A key figure in the development of South Florida’s live reggae scene, Winston Dias was lauded by colleagues on June 20, 2026, for his contribution during an event at Carib Island Restaurant in Lauderhill.

Fittingly, the show took place in that city, popularly known as “Jamaica Hill” because of its large Jamaican community.

Dias was presented with a citation and plaque from Broward County Commissioner Hazelle P Rogers and longtime friend, Audley Rollen.
