106 & Park host, Keshia Chanté joins JAMBANA™ One World Festival as one
of its’ star performers, and will also perform a special duet with reigning Canadian
Reggae King, Exco Levi over the August 2nd and 3rd
weekend.
Achieving international recognition with her hit songs “Bad
Boy,” “Does He Love Me” and “2U” and “Been Gone,” Keshia is one of the most
visible success stories from Canada, which was complemented by her tenure as
co-host on the BET hit show, 106 & Park, alongside Bow Wow. Since the end of the show, Keshia has been in
the studio working on her next album, and filming for the 2nd season
of W Network’s docu-series “Hockey Wives.”
Keshia will make her debut in the series starting this fall.
Anticipating taking the stage at JAMBANA™ One World Festival, Keshia
said “I am really excited to be performing at JAMBANA. There is nothing like performing for my fans
here at home – I can’t wait, and performing with Exco Levi is a definite
highlight!”
Exco Levi, Canada’s consecutive four-time JUNO Award winning
musician will share the stage with Keshia for a special duet. Both artists are tight lipped about what
songs will be performed, but Exco dropped a hint about one song saying “it’s a
classic that the fans will make us pull up at least twice. It was first recorded in 1977, and is still
hot today. Keshia and I are going to
‘Jam’ it for the fans at JAMBANA™
One World Festival. It’s gonna be
great!”
