Irie Jamboree to Make History at Barclays Center!

 

 

Not since the days of Buju Banton selling out Madison Square Gardens (2007), or Shabba (now Emperor Shabba) winning back to back Grammy's (1992 – As Raw as Ever and 1993 – X-tra Naked) has the Caribbean community seen history unfold before their eyes as what we are about to see August 30th to September 1st!

Irie Jamboree is set to make history at the Barclays centre for the first ever all Caribbean music festival starring Wyclef Jean (Friday), Bunji Garlin (Saturday), Emperor Shabba and Damian Jr. Gong (Sunday). The center literally comes alive with the best talent representing the Caribbean.

Produced by Caribbean Fever and Irie Jam Radio Group, the two organizations demonstrate unity by co-producing this landmark event. At their press conference in Brooklyn, and blocks away from the Barclays Center, Dahved Levy says producers want to make and have "an impressive Caribbean presence" while Bobby Clarke adds that this is "a good look for the community." 

Promoting the event from Florida to Canada and Haiti, patrons will receive 3 days of the best. Blondine Reid organized the Haitian night aka International Night, and selected legendary Zouk band Kassav, one of the top Zouk bands from Martinique as one of the headlining acts to join Wyclef for International Night. The band also did an extensive radio tour in Haiti to support their appearance. The tour was well received and connected with the Haitian community in New York who expected to attend in large numbers. 

Senator Kevin Parker, who represents the largest Caribbean constituency in New York was on hand to congratulate organizers on the upcoming show. The Senator admired ladies dressed in traditional Carnival costumes that reflect the homeland of Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons who come from Trinidad & Tobago.  Marking the second day of festivities the husband and wife duo will be joined by Alison Hinds, Iwer George, Edwin Yearwood and more for the August 31^st show. 

As well, the Emperor himself was on hand to let fans know they are in for one if the best showcases of talent. Absent from the press conference was Damian Marley, but, through the events PR rep Anthony Turner, made it clear he is performing because of Shabba, one if his artistic idols. Lady Saw has also been confirmed (last minute) and this will mark her last performance as a Dancehall artist as she transitions to a career in Gospel.

Tickets range in price from $60 to $130 and are available at www.ticketmaster.com.
