this year.
Winston ‘Wee Pow’ Powell, the man who started Stone Love in the Molynes Road area of Kingston in 1972, will receive the Order of Distinction during the National Honours and Awards ceremony at King’s House on October 20.
In a 2002 interview with the Observer marking Stone Love’s 30th anniversary, Powell spoke about
its origins and its rise as a
dancehall powerhouse.
“Stone Love is an enterprise now…In 1972 it was a baby soun’,” he said. “The majority a people start know ’bout Stone Love from ’83 when wi start play inna the ghetto.”
Born in Manchester , Powell’s little-engine-that-could roared in the late-1980s when its audience expanded to include ‘uptowners’ and corporate Jamaica . When dancehall music and culture took off in the 1990s, Stone Love’s popularity soared from Kingston to Brooklyn, London
and Tokyo .
