Old-school artistes for Rising Star sound system launch Monday

KINGSTON, Jamaica — A strong cast of old school artistes are scheduled to perform at a live show marking the official launch of the Original Rising Star sound system on Easter Monday.

The event takes place at South Camp Road and features singers Jimmy Riley, Carl Dawkins, Puddy Roots, Pad Anthony, Mikey General and deejay Little Twitch.

The show is produced by deejay Buckey Ranks (Clive Buckley) whose son Marlon ‘Bad Indian’ Mitchell is selector for the London-based Original Rising Star.

Studio Mix, a Waterhouse sound system, which helped launch the careers of Half Pint and Junior Reid, will also provide recorded music.
