'Dutty Wine' killed Tanisha Henry - "Will this death stop the spread of the dance?

Claude Mills
YardFlex Writer

DuttyWineDeathGirl.jpgTanisha Henry, an 18 year-old resident of Beacon Avenue in Thompson Pen, became the first official causalty of the 'Dutty Wine' dance when she died this morning right in the middle of a 'School Uniform' party in her community.

YardFlex.com went to the Spanish Town hospital hoping to get some information relating to her death but a "Dr. Knight' who was the physician on duty at that time was not there. Our investigations took us to Beacon Avenue where we spoke to her mother, who with tears standing in her eyes, managed to blurt out the story in between heaving sobs.

"When I go there, dem ask if she was doing the Dutty Wine dance. I told them yes, and the doctor said that it was probably it that killed her because she have a cut on her forehead...there was a big crowd at the hospital...Tanisha was well loved by people...she was going to do so much with her life," her mother, Linda Henry, told a reporter.

'Dutty Wine', the dance craze that ruled the Summer with its infectious chorus penned by selector-turned-deejay Matterhorn , has become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon spawning dances all over Jamaica and even overseas, and the dance has even made it to Youtube. Still, there had been health concerns voiced by medical professionals about the possibility of serious injuries from the swinging head-rotations which are a key feature of the dance. Since the dance became popular, there had been wild unsubstantiated rumours which circulated about females breaking their necks, and of others sustaining muscular injuries, while doing the dance. However, this is the first death that could be directly attributable to the dance, but it may be too early to assign blame as an autopsy is yet to be done.

"She wasn't sick or anything. No asthma, she was healthy healthy so this is shock, when mi see har lie down, it come in like me inna one bad dream. Tanisha just gone. Later this week, we will find out when dem do the autopsy, but it strange, imagine yu pickney get up go dance, and her life just end so," she said, as a tear made its way down her wrinkled face. "She just gone."

Doctors warn that persons who are described as "pre-morbid", that is, having an existing condition that could be exacerbated by doing the dance, to desist from doing trying to 'Dutty Wine'.

Will this death stop the spread of the dance? Only time will tell.

This is really sad, condolences to the family... she was so very young. I don't reckon it will stop girls from doing it but they'll probably take more care.

WELL I WOULD SAY ITS A TERRIBLE THING TO HEAR SOMEONE DIE FROM THE DUTTY WINE DANCE IF THATS THE CASE AND SAD TOO,MUCH CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF THIS YOUNG LADY.I LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE DOING THE DANCE BUT I WILL NEVER DO IT MYSELF.


Posted by: Elaine on October 30, 2006 07:48 AM

I would like to send condolence to the family,but i want to say they don't know for sure that it was the dance that really killed her,cause unless she broke her neck,which i doubt ,because they did'nt say that,then what else could that dance movedo to cause her death.Anyway i am not a Doctor,so we will hear the outcome after the Autopsy.


Posted by: dabz on October 30, 2006 07:55 AM

im very sorry


Posted by: fx on October 30, 2006 08:01 AM

love and prayers to the family. in our country with so much crime and killings, its even more shocking when someone dies doing something that is supposed to be fun. If this was the United States there would be a lawsuit filed against Mattahorn already.


Posted by: Pablospeng on October 30, 2006 08:01 AM

Dutty Wine??!? The story doesn't substantiate the headline. There's nothing that links dutty wining to her being dead!


Posted by: sexymanta on October 30, 2006 08:14 AM

much condolences goes out to that poor girl's family


Posted by: Roxanne on October 30, 2006 08:14 AM

Other than some people in this world, I actually hate seeing this dance done. The first time I saw it.. the first words that came out of my mouth was I hope dem people doh break dey neck. And now look what happen. Much condolences to the family. Know that I never tried the dance and I never will. It's sickening to me.

