Joaquin “Quino” McWhinney is the founder and lead singer of the reggae group, Big Mountain, formed in San Diego, California. After reaching #1 status on the Billboard chart with the single “Baby, I love Your Way’ in 1994, Joaquin and the group recorded more albums and toured extensively. He wanted to take a break from recording and the touring so he decided on becoming a high school music teacher and activist. He is now back recording new music and is once again touring the world sharing his music with us.
This was my first interview with someone while in Bali, Indonesia and it shows us the ability to reach the world with a little effort. Joaquin is a thoughtful man and I truly appreciate him making the time to share his thoughts on many subjects including music, activism, family, reggae and most importantly for the show his thoughts on the importance of travelling and seeing how others live around the world.
