Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange has led tributes to disc jockey and music producer Arif Cooper following his death on Sunday.
Cooper died suddenly while playing at a party early in the morning at the Police Officers Club in St Andrew.
In a statement, Grange said she is “deeply saddened” by Cooper’s passing.
“It is so sad that another of our outstanding personalities in the music industry has left us suddenly and at such a relatively young age,” the minister said.
We saw Arif following his famous father, Michael ‘Ibo’ Cooper, a founder of Third World Band, into music and making his own name here in Jamaica and on the international scene where he entertained audiences in a number of United States cities and in Japan.
“Arif’s versatility was one of the huge features of the man and was greatly admired by his colleagues in the music industry, especially those whose careers benefitted from his talent, and by his fans. He will be sorely missed,” Grange said.
