Capleton Booked For ’90’s Joyride’ On Jan. 25th

The forthcoming 90’s Joyride dance and live show will be all about the best music and fashion trends from that era. As such, the January 25th staging, which will be held at Pier 1 in Montego Bay, is being subtitled the Mesh Marina Edition. That said, the promoters fittingly booked veteran dancehall artist Capleton to perform. 

In the late 1980s, when Capleton arrived on the music scene, he had a slew of hit songs: “Bumbo Red,” “Number One on the Look Good Chart,” “No Lotion Man,” etc. Capleton‘s conversion to Rastafari in the early 1990s led to a change in his lyrics, which resulted in some of his biggest songs: “Alms House,” “Music is a Mission,” “Tour,” etc.

This is a banging dancehall juggling that features Ras Kronik, Capleton, Bounty Killer, Turbulence & friends, and Yahdeen Essence.

Emerging artist Yahdeen Essence was next with an inspirational tune called “Teach Me,” followed by Capleton‘s “Watch Out Fi Dem,” a song that laments the rise of petty crimes. The final two additions to the “Passion Fruit Riddim” were by Turbulence & Friends, “Bun Fiyah,” and Bounty Killer‘s current trending tune, “Ball a Roll.”

After yet another successful year, the team at Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC will wrap up 2024 with this project. They are also promising to deliver more quality music in 2025.

However, Agent Sasco has since clarified this misconception by revealing an array of esteemed performers set to join him on stage.
 

The concert will feature notable artists including Tanya Stephens, Kevin Downswell, and Samory I, as well as a special surprise guest. This gathering will take place at UWI Bowl on Sunday, December 29th, where these talented individuals will unite to celebrate their friend and colleague’s spirit of gratitude. In a recent interview with the Jamaica Observer, Agent Sasco articulated the essence of the event: “The guests appearances we will have will also be in that [gratitude] spirit and vein, and so it will just be excellent entertainment and food. It’s a family-friendly event; everyone is welcomed to come and just hold a vibe.”
 

The gates for this highly anticipated occasion will open at 4:00 PM with the show commencing around 7:00 PM. Agent Sasco is expected to take the stage around 9:00 PM, thus ensuring that attendees can enjoy an evening filled with warmth and camaraderie before heading home by midnight.
