CARIBBEAN FEVER IRIE JAMBOREE BRINGS MARLEY MAGIC TO NEW YORK !

Caribbean Fever Irie Jamboree Music Festival is North America's largest music festival featuring music from multiple genres exclusively from the Caribbean region. The festival will showcase a kaleidoscope of Caribbean musical luminaries headlined by reggae's current hottest performer, musical magician Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley.  
This explosive new musical celebration combines two previous hit concerts- Irie Jamboree and Caribbean Fever. The three day event takes place at the ultra luxurious Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City August 30 to September 1 over the Labor Day Caribbean Carnival weekend.

The first night, August 30 shines the spotlight on Creole French music and will feature the internationally acclaimed zouk band Kassav from Guadeloupe and Martinique alongside Haitian hip hop star Wyclef Jean. Tabou Combo will also play on Friday, as will other stars from the Caribbean Francophone world.

On night two, 'Carnival Mania,' Saturday August 31, the soca sensations will sizzle. On the front burner will be Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons, Edwin Yearwood, Alison Hinds and Iwer George.

Night three Sunday, September 1, 'Irie Jamboree' will be headlined by the newly crowned monarch of reggae Jr. Gong Marley in his first New York City post coronation performance. Irie Jamboree will be mystifying Marley magic as the new king welcomes New Yorkers to Jamrock. Other superstars on reggae Sunday night are Grammy winner Shabba Ranks, hit machines Capleton and I-Octane with more reggae acts to be announced before blastoff.

Outlook Music Festival 2013 - Pula, Croatia





 
Broadening Outlook Festival’s musical exploration for 2013, the festival is thrilled to announce an exclusive warm up concert confirmed to take place in the incredible location of a Roman amphitheatre in the historic city of Pula, Croatia. Around 2000 years old and one of the six largest Roman amphitheatres in the world, the remarkable venue will showcase a performance from The Original Wailers plus more artists to be announced in what is guaranteed to be an exceptional evening of entertainment. 


Bringing together a selection of artists they felt would fit seamlessly within the ancient walls of this unique and beautiful setting, Outlook Festival continues to explore the breadth of sound system culture by inviting reggae pioneers The Original Wailers to perform music from their legendary record ‘Exodus’ as well as some of their other best loved hits. The festival has always shown great respect to the heritage of sound system music having previously showcased musical heroes such as Horace Andy, Max Romeo, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and many more over the years. The Original Wailers, the band who supported reggae innovator Bob Marley are the perfect fit for a venue of this magnitude.
With a selection of the festival’s DJs confirmed to provide the soundtrack between live acts and further additions still to be made, Outlook Festival is excited to share what will be a memorable evening of music in a truly remarkable setting. Outlook has worked in partnership with the city of Pula to present the evening of musical exploration and the event will be open to festival goers and the general public alike, priced at the very reasonable €16 (+ BF). Outlook decided to keep the ticket price as low as possible in order to encourage as many festival goers and Pula locals to enjoy an amazing concert at such a historical venue. Information on transport between the festival campsite and the arena will be coming soon.

Cen'C Love ft. Capleton - Stand Firm!


Since the introduction of Cen'C Love's music, DJ's, critics and journalists agree that there is no disputing the beauty of her voice, and the depth of her lyrics.

Her unique fuse of Jazz and Reggae was demonstrated in her hit single "Casanova," which put her in an elite class all her own.  DJ's were smitten by this artists voice which led to considerable airplay, as well as numerous performances in the US, Europe and Jamaica.

Today, Cen'C Love releases her newest single, "Stand Firm" which features Capleton.  Produced by Cen'C, Carl 'One Blood' Thomas and Sheldon 'CalliBud' Stewart for Cen'C's label Lyvestone Music, the song acts as a call to all people's who are going through hardships, and the call says 'stand firm.'

Navigating the sometimes rocky road of life, people need encouragement and motivation, as well as need to hear that their fate and destiny rests in their own hands.  That theme is delivered by Cen'C through the following lyrics:

"when it's said and done / you can't put the blame on anyone / it's your chance to take / your memory to make / you never really lose / stand firm through any storm / through any fire ooooh..."

Musically, the composition bears cross over appeal.  Reggae in roots, with a hint of jazz, fans will enjoy horns from the horn King himself, Mr. Dean Fraser.  The song was recorded at the
legendary Tuff Gong studios and features the industries finest musicians!
