Ras Michael OD!

Dit jaar was die eer onder andere weggelegd voor producers Donovan Germain en Winston 'Niney' Holnes, muzikant en componist Harold Butler en Reggae Sunsplash organisator Ronnie Burke, maar ook Ras Michael, nyahbinghi pionier en reggaemuzikant is nu Officer in the Order of Distinction. Zelf had Ras Michael daar nog het volgende op te zeggen: "When you look at man like we - Rasta, who come from Back-O-Wall and suffered through abuse, yet still we could lay a foundation that today we can receive - it is a great thing. The youth of today must recognise the sacrifice we make to take the culture in the right and proper way to the world!"
