“Breakin'” Star Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quiñones Laid To Rest

The pop-locker turned Hip-Hop icon Shabba-Doo transitioned to the glory a couple of weeks back on December 30th. He was 65.

Due to the global pandemic prompted by the COVID-19 virus, his actual homegoing service was held in a hybrid ceremony (in-person and online) 17 days after his death.

Known for his outstanding role as “Ozone” in the hit 1984 movie “Breakin,” Adolfo Quiñones (his real name) had a memorial service at a Los Angeles church where only his two children and siblings were able to attend.

In addition to the live funeral service, there was another link where family members, friends, associates, and also fans left messages (video, photos, and tributes) to the masterful dancer and outstanding influencer of the Hip-Hop performing arts.

One of the last messages that Shabba-Doo posted on social media said the following:
