Merritone closes 58th anniversary at The Deck
Merritone closes 58th anniversary at The Deck
When Merritone Music was started in St. Thomas, approximately 14 miles from where Paul Bogle began his epic march to Spanish Town in 1865, Alexander Bustamante had been out of detention at Up Park Camp for nine years and it would be 14 years before Marcus Garvey’s body was brought home.
The sound system started the ‘Las’ Lick’ of its official 58th anniversary celebrations on National Heroes Day, and the merry folk continued dancing into the early hours of Tuesday.