THIS IS A VERY SAD STORY I HOPE OTHERS WILL LEARN FROM


Posted by: GAIL on October 30, 2006 08:19 AM

This dance really has damaging effects and i am convinced that it is highly possible that it can lead to death.I have been engaged in doing the "Dutty Wine" dance before, which has resulted in me having serious,painful aches in the neck and upper shoulder region. I am engouraging everybody to desist from participating in doing this dance has it has serious implications.

My condolences to the family and friends

Posted by: Samantha on October 30, 2006 08:52 AM

My sincerest condolences goes out to the family of this girl. I'm so sad to read about the circumstances involving her death and I just want to say to the family to be strong during this difficult time of bereavement. I am also from the Bahamas and it is true that we recently had a death from a young girl that was doing the dutty wine dance. I hope that this is a messag to all of the young ladies out there that may be overdoing it when they're dancing and to just try to be more careful. May the young lady rest in peace...


Posted by: kk on October 30, 2006 11:21 AM

condolences to the familey. we don't know for sure if it's the 'Dutty Wine'dance that caused her death, but we all know that her dancing help to contribute to that. maybe something eles was wrong and the movements and all that helps to trigger off and, cause her death. i am not a doctor so i will just have to wait just like everyone eles to know from the autopsy. it is sad though. as someone working in a medical facility, the dutty wine is not something i would recommend for anyone.we recieved a lot of complains after doing that dance.


Posted by: Shemisa on October 30, 2006 12:10 PM

I am sorry to hear about that young lady. The dutty wine is not safe, i know this because i did it on saturday night and my neck is still hurting me from then. Yes i am a respectable young lady but there's nothing wrong with having a little fun, just dont swing so hard when doing the dutty wine and you'll be ok.

IN A RECENT INTERVIEW, MATTERHORN SAID THAT HIS DAUGHTER IS NOT ALLOWED TO DUTTY WINE AT ALL. IT IS SO SAD THAT THIS YOUNG LADY WHO HAD HER ENTIRE FUTURE IN FRONT OF HER DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS DUTTY WINE DANCE. I RECALL A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT AN ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED IN ONE OF THE JAMIACAN PAPERS WARNING PERSONS OF THE DANGERS OF PERFORMING THIS PARTICULAR DANCE. DOCTERS WERE COMMENTING THAT THESE KIND OF BODY MOVEMENTS COULD QUITE POSSIBLY LEAD TO DEATH. I WILL LISTEN TO THE SONG WHEN IT IS PLAYED ON THE RADIO, I WILL EVEN SING IT BUT DO I DARE TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO DUTTY WINE? HELL NO! LIFE IS TOOOO PRECIOUS. I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS YOUNG LADY. MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE AND MAY THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP HER FAMILY ESPECIALLY HER MOM.


Posted by: Hannah on October 30, 2006 12:58 PM

sorry to hear what happen to that girl but everything happens for a reason, i hope the rest of u idiots out there learn something from this and stop doing that disgraceful dance. Start acting like ladies now!!!


Posted by: paul on October 30, 2006 01:24 PM

I strongly think that this dance is somewhat evil. Call me stupid, but how can a sane person continually rotate their head as if it is on a sprocket.
Dem damn gal yah too foolish, because everytime a likkle so called deejay tell dem fe do al kind of silly things dem run gwaan and do it.
The Dutty wine dance is for skettels and whores who do not have nothing to live for!! As far as I am concerned, dem can all go "Dutty Wine dem self to death, who cares, if dem damn careless gyal de nuh care 'bout dem self."
I want the authorities to ban the song and restrict public performances of the dance. As for Mr Matterhorn him should a get lock up fi MURDER!!! As this is partially his responsibility. Why him never tek him "dutty" mouth" and tell the young girls something better? Him and his Dutty wine should be sent back to hell.


Posted by: yardgal on October 30, 2006 01:25 PM

My condolence to the family and friends, but we cannot blame the DJ for nothing. Him sing him song ah who wah dance dance. People could do nutty wine in so much different ways without being all over the place. Mi neva do it yet and mi nuh do it. Mek wi wait till the autopsy. yardagl from NYC

Posted by: Dre on October 30, 2006 03:28 PM

So sad. So i guess everyone should be careful of "Hot Wuk" also.


