Next Week!

"Shaking Up Orange Street":
Kingston's "Beat Street" is Orange Street... where a cluster of amazing studios set up shop: including Augustus Pablo, Niney the Observer, Prince Buster, and (the now "late') vocalist, Winston Riley, who took the name of his group and founded Techniques Studio... and almost single-handedly launched reggae into its progression.
Take a walk with Goldfinger down the sultry sidewalks and check out the sounds coming from the back door... and pledge your support for the Magnificence of non-commercial WTJU's annual Rock Marathon Fund-Raiser... and the big sounds that came from a little street.
