Promoters of popular dances Bembe and Dutty Fridaze responds to the Jamaica Council of Churches (JCC) decision to get the dances banned.

According to the JCC, these sessions should be held responsible for the promoting of sexually crude songs that are filled with lewd lyrics and as such are now lobbying for the government to put an end to the street parties.

Meanwhile Bembe main promoter Richie Feelings is furious at the JCC’S decision.

Dutty Fridayz promoter Two Grand, shares the same sentiment.

All this is stemming from the Broadcasting Commission’s recent banned of all daggering music, songs that incite violence or are sexually explicit and those with bleeps or beeps from all radio and television stations.
