I've been following that story, at first I thought the owner of the home (and also "cookshop") was Bob Marley's former cook Gilly, but definitely not, this Jamaican's name is Dilly. We have quite a bit of places in NY like what his home sounds like, definitely not any kind of "dancehall" scene, just great old time Jamaican music, good food, backyard set up nice, not a "young" group coming, mostly older people coming for some nice music and food. Definitely nothing to do with "gang" type of activities. FLAGS are often used, I'm wondering if this is a kind of play-off on one of the murdered name of "Radigan" -- I know this particular article says he was referred to as "Rodigan" but I don't think so, I'm pretty sure his name was "Radigan".
Most of you know of David Rodigan, the U.K. radio personality and sound system man. Let me tell you, here in NY, CT, NJ, RI & MA, when there is a Rodigan dance Jamaicans who never hardly ever go out turn out in big numbers, many carrying U.K. flags to hold up and wave when they are dancing to his very cultural musical selection.
