Set to be held on Sunday May 26th, 2019 organizers have put together a historic line up paying tribute to 90s dancehall.

“Every year we look to celebrate Caribbean music and this year is no different. We decided to carve out an era, which so many of us love and reminisce on all the time. This era was ground breaking for dancehall and reggae music in many ways and that is the 90s era. We had some of our biggest artist in dancehall during the 90s era many of them still reign today. Therefore, we decided to pay homage to 90s dancehall, with some of the hit makers of them time. Not to mention for the first time in America The Emperor Shabba Ranks and Don DaDa Super Cat will be sharing the same stage in the United States” says Steve ‘Jabba’ Beckford co-promoter of Best of the Best.


As one of the premier concerts for dancehall and reggae music outside of Jamaica, and celebrating their 13th anniversary, on Monday March 25th Best of the Best Music Concert made their first artist line up announcement. The lineup reflects a 90s theme with some of the newest sensation in dancehall like Noah Powa who had a stellar 2018. Noah Powa, who for many is known as a selector has embarked on a musical career, which is garnering a new fanbase with his relatable hits like, ‘Keep the Same Energy’, ‘Feel it’ and his recent collaboration with Grammy Award winner Shaggy ‘Money Up’.  Performing on the Best of the Best stage as an artist for the first time Noah Powa is definitely pleased with his career and acknowledgement by the promoters and fans. “I have received a tremendous outpour of love and excitement from my fans since the announcement, and persons are messaging me letting me know they are looking forward to see my performance. It’s a great feeling to know the work is finally paying off and I will be one of the acts on this mega stage show” says Noah Powa.

Confirmed are Shabba Ranks, Super Cat, Bushman, Frisco Kid, General Degree, General B and Round Head, all artist have mega hits and anthems from the 90s, which brings forth an enjoyable recollection of the past when their songs are played or performed. The rareness of having all these acts on one concert bill, is something many fans are excited about and looking forward to. “I recall living in Jamaica during the 90s and the stage show vibes were always so energetic and full of entertainment. An artist like Frisco Kid, who is still one of my favorite artist from that era, had so many hits from he enter the stage, I am looking forward to this show. Not to mention the Emperor and the Don DaDa Supercat on the same stage, history” says Alecia McKintosh of Tampa, Florida.   

 “Also a remarkable year for Soca music we had to book one of the three (3) road march winners of this year’s Trinidad carnival, Skinny Fabulous out of St Vincent, with the big bad song Famalaay” says Steven ‘Jabba’ Beckford.

With another artist lineup slated for late April, Best of the Best promoters are pleased with the initial response to their announcement.  “For the past few months the Best of the Best office has received numerous emails and messages from patrons, many of whom purchased their early bird tickets without even knowing the lineup.

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 31st 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