Posted by: DRE STAR on October 30, 2006 03:31 PM

Well there is no medical evidence to link the dance to Tanisha'S death.So i think the media should be more proffessional about their work and headlines and be accurate with there stories.There is a million way to die so until an autopsy is done by an licensed proffessional then we should just wait and see whats the cause of the poor girl death.My condolences goes out to Tanisha's family,friends and love ones.


Posted by: bird on October 30, 2006 03:35 PM

Posted by: kelly on October 30, 2006 05:39 PM

I know this is just an entertainment website but that does not excuse you from responsible journalism. Why is the headline "'Dutty Wine' killed Tanisha Henry" when there is no conclusive evidence to substantiate the claim in the article. You spoke with no medical specialists and not even the mother is sure. Yardflex I love the site but this one is pure senstationalism.

my heart goes out to the young lady mother.i will keep her in my prayer


Posted by: phyba on October 30, 2006 08:11 PM

very sad indeed and time and time again ladies are being warned not to do the dutty wine so aggressivley, but inspite of telling young girls tanisha's age, older and even younger girls aged 5 they are still doing the dance because of it's entertaining status and even i've tried it, not to sound like a hypocrite, but i too almost popeed my neck.

i think i hit the nail on the head by mentioning aggressive because the way in which some of these ladies interpret the dance can look very dangerous and i'm no docter but it does have damaging effects.

in this case tragically resulting in death, it should open up many eyes to know that it is possible as stupid as it sounds but it is no joke.

look at the australian man who fought wid snakes and crocadiles and him die by stingray - something so minor, so my argument is not to underestimate your body limitations.

until the autopsy the matter of the dance killing the young girl is just speculation, but even still this topic should raise eyebrows because it is a matter of self respect definatley and i do to feel myself that this dance inparticular is just a show off dance which someone mentioned earlier that you can do it so that u dont hav 2 swing ya head?? - that's the whole point of the dance - swinging ya a** left right and centre and there is no proper way you can do it.

it's just another catchy dancing tune that we interpret how we want, but some get to mad wid it.

regarding matterhorn, what can he really say?

i for one don't see him as the person to target and place blame. - no time atall, he's just an artist who's creative view got him the attention that he needed to establish himself as a serious artist and he's making his money.

i do think however, he can make it his responsibility to use this tragedy and turn it into a positive movement such as raising self-awareness, keeping fit, respect, encouraging education to stop young youths taking life for joke and drawing the line between child and adult current affairs. all sorts of good could come from this, even backing power from portia simpson would make residents see the seriousness of the issue and a change in societies way of thinking.

this is my view thankyou /\Phyba

Posted by: Cross_Angry on October 30, 2006 10:03 PM

My deepest thoughts to the family.The dance in itself can cause harm. Think of your brain as being in a covered cup. Then think of it being shaken , this type of voilent movement has the ability to cause swelling of the brain and other spinal injuries.

Any one ever heard of "shaken baby syndrome"? It is quite possible that her movements induced some kind of brain or spinal column injury.

God Bless the family.

people please b-carefull


Posted by: nikkinik on October 30, 2006 11:47 PM

its so embarrassing to c that a dance can end a life. Yet its not impossible b cause i tried it and it makes me dizzy. ALL DUTTY WINE DANCERS PLEASE B CAREFUL.


Posted by: Lulu on October 31, 2006 12:15 AM

Prayers and condolence goes out to the family. In a time like this we all need to stand together and try to understand what took place EXACTLY. I go out a 'dutty wine' and there's nothing wrong w/ the dance itself among many others. However they need to check to see if she was under the influence of alcohol, red bull or any other tonic drink, because these all affect you on the dance floor penidng on the amount consumed. Please don't blame my Dj Matterhorn for nothing, she danced at her free will and he was definitely not there cheering her on. It's a tragedy and I hope others learn but no reason to stop 'dutty wining.' I know I won't.

