Kingston, Jamaica -- What do LA Lewis, Mr. Vegas, Beenie Man, Black-er,
Ragashanti and the games 'Ketch di Cock/Rooster', 'Buss A Kiss' and 'Bax Dung', all have in common?
All will be special features on the upcoming "Mix Up and Blenda" show slated to take place on December 25 at the National Arena and popular entertainment and radio personality, Ragashanti is at the helm.
The
multi-faceted mogul came up with the novel "Mix Up and Blenda" idea and
it isn't the concert or comedy show many would expect: it's filled with
a flurry of unusual and exciting games, Dancehall performances and of
course comedy routines.
Ragashanti, whose correct name is Dr.
Kingsley Stewart, explained the concept behind the two-and-a-half year
old show. "The idea was to merge Dancehall culture with comedy and the
result was "Mix Up and Blenda". We wanted artistes to perform and
comedians doing their sets, but we also wanted to do something
different and that's how the show was born. The comedy segment
incorporates stand-up routines and games. The games are a bit edgy, but
they are all in the name of fun."
One such game is the "Bax
Dung". Ragashanti explained that in this game, "Men will have to get
boxed from a woman and it's $1, 000 per box. So even LA Lewis will be
participating in this game. He calls himself the '7 Star General', so
the dare was for him to get on stage and allow a woman to box him seven
times...Everything there including the performances with the artistes
will be very interactive. It's not just about them getting on stage and
doing songs. There will also be a lot of humour in it."
Other
games Ragashanti highlighted were the: All-Star Cuss Out-Cuss Out,
"These are friendly clashes, using witty and entertaining metaphors and
no indecent language. Just a humorous cuss-out section garrison-style";
the screaming Orgasm, "This is where the best simulation of an orgasm
wins"; Ketch Di Cock "Where 20 cocks will be released in the Arena and
each one you catch is valued at $2, 000. But there will also be a
special rooster there and that one will be valued at $5, 000." 
He
continued: "All the things happening there will be highly unusual but
they are edgy and playful and all fall under the "Mix Up and Blenda"
theme and our dominant focus is on humour, so even the kind of artistes
we chose also fell under that category like Black-er, Captain Barkey
and Wickerman and others. Their songs all have that humorous element to
them."
In addition to Mr. Vegas, Beenie Man, Black-er , LA
Lewis, and Captain Barkey and Wickerman, other performers on the
Christmas night show, sponsored by Mandingo Roots Tonic Wine, Taboo
Energy Drink, Rum Bar Rum, Grace Porridge and Grace Blends, include:
Boasy Bwoy Floyd (also known as Pretty Bwoy Floyd), Gunther, DJ Kriss
Kross, Pamputae, Beetle Bailey, DJ Kevin & DJ Santana, Lemon, Kuku
Doo and Fab 5.
"It's far from the traditional comedy show and it
will be on Christmas evening and there aren't a lot of things to do
that night. So we encourage everyone to come out and have fun and
"laugh and grow" as we say," said Ragashanti.

Breastfeeding is a natural calling and every mother should be proud to do it.
SHE looks away, as if oblivious of the baby’s hungry cry. After a while, an elderly lady says: “Give the baby the breast.” But instead of heeding the motherly command, she rushes for a bottle of formula milk in her baby bag. The toddler screams louder, defiantly demanding her God-given right.
The mother fumbles with the buttons on her blouse, aware of the peering eyes, and makes an attempt at a discreet feed. The older woman says: “No mother should be ashamed of breastfeeding. Be proud. This is our natural call. Many women would wish to share your experience but they can’t give birth. |
