Tony Rebel
Jamaica’s Rebel With a Cause has a divine mandate to advance the spirit of reggae. Besides Rebel's consistent output of hit records throughout the 1990s, he has earned accolades as a record producer. Rebel Salute, the annual festival he launched in 1994, is reminiscent of Reggae Sunsplash in its heyday.
