Beenie Man at Reggae in the Valley 2009

Jamaica Max — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:31:51 +0000

Beenie Man performed at the Reggae in the valley show which was held at the Appleton Rum factory with a star studded lineup that ended up performing until after the sun rose on the new day. Everyone waited for the King of Dancehall and it was well worth it for the crowd which got a full blast of the dance hall artists live show at its best.

Rootz Underground for Soul Rebellion 2009

Alfred Moya — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:59:38 +0000

Rootz Underground played the Soul Rebellion 2009 charity concert on March 24 at The Jungle in Negril Jamaica to benefit schools in Westmoreland Parish as part of the Soul Rebellion Buy A Brick program for school construction.

Soul Rebellion is gaining some respect after three solid years of successful charity reggae concerts and this year BET was there to record the event as part of a special they are doing to showcase the great work done by this charity group of primarily foreign citizens.

The evening concert was held after a day of celebrations and fund raising on the beach. The Tuesday Night concert was a success and Rootz Underground put on a spirited and energetic performance with over an hour of high grade reggae and roots inspired music.

Rootz Underground is originally from Kingston Jamaica but they spend lots of time in America these days. It was a bit of a homecoming for the band since their performance at Reggae Sumfest 2008 and hard through the entire performance.

Bounty Killer at Soul Rebellion 2009 in Negril Jamaica

Jamaica Max — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:17:46 +0000

Bounty Killer performed at The Jungle Nightclub in Negril Jamaica for Soul Rebellion 2009. Bounty played a laid back set of his many dancehall hits and kept things cool for the up close and personal show. Bounty has been around for a long time and he seemed very comfortable on stage performing for a mixed crowd of local Jamaicans and American Spring Breakers who danced to the familiar beats even if they could not understand everything being said.

Oniel Green — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 08:24:50 +0000

Here we have Craig T from Touch of Klass or T.O.K. as they are commonly referred to. The group consists of Alistaire "Alex" McCalla, Roshaun "Bay-C" Clarke, Craig "Craig T" Thompson, and Xavier "Flexx" Davidson. They are one of the most successful groups in dancehall history and very popular on an international level.

This show was done for Spring break 2009 at The Jungle Nightclub and Sports Bar and the crowd had a wicked good time. You'll see from the pics and videos that the Spring Breakers were into the music and all over the stage for what turned out to be a great show.

On stage with Beenie Man “The King of Dancehall” in Whitehouse Jamaica

Ras Slick — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 08:15:48 +0000

I had the unique opportunity to stand on stage with Beenie Man during his entire show in rural Whitehouse Jamaica and it easily one of the most energetic reggae dancehall concerts I have been to in Jamaica. "The Doctor" as he is known to his fans is a Jamaican dancehall icon and when Beenie Man puts on a show he puts on a show. The over capacity crowd was gathered on a cricket field and there were at least 1500 to 2000 people in attendance in rural Jamaica where they don't get many major headline acts to put on a show.

The people of Whitehouse Jamaica came out in force and the place was jamming all night long. Beenie belted out his top dancehall hits of the past 15 years and the crowd sucked up every second of it they could. The show was non stop and Jamaicans partied it up for hours with the King of Dancehall as he strutted from one side of that small stage to the other.

Things were so informal that just about anyone ended up on stage after long and at one point there was an actual fight on stage that Beenie Man himself had to breakup. It was hot and the crowd was pumped up. I guess tempers flared but Beenie put things to rest fast and the party went on without a hitch.

It was a show to remember for me and the people of Whitehouse.

Beenie Man on stage at Negril Escape

Oniel Green — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 08:11:01 +0000

Beenie Man is probably the hardest working man in Jamaica and I have no doubt he puts on more shows in Jamaica than any other artist. I had the unique opportunity to see Beenie Man perform two shows in one week when he did the Sunset Show at Negril Escape just two days after I saw him perform the Whitehouse show in rural Jamaica.

This show was more for tourists than locals and you could actually feel the difference between the two sets. Both shows were high energy and well worth the trip but things felt a bit more relaxed at the Negril Escape show where "The King of Dancehall" would perform for a "whiter" crowd.

King Beenie was having fun and he took the time to spread some love for Barack Obama and the state of polittrix in the world. Beenie went as far as to claim that Obama was now the greatest black man to have lived in his life when he became the President of the United States. It was a powerful moment and I was proud to have been there when Beenie gave his blessings to the new leader of the free world.

Bunny Wailer at Smile Jamaica Africa Unite 2008

Ras Slick — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 05:47:30 +0000

Bunny Wailer is a living legend and founding father of reggae music. He's been in the music business for as long as many of his fans have been alive and he put on a show like you could not believe. As sole surviving Wailer and reggae roots legend this man has done his fair share of reggae shows and this was a great concert for Bunny Wailer.

Bunny ran through a list of his power songs and some of reggae musics biggest hits in an energy packed set that just screamed raw fire. Bunny is almost as old as dirt but he kicked it across the stage like a teenage boy strutting his new suit and he was having fun for sure. The Smile Jamaica Africa Unite Concerts are in tribute to an old friend of Mr Wailer and Bunny paid his respect to Bob and Marley Clan during his set.

Etana the Strong One at Sav Impact 2009

Elise Moya — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 07:26:31 +0000

It was a New Years Show to remember with Etana The Strong One giving us a powerful performance in Sav La Mar Jamaica for the 2009 Sav Impact reggae festival on January 1, 2009. The first annual event had a strong turnout and everyone was excited about the lineup of feature artists on stage.

Etana is having an incredible year with Record of The Year and Female Artist of 2008 as her claimed titles. Etana has a silky sultry voice with thought provoking lyrics that empower us women and female fans from around the world.

Etana has a roots reggae culture with meaning and feelings in her music and those emotions come out on stage when she performs. Her stage show and prescience are felt in any arena and when Etana hits the stage you knows its going to be a good time.

Tarrus Riley performs at Negril Escape Sunset Show

Ras Slick — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 07:27:42 +0000

Tarrus Riley is having a great year as the Top Reggae Artist of 2008 and this show was a great way to end it. Tarrus performed for the Sunset Show at Negril Escape in front of a small crowd of mostly friends and local neighbors from Negril and the West End and guests of the all inclusive seaside resort.

Tarrus has had great success with his new album "Parables" and the crowd was excited to get a sampling of his top hits including "Lions Paw" and of course "She's Royal". The show got a late start but things picked up once Tarrus and his Gumption Band hit the stage after midnight. The long set change was worth the wait when you hear Tarrus with his own backing band and the many talents of his stage manager and saxophone great Dean Fraser.

Riley and Fraser had a lot of fun with the band and the crowd and they entertained us with a musical showdown where Fraser would copy Rileys vocals with his saxophone. Tarrus had a lot of fun and was a most gracious entertainer. He took time to meet and greet with most of the crowd and shook hands with just about everyone. He posed for at least a dozen photographs and everyone was glad to have met him and the rest of the Gumption Band.