Posted by: T on October 31, 2006 03:09 AM

TO YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING THAT DUTTY WINE COULDN'T KILL SOMEONE, THATS SO NOT TRUE, THE HEAD AND THE BRAIN ARE VERY DELICATE AND THE WAY SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO EXAGGERATE THE MOVES ITS VERY LIKELY FOR SOMEONE TO SEVERLY AFFECT THE BRAIN, EXPECIALLY THE VERY DELICATE PART AT THE BACK OF THE BRAIN. (THE CEREBRUM)... ANYWAY THE DOCTOR IS NOT SURE IF THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF HER DEATH. AS HE SAID THE DUTTY WINE IS "PROBLY" WHAT KILLED HER, BECAUSE SHE HAD A CUT ON HER FOREHEAD, MEANING SHE MAY HAVE KNOCKED HER HEAD WHILE DOING THE DUTTY WINE. IT SO SAD THOUGH, U WOULDN'T THINK SOMETHING THAT U ENJOY WOULD KILL U, CONDOLENCE TO THE FAMILY OF TANISHA HENRY


Posted by: lovingeyes on October 31, 2006 07:55 AM

First, my condolences to the family but the Lord giveth n the Lord taketh away. Secondly, Jornalist need to stop throwing wild accusations in no way did the story link "duty wine" to the young lady's death. I say though that by just looking at this dance I get a strain in my neck.

Posted by: lil T on October 31, 2006 08:52 AM

My condolecenses to the family. Dutty wine is a dance, and should not be causing deaths . IF one is doing the dance too vigorously or in the wrong form they will get hurt. ITs the same ting in doinog anyting the wrong way. SO the dance or matteron should not be blamed for it.


Posted by: Shem on October 31, 2006 09:08 AM

i'm sorry to hear this. my only thing is to say that girls be careful when doing the duuty wine. remember to have safe, clean fun.


Posted by: kan on October 31, 2006 09:32 AM

you all need to stop doing the "DUTTY WINE"
my condolences goes out to her family.
you all need to stick to the "OLD FASHION" kind to dances an stop mek people press u button.


Posted by: Chanti on October 31, 2006 10:00 AM

My condolecenses going out to the family. I think the media should lay off a bit because they don't have no real evidence the dutty wine is what actually killed her and if the autopsy came back and see by her doing the dutty wine is the cause of death we can't blame Tony Matterhorn. In life it's all about choices and she choose to do the dutty wine what I'm getting at if a next artist bring out a song saying throw gasoline on your body and light it a fire you think anyone will do it. No don't think so. It was her choice to do the dance. I myself had try the dance the headache I got after I didn't do it again.

As say before condolecenses to the family and friends.


Posted by: Wayne F. Smith on October 31, 2006 10:12 AM

I'm personally still in shock myself after hearing of the death of this young girl while doing the dutty wine. Just the other day my 18 year old daughter was showing me the dutty wine with my other two daughters doing the same, and at that time i just found it amusing as they performed for me. When I heard this tragic breaking news, I immediatly phoned up my daughters and made them promise me they would never do that dance again,..a mean,..it could have been my daughter lieing in the morgue now dead....My deepest, most sincere, condolences goes out to her parents who must be in unbelieveable pain right now,..my prayers goes out to both of you, i feel sad and almoust at the point of tears because of this incident, i'm so sorry to hear, may Jesus bless u both.

Wayne.

Nuff Luv and Respect.......


Posted by: Montego Bay man on October 31, 2006 11:50 AM

I want to send my condolences to the family of taneisha but there are a few issues that are incorrect about this report on yardflex

1. Taneisha is not the first victim.. its just that she is the first one that was publicised. The first one i was from manchester and the second from right in montego bay.. i certainly hope people dont listen news and say its only that which is covered is happening..

2. The dance was invented or So called "Dutty Whine" by a selector called SLIMJAY from MOntego BaY and was perfected by DIMA a female from Flankers in montego Bay..

