Beenie Man, Jesse Jackson and Salman Khan for UNC Closing Rally!
Port Of Spain, Trinidad: Nov 2, 2007 Jamaican dancehall artiste Beenie Man and his band the Ruff Cut Crew are scheduled to perform at the United National Congress Alliance's closing rally on Saturday at the Aranjuez Savannah. The event, dubbed "Dance of the Revolution", also features Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and the number one Bollywood dance troupe from India, while US civil right activist Rev Jesse Jackson is carded to deliver the feature address. Only last week, a Jamaican magistrate issued a warrant for the immediate arrest of the Beenie Man, after he failed to appear in the Civil Division of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court. The DJ, whose real name is Moses Davis, was booked to appear before RM Parkins to answer to charges of tax evasion, due to his alleged failure to pay his income tax. He reportedly owes the Jamaican government $29.29 million in back taxes and $18.64 million in penalties, bringing the outstanding amount to $47.93 million. When the Express asked UNC-A co-leader Jack Warner whether Beenie Man was able to leave the Jamaica, he said: "As far as I am aware, he is able to leave or else we would not be bringing him." He then went on to describe the rally as, "The mother of all rallies". Salman Khan is a popular Indian film actor who appears in Bollywood movies. Khan, who made his acting debut with the film Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988), had his first commercial success with the blockbuster Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), and won a Filmfare Best Debut Award for his performance. During his career years, he was the leading actor in some of Bollywood's biggest hits, such as Saajan (1991), Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), Biwi No.1 (1999) and No Entry (2005). Some of the local artistes billed to perform are Maximus Dan, Denise "Saucy Wow" Belfon, Soca Elvis and the CLICO Shiv Shakti dancers.
