Minott Movements and Black Roots have collaborated to host the fourth staging of Sugar Minott's Day Tribute, in honour of the late dancehall godfather Lincoln 'Sugar' Minott, tomorrow. It will be held at Youth Man Promotions HQ, 1 Robert Crescent, Kingston 5.

This year's Sugar Minott's Day Tribute will be a day earlier than Minott's actual 58th birthday, which is on May 25.

The event, which started in the US, promises to deliver strong musical displays and performances from some of Jamaica's best entertainers. Minott, who died in 2010, was well known for songs such as Herbman Hustling, Good Thing Going, Mr DC, Buy Out The Bar and Never Gonna Give Jah Up, among many others.

The concert's theme this year is 'Unity is Strength' and Minott's daughter Pashon said it is relevant as Minott's offspring are now combining their efforts.

SPECIAL DAY

"We are all working together to make the day special. Our father was a very peaceful man, so this is what he would have wanted. Patrons turning out will get a chance to see the Minott children performing. Blaw Minott, Blay Minott and myself will be giving performances, as well as his grandchildren, Destiny M and Swag J," she said.

The Minott family will also host a family and fans get-together on Sunday, May 25, where they will be showing videos of Sugar Minott's performances as well as playing music from his lengthy catalogue. That will also be held at Youth Man Promotions HQ. more
