Disya Jeneration Sound System
Originally known as 'This Generation' this crew has been around since the mid-1980s. The sound system played at their first carnival in 1985 and is the brainchild of veteran operator Michael (aka Tempz). The name Disya Jeneration is inspired by Bob Marley’s lyrics in ‘Redemption Song’ – “we forward inna this (disya) generation – triumphantly”, which reflects the importance that this crew gives to Notting Hill Carnival’s history and culture. This sound system can also boast having one of the first female selector DJs (Linett Kamala aka Thunderbird) to play at the Carnival.
