The Ciboney were pre-Columbian indigenous inhabitants of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean Sea.[1] The name Ciboney derives from the Taíno language, in which it means Cave Dwellers; evidence has shown that a number of the Ciboney people have lived in caves at some time.[1] Over the years, many theories have been brought forth as to how the Ciboney people arrived to the Caribbean. Many of these theories have a weak foundation due to insufficient evidence. It is explained in the book Liberties Lost: Caribbean Indigenous Societies and Slave Systems (2004), "The most popular view now is that the Ciboney were from pre-farming cultures that entered the Antilles from South America, not as one ethnic group, but as waves of different migrants over a very long period of time."[2] Study of genetic specimens seems to support this South American origin, and possibly Central American, as well.[3]
When the Europeans arrived, the Ciboney had already been driven by their powerful Taíno neighbors to western Hispaniola (Haiti) and western Cuba.[1] The Ciboney of Cuba and Hispaniola were culturally different from each other; those of Cuba went by the name Guanajatabey. Within a century after European contact, the Ciboney were extinct.[citation needed]
The Ciboney languages are unattested apart from a single word of Guanajatabey.

Tony Matterhorn (birth name Dufton Taylor Jr.) is a dancehall reggae deejay and sound system selector from Kingston, Jamaica.
Matterhorn got his start in the sound system arena in the early 1990s, landing on King Addies in Brooklyn, New York alongside selector Babyface.[1] After leaving Addies in 1998 to form his own sound, he went on to win several international clashes, including World Clash Jamaica and the UK Cup Clash.[2]
Tony Matterhorn eventually crossed over into deejaying, and his Dutty Wine became both a hit single and a controversial dance craze in 2006.[3][4] Matterhorn continues to record and tour, as both a deejay and soundman.[5]
The nickname "Tony Matterhorn" comes from Matterhorn, a brand of cigarettes sold in Jamaica.[6]

Lady Saw (born Marion Hall,[1] 12 July 1968, Galina, Saint Mary, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae singer, known as the queen of dancehall.
Contents |
Hall began performing with local sound systems at the age of fifteen.[1] She went on to work with the Stereo One system in Kingston.[2] Her performances brought her to the attention of record producers and she recorded her first single for producer Piper, and "Love Me or Lef Me", produced by Olive Shaw received significant airplay.[2] She had her first hit with "If Him Lef" and she topped the Jamaican charts with "Good Man".[2]
She soon became known for her slack style, with songs such as "Stab Up De Meat". Her performances were banned in some parts of Jamaica, though equally lewd male performances were not.[1] This prompted her to record "Freedom of Speech" in protest.[1] She enjoyed a big hit in Jamaica with "Hardcore" in 1985, and followed it with "Welding Torch."[1] She also recorded "Condom," warning girls of the dangers of unprotected heterosexual sex.[1] She recorded duets with several other major stars, including Beenie Man, Luciano, Dennis Brown, Bounty Killer and Beres Hammond.[2]
By the mid-1990s she had moved towards "conscious" lyrics.[1] In 1999 she had a major hit in the United States with "Smile", recorded with Vitamin C, which peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, also a major hit in New Zealand and Canada, and certified gold with over 500,000 sales.[2] In 2002, her collaboration with No Doubt, "Underneath It All", which reached number three in the US and sold more than three million copies, reaching triple platinum certification.[2] The track won a Grammy Award for 'Best Performance by a Duo or Group'.[2]
She is the first female deejay to win a Grammy Award and to be certified as a triple-platinum artist.[3] She is also the first woman to headline dancehall shows outside her native Jamaica. She launched her own record label, Divas Records, in January 2010.[3]

Matt Jordan (born October 13, 1975 in Aurora, Colorado) is a former soccer goalkeeper. He is currently the Director of Soccer Operations for the Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer.

Jordan graduated from Overland High School in Aurora, and played college soccer at Clemson University from 1994 to 1997, for whom he started 80 total games, and was named a first-team All-American in 1997 while leading the Tigers to the NCAA quarterfinals.
Upon graduating, Jordan was selected tenth overall in the 1998 MLS College Draft by the Dallas Burn. Stuck behind Mark Dodd, Jordan only started one game as a rookie. However, he took the job from Dodd in the 1999 season, impressing everybody with his athletic ability. Jordan started for the next four years for the Burn, starting a total of 114 games with the team and registered a 1.51 goals against average, leading the Burn to the playoffs in each of four years with the team. However, the Burn acquired promising young goalkeeper D.J. Countess midseason 2002 and Jordan, seeing the writing on the wall, opted to try his fortunes overseas, signing with Odense BK of Denmark after the 2002 season.
However, Jordan saw little time with Odense, and returned to MLS in the middle of the 2004 season, signing with the Columbus Crew. He only played one game for the Crew, however, spending most of the year behind Jon Busch. In 2005, an injury kept Jordan out for most of the season, and after newly-acquired Jonny Walker played well, Jordan was shipped to his hometown Rapids for a pick in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. He was waived during the 2007 pre-season, and the Rapids brought Zach Thornton on board.
The Impact signed Jordan in 2007 to replace long-time starter Greg Sutton, who had moved on to MLS expansion side Toronto FC. In Montreal, Jordan established himself on a successful Impact team that won the inaugural Canadian Championship in 2008, posting two clean sheets and receiving the George Gross Memorial Trophy as tournament MVP.[1]
On December 18, 2008, Montreal announced the re-signing of Jordan to two year contract.[2]
On February 1, 2011, Jordan announced his retirement as player. He will stay with Montreal as director of soccer operations.[3]
