Dubwise: Many Rivers to Cross brings David Rodigan this Friday
A major night of reggae culture and sound system excellence is set for Friday, January 23, 2026, as Jake’s Treasure Beach, in aid of the BREDS Treasure Beach Foundation, presents DUBWISE: Many Rivers to Cross.
The purpose-driven cultural event will directly support the ongoing work of the BREDS Treasure Beach Foundation as it continues to assist families and community initiatives across St Elizabeth following the passage of Hurricane Melissa.
Proceeds from the event will help strengthen recovery-focused support and long-term community programmes, ensuring the impact reaches beyond the dancefloor.
The event — set for 10A West King’s House Road beginning at 8:00 pm — will feature legendary selector David Rodigan, acclaimed Jamaican cultural voice and sound system pioneer Rory Stone Love, and iconic dancehall sound system Renaissance led by selectors Jazzy T and Delano, with an opening set by Dubwise Sound Station.
The line-up promises an elevated and authentic sound system experience of dub, roots and reggae heritage.
“We are honoured to host world-renowned DJ David Rodigan back in Jamaica for a night of exceptional entertainment, while supporting the essential work of the BREDS Treasure Beach Foundation as they continue helping families and communities in St Elizabeth following Hurricane Melissa,” said Jason Henzell, chairman of Jakes Hotel in Treasure Beach.
“This event is about celebrating our musical heritage while giving back in a meaningful way,” said Jason Panton of Dubwise Jamaica. “The support raised helps the foundation continue the work on the ground, supporting recovery and strengthening communities.”
With an atmosphere designed for serious music lovers and cultural tastemakers, DUBWISE: Many Rivers to Cross will be both a celebration of reggae’s legacy and a practical opportunity for patrons to contribute to a cause that remains urgent for St Elizabeth.