3. The first song about dutty whine was done by the MERTIAL FAMILY a group of young men that are popular within st james and nearby parishes..

4. Tony Matherhorn came to WACKY WEDNESDAYZ an event that is kept at PORK PIT in montego bay and herd the tune and saw the dance and went to kingston STOLE THE IDEA AND THE LYRICS.. ( but added a few lines in his version)

5. The MERITAL FAMILY AND DIMA that same lady that went to PASSA PASSA and taught the entire world how to do the dance ( that time when the wig fell off..) has been on tour with Elephant man who sang a song and took her DYMA on tour with him..

In closing, it has been proven that during competitions girls try to add their twist to the dance and in a bid to out class each other will go to the extreme.. falling of speaker boxes to their deaths and the most popular neck problems..

its history in the making though.. We are the first country to consider putting a band on dancing..

MR VEGAS took a page out of MATHERHORN'S book too, he took the other whine the GROUP sang about, stole the idea and did a dance song called "HOT WUCK" now thats the dance you should see.. its full time the kingston artiste stop stealing lyrics from the Artiste that visit studios and or appear on stage shows before them..
IF anyone wants to see references

MATHERHORN STOLE THE YOUNG ARTISTE SONG AND DANCE MAN CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF.. it has been going on for a long time..

Posted by: JahMayKah on October 31, 2006 03:18 PM

It's sad when anyone passes prior to old age no matter the means they leave this planet. Condolences to her friends and family. However, in my opinion I think the Dutty Wine is getting a Bad rap. I have seen young ladies take this dance to the extreem and I have yet to see any reason for one to die from this dance. I have and have witnessed plenty of women doing the "Head Top" and nothing has been said about death or serious injuries. I too have enjoyed doing the dance but definately not to the extreme I refuse to go that far though I enjoy watching it to the fullest. Sad for the young lady being mentioned in the article yes, but I am still holding out on the reason for her untimely death. I remember reading the article pertaining to the death of the 2005 dancehall queen, that beautiful young girl, I the first thing her mother claimed was voodoo, yet the Dr's have provided a logical reasons behind her death!


Posted by: Tiish on October 31, 2006 03:40 PM

Out And Bad NEED to find some compassion for our fellow human beign..A life has been lost and the best condolence you could some up is how fi wineup pon some man buddy head...Di man dem buddy weh out there is always goin be there..a dime a dozen..u dam dutty b*t*ch...ole' S*l*t..u must be some likle tramp.

Posted by: Monique Lester on October 31, 2006 07:00 PM

I am sorry to hear about this tragic news and my heart goes out to the family, but some of the comments on here is a little out of control. Why would you ban a song and a dance? Come on now be real some people just do that dance too wild jumping on the speakers swinging off the trees I mean it don't take all that and they hurt themselves. Trust me I know because when it first came out I pull a muscle in my neck but I learn how to do it where it is not going to hurt me I do it for a few seconds and then I stop but I am not going to tell no one to ban the song because that was my carelessness when I pull a muscle. My husband is a Selector and when he put that song on those females get wild and they are actually running over each other to see who can do it best. So it all depends how wild the person is. And in the article it said she had a cut on her head so I am guessing she must of hit her head on something. Anyway I just think if you are going to do that dance you don't have to swing your head so hard and so many times, Just be careful.

EVERBODY CAAN DANCE BUT AN NUH EVERYBODY A DANCER.....sorry to hear but hello people like Diamond sey "Dutty Wine is not a neck dance" is fi when yuh have long hair a it yuh suppose to a wheel roun nuh yuh neck. So everybody out deh who a try soh hard fi dutty wine gwaan cause nuff more neck a goh bruk. Why blame Matterhorn did man song is fine it all a bout dancing an really look at the word of the song it not even so much bout di dance but di man a sing bout having sex. How much dj out deh sing bout gun and people dead by di gun daily. But a nuh nutten dat right. Like mi sey EVERBODY CAAN DANCE BUT AN NUH EVERYBODY A DANCER


