MIGHTY CROWN’S FAREWELL
Thanksgiving Holiday weekend at Amazura Night Club in Queens promises to be one of epic proportion, as the “biggest and baddest sound systems in the world” are set to take center stage at “World Bash” for a musically-riveting send off for eight-time world champion sound Mighty Crown, according to Flair Lindsey, Caribbean entertainment publicist at Acclaim PR.
Produced by powerhouse Caribbean entertainment event producers Irish and Chin, “World Bash” will feature “high-level sound system entertainment,” Lindsey told Caribbean Life on Sunday.
Lindsey said big league sound systems — including Soul Supreme, Bass Odyssey, Kilimanjaro, David Rodigan, Dynamq, Tony Matterhorn, Pink Panther, LP International, Bodyguard, Metromedia and Mighty Crown — are billed for the highly-anticipated event on Friday, Nov. 24.
“The larger-than-life line up is curated with selectors and sounds who have played an undeniable role in the Mighty Crown story,” Lindsey said. “Whether through actual clashing or influence, these players are integral in the evolution of Mighty Crown.”

Irish and Chin, stalwart of presenting Jamaican music and culture to mass audiences, sees “World Bash” as an expansion of their famed “World Clash” brand, minus the clash.
Described as a supercharged sound system stage show and concert, with bashment vibes, Garfield “Chin” Bourne of Irish and Chin said: “’World Bash’ has been on my mind for some time.”
“Buzzin’ since September, fans are excited to again experience sound culture in all its brilliance,” Lindsey said. “Deemed as a special event, the majority of these elite sounds have not shared a stage together in ages. On all accounts, ‘World Bash’ is positioned to be a next level of sound entertainment.”
Bourne said: “I envision ‘World Bash’ as 60 percent festive and 40 percent arrish, with unparalleled stage show vibes.
“With everyone talking, it gives me a good feeling about ‘World Bash,’” he added. “The fact that people are excited means there is still hope for sound culture and our brand.”
Lindsey said the “impactful sounds on ‘World Bash’ have the dub artillery to keep music lovers entertained all night. Classic anthems times good music are the ingredients for a festive night.
“Whether one is a dubplate lover or a champagne spiller, the who’s who of reggae and dancehall culture is coming together for Mighty Crown in New York,” Lindsey said. “With over 30 years under their belts, the eight-time world champion sound, who hails from Japan, is retiring.
“The signature ‘World Bash’ serves as a last stop on Mighty Crown’s ‘The Final Round Tour’ and ultimate chapter of the sound’s storied career,” Lindsey added.
