I found out about this event in the most random way….sitting at a bar in the middle of nowhere talking to a complete stranger. This is a talent contest similar to Digicel Rising Stars but on a much smaller scale. It’s being held in Discovery Bay, Jamaica at the Noranda sports center. Noranda is a big aluminum company in Jamaica and they sponsor this event, which was free and a lot of fun to watch! This footage was from dancehall night in the competition.
Sorry about the quality of the video but it was dark out and I couldn’t move any closer to the stage. Special thanks to Al Gallimore who has invited me to his TV station in Browns Town to talk more about “local” Jamaica. And thanks to Seymour Green who provided me with a little more info on what this community event is all about.