Posted by: Sexyb on October 31, 2006 10:23 PM

I think all the individual here who agrees that the dutty wine is what is the cause behind Taniesha's death is no different from the media. I have just proven that we Jamaican's really sit and listen to propogandas, and sit and slander wi brothers and sisters. Hello its "NEW". Which news you ever hear true it must near so but no so until them have proof. Look how many time the media normally have to apologise to victims who them report wrong info of. Come on. Yes we are sorry for what happen to her but her mother states "the doctor say that a it probably kill har cause she have one cut pon are head" now people she a wheel har damn head how the hell she cut it. How do we know she wasn't drinking and maybe the hackling from the dancing (dutty wine and others) trigger something. Logics: we can't blame the dance nor the dj, we have no prove. it is not dutty wine and a say yard flex change your headline to "dutty wine alledge to be the cause of Taniesha's Death". the dance is innocent until proven guilty. Matteron sing his song you decide if you wish to do it, we are all face with choices and this is taniesha's consequence from wheeling her blasted head so hard, (if its the dance that cause she fi dead). Furthermore look at those who wheeling them hands off them body for Beenie man's "Swing it away". eeh yuh can talk. left the people mek them mek them likkle chupense and bread fi put pon them table. Remember the ball is in your court are you going to play or not its all about choice. so "NO BAN FI DUTTY WINE".


Posted by: Kathy on October 31, 2006 10:41 PM

I think that this was a very sad thing because alot of people don't realize that when u rotate your neck so fast and continuously u will get dissy and bad consequences may come behind that. I'm so sorry that she died and I really hope that people stop taking this death into consideration and really stop doing this damn dance cause its really dangerous. But let the Lord Bless her Beautiful Soul and may she Rest In Peace.

Posted by: jahbre on November 1, 2006 10:21 AM

I am truly sorry about Tanisha's death but I never did understand why the ladies have to swing their heads if the song say dutty wine my girl dutty wine. As from now on whenever you hear the song ladies just jump pon a man and give him some seious wine.
Condolence to the family

Posted by: Melissa on November 1, 2006 11:59 AM

It sad to hear that such a young person has been taken away from this all because of this stupid dance encouraged by matterhorn and other selectors at sessions. I really hope persons who are fans of this dance will take what has happened today into consideration as it will happen to others who choose to act like COMPLETE IDIOTS JUST TO GET SOME ATTENTION.


Posted by: Noisy Noisy on November 1, 2006 12:04 PM

We will miss her and I feel deeply for the family. But I think the article and others like it are very erroneous! Hey, people take risks with every dance style from breaking dancing days till now. Dancers understand and accept the challenge to make a statement in the dance, yuh haffi a go haaard.We must also remember that she had a cut on her forehead, which implies that she made contact, the Dutty Wine is not a "contact" dance. We will continue to Dutty Wine and any other fad that releases the stress, but with more caution. After all, it is one of the few songs that allows us women to take back control of the dancefloor from the "man" dem. No seh nutten'!!! Bukam


Posted by: sweetest_lil_thing_1 on November 1, 2006 01:58 PM

Condolence to the family ...I can onlt imagine what the family is going thru right now... but for some reason I know this dance was not good for the neck and the head in a hole , I tried it before and said to my self I would never do it again ... the dance leave you with a head ache ...my advice to anyone doing this dance is to becareful and don't just do it for the attention ....love you all and peace


Posted by: Nicky on November 1, 2006 03:18 PM

Hey DEPORTEE a muss'n yu mouth mek dem deport yu. Not all j'can dances are stupid, back in the days I enjoyed della move, bogle and world dance etc. While I must say dance these days are getting a bit outrageous, there are some I used to love.

Posted by: Nardo Ranks on November 1, 2006 06:10 PM

Condolences go out to the family of Tanisha henry....but one cannot blame Tony Matterhorn for her death...after all you dutty wine at ur own risk....


