Music Video: Don Drummond’s “Don De Lion“ performed by the Alpha Institute Band

Alpha Institute music students led by musical director and Alpha music instructor Andres Lopez offer a new audio and visual take on the Don Drummond classic! Creatively designed by the students themselves, the Don De Lion music video was filmed on location at Alpha Institute (formerly Alpha Boys School) and allowed students to explore Jamaica’s musical history and that of one of Alpha’s most acclaimed graduates.
