Dancehall Selector/Artiste Tony Matterhorn Dutty Wine Banned
By: Secret Agent
YardFlex Reporter
 There seems to be no end in sight for the robust debates surrounding both the "Dutty Wine" song and the dance from which the tune was made.
YardFlex.com understands that the Government of the British Virgin Islands has banned a ''Dutty Wine'' show which should have featured the smooth talking selector-turned-deejay/performer Tony Matterhorn.
The show was scheduled for this weekend, but reports out of the country say the Chief Minister Dr. Orlando Smith, said the many complaints about the event forced their hand, and caused them to shut it down.
Local Radio reports indicate that the Government has been swamped with several phone calls because they allowed the show there in the first place.
According to the reports, they have been "inundated" with calls from "concerned citizens" who they describe as both young and old.
Reports are that Dr. Smith said the government would not allow the weekend performance of that show and that decision came after meetings between the promoters and the Chief Minister's Office.
According to Dr. Smith, the government required application process to hold the show was incomplete and he was also concerned about the life-threatening consequences associated with this dance. As a result the decision was made to ban the show.
Ironically, the Tony Matterhorn tune which launched the controversial dance move into the spotlight is known as a big hit in that country. Similarly, the opposition to the tune and the dance itself seems just as powerful, especially among the conservative church community.
Expectedly, residents there are not pleased, while others are calling it a victory.
On the local website bviplatinum.com, several vented their disgust at what they perceive as the Government's decision to prevent them from enjoying their God given right to attend any event they choose.
"Tell the churches get their act together before judging others! Nobody said it was mandatory to attend the show this weekend. If you don't like it, STAY THE HELL HOME!" quips one blogger.
Another declares:
"Here is the story about the death allegedly caused by the Dutty Wine. I say ban this filth! The priests are here to protect us and they always know best."
Time alone will tell what is to become of this now heated debate. It ties into the point of view that some aspects of Jamaican culture are just too loud and expressive for others.

my comment is I don't think that what they did by banning dutty wine i don't think it is fair for the artist because it is not his fault make those youngster lost their life. I saw the video
and I saw how the dancer dance to the song and the movement,I saw people dancing the song, they are doing crazy movement which is not part of the move in the song. if they calm them self down and dance the way the moves are and stop trying to do they own thing then all these incident would not be happening.

This is stupid for the government to band a show. The citizens of the country have a right to attend or not it's there choice what ever happened to democracy and the freedom of choice. Who wants to go on their head and dutty wine are responsible for there actions Tony Matterhorn don't demand or command its by choice we're adults here and its our choice to attend an event and participate if we choose to. The government needs to pay more attention to other pressing issues at hand. Dutty wine my gal dutty wine!!

too bad for the authorities in BVI, but at the end of the day it's thier country and they have the final say as to whats takes place there..... I personally have nothing against dutty wine..thats why when we in jamaica don't want any gays here others should not have any problem it's our country and our culture

who don't like the dutty wine or the song, Stay home and shut up. simple, these people that go to church feels that everytime they say something everybody should listen, nobody want to hear there stupid songs, nobody is in their busniess, how they think they are, alot of them are gays and lesbians, leave straight people alone.

browngal,
sounds like you had a some haterade with your meals today..hahahahahahaha..
people have a choice.......he is not telling anyone to do the dance.
you could stand by and enjoy the show or you could participate...
dutty wine is not the only tune that will be played at a Mattheron concert or selecting session. No one will be doing the dance all night, he is a selector b4 he turned DJ. he does not have a slew of hits to keep a concert so therefore other dancehall artiste will get played also....
STOP FIGHT INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS...... GO WINE ON YOUR MAN WOOD HEAD.....HAHAHAHA... ENJOY MI GAL...

I don't understand why they banned the show in the first place. The song is not banned from the club and is not banned from the radio station.They need to stop blaming Tony for people death because he don't hold a gun to they head and tell them to do the dance.

The fallout in the BVI about dutty wine goes deeper, it reflects the recent rise in crime attributed to the JAMS. The decline of the moral fiber in the BVI and the silence of leaders within the JAM community.
There is a general feeling within the BVI that Jamaicans should be banned from entering and there is currently a movement in that direction.
Well it seems like dancehall artiste can't perform outside of Jamaica anymore. It doesn't seem like an attack on the specific song, but one on the dancehall industry itself. It's dangerous--then again so is swimming--If you can't swim stay out of the pool. Give the man a break; people have every right to attend whichever event they want.