Posted by: rica on November 1, 2006 07:20 PM

First I must say sorry to the family of this 18 years old female, may her soul rest in peace. Second I will wheather Matterhorn stole, thief, borrow the lyrics, he did not ever say you must dance and kill of your self. This world was made for the people and people were made for the world. so whoever can dance must dance who can sing will sing, who can talk let them talk, who can run let them run, who can jump let them jump. I am pretty sure that cute young lady did not believe she would be killed by dutty wine or jumping, and again were are not sure of cause of death. it is not impossible, but the choice is your two road choose one, do the dance or watch it yes it try itmyself by where in my living room, bedroom, and no one has ever see me do it in public why because it is very difficult, furthermore I beleive I can only do it my way. I love Mattherhorn he is full of enery and keep the dance hall happy. I believe you keep the jamican society busy with songs, dance, moves, just more enertainment less killing. JAMAICAN IS KNOW FOR THE BEST ENTERTAINING COUNTRY WORLDWIDE YES IT IS NO QUESTION ASK. I will be there for Christmas by then a new dance will come out for sure. Until then take the the caution in all dance God Bless Yardflex everytime.


Posted by: kaye on November 1, 2006 07:44 PM

mi sorry fi hear bout Tanisha still but it stupid how people waa blame Tony. everyting all good and di dance sell off but as soon as sumbady dead di man a get fire bun. right now him neva tell nobady fi dutty wine an nuttn ina di song no seh "bruk u neck my girl bruk u neck" so if ten more people waa go bruk dem neck a fi dem problem dat. sound hartless but a di real deal, love mi or hate mi real all day everyday... so if a artist sing a song weh seh jump off a clif a guess every girl a go jump off a cliff? come on people be real...


Posted by: Max on November 1, 2006 08:34 PM

I'm sorry but I don't share the view of some other people who are saying that is the "dutty Whine" dance that killed the girl, maybe she had other ailments that actually killed her.


Posted by: James Mhone on November 2, 2006 03:59 AM

its so sad to hear something like that concening a very young artist like Tanish.who shall support the world if young artist are going like that. Oh Lord let her soul rest in peace and put your hand on her family .... Mr Means

Posted by: C.A. on November 2, 2006 03:07 PM

It's sad that we've lost yet another valuable resource of our country to such a ridiculous and tasteless dance. The name alone is disgusting. I think this dance should be banned or something. Why? Well obviously we cannot depend on people's common sense...i mean it's not the first time we've heard of serious injuries resulting from this dance. It's like touching a live wire, having it shock you, and then touching it again, just for the fun of it. This dance, like a contagious disease, needs to be eradicated before it takes another life.


Posted by: BUM BAM BAM GIRL! on November 2, 2006 05:16 PM

"dutty wine is a lusty celebration and conformation of our dutty sex culture.The wine of the dance, mostly done by poor girls in search of a moment of recognition, is a choreographing of which gal can give the wickedest slam. It encodes the values and attitudes of a dutty wine culture. Most of us, are the incidental results of the original dutty wine culture. Jamaicans are predominantly beginning their mating lives in visiting relationships with sequential and often concurrent partners, with children a casual by-product and casualties of the free-for-all sex culture. By the time most people settle into fairly stable common law unions in mid-life, there has been a string of children with multiple partners, ready to repeat the deadly cycle. The absentee baby father, off on his nest breeding assignment is a folklorish Jamaican character like Brer Anancy or Rolling Calf. It's just the way things are, and, perhaps, were meant to be." THIS IS AN EXCERPT THAT I SAW IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THE JAMAICA GLEANER ON NOVEMBER 2,2006. THE WRITER OF THE ARTICLE, MARTIN HENRY WAS COMMENTING ON THE RECENT DEATH OF THE YOUNG LADY. I THOUGHT THE ARTICLE WAS WELL WRITTEN AND WELL SAID. FACE IT PEOPLE, THIS IS THE CURRENT STATE OF JAMAICA. WAKE UP PEOPLE! WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR CULTURE?


Posted by: cassandra barrett on November 2, 2006 07:47 PM

so live and learn people jamaica wise
