Father-daughter relationship – Rebels salute in unison

Annually, the Rebel Salute concert pulls thousands of people to Port Kaiser Sports Complex, St Elizabeth, for a deluge of not only music but the spirit of camaraderie and goodwill which is created at what is one of the very few truly family marathon concert events.

The 2010 staging is on Saturday, January 16. Tony Rebel, Tarrus Riley, Queen Ifrica, Singing Melody, Fyakin and many more will perform.

It is run by a family through Flames Productions, created by deejay Tony Rebel. Now, happily, for someone who would much rather be performing than organising on the night of the event, Tony Rebel has handed over most of the Rebel Salute organising duties to his daughters, Kenya and Jahyudah.

Very nice. Love this! This is the way it should be. Makes me wonder where are Dennis Brown’s children after he laid such a great foundation!

Thanx!!

I like that. Hopefully, I can built something for my kids to take over when they get to that age. Awesome Mr. Rebel. I have a darling daughter too, I know the love.

If you are now a father or a mother, what is the thing you want to do most? As now I became a mother, I suddenly understand why my father did those things for me.
When I was a little girl, my mother left us for some unknown reason and according to my analysis, I insisted on the result that my father did something wrong to my mother. So I just tried my best to fight with my father. Every day he came home from work late, but he would come to my room and give me a good night kiss. Sometimes I knew he just wanted to tell me something but I kept my eyes closed and pretended as I slept.
Every weekend he just tried his best to plan some exciting trips for me. But I always showed no interesting on them. And about four or five years later, one day he brought a woman home. And I realized that he might want to start a new family, so from that day, I refused to talk to him or eat anything. I even pinned the picture of Snow White’s stepmother on my door. I thought I did make my statement clearly and that woman dismissed from our life then.
I was a destroyer of my father’s life. When I went to high school, I began to stay outside over night. And I even took part in the parties like anti-parents. I just wanted to let him know one thing, I hate him. I did not know why I hate him, maybe just for my mother’s French leaving. I knew it was his fault, but I just did not know how to express my sadness. Then I did not know how to express my sorrow to my father.
