At the height of his popularity during the 1970s, Augustus Pablo opened Rockers, a record store located on Orange Street in Kingston. It became a hangout for roots artistes and musicians.

Pablo, a musician/producer known for songs like Java and East of The River Nile, died in May 1999 at age 44. The Rockers store slowly went into decline, but in February, his children Isis and Addis, reopened a renovated facility.

The interior has been redesigned with Pablo and his legacy being the focal points. There is also memorabilia of his contemporaries, as well as an updated Rockers International sound system and a television display of the company’s achievements.
