Red Dragon 'Hol a Fresh' (rare video) 1987

@LeoOReggio
This video was shot in Park Lane, Red Hills Road, where Red Dragon's brethren, Daddy Lizard resides, and on Spanish Town Road, and the river near to Blue Mountain Inn. Junior "Becky" Beckford was the Director of Photography on this video.
Red Dragon, one of the most enduring and dependable dancehall deejays to emerge from Jamaica, learned his trade on Barrington Hi-Fi in 1981, progressing to Stone Love, Small Axe, Rambo Mango (which he owned), and People’s Choice sound systems. He changed his name from Redman to Red Dragon in 1984 because of the popularity of his “Laughing Dragon” lyric on a dubplate. 1987’s “Hol’ A Fresh” was a huge hit for Winston Riley but failed to achieve predicted crossover success due to poor promotion. In 1988, Red Dragon and his brother Flourgon went up against Ninjaman and Jr. Demus in what turned out to be the start of a yearly clash at the annual reggae show Sting.

Before internet when people were decent and things were organic. I miss those times this was the best time in Jamaica.
