Montreal International Reggae Festival Closes the 2012 Season with a Sold Out Audience!

The 2012 Montreal International Reggae Festival season comes to an end on a high note, seeing a sold out audience pack the Old Port for 3 days of sweet Reggae and Dancehall from the Caribbean’s best artists.

Fans were given a variety of talent and themes to enjoy.  Night one, deemed Dancehall night, featured Cham and his Wife O.  Canada’s #1 DJ, DJ Poirier, who also hails from Montreal, rocked the crowd with a combination of musical selections from Shabba Ranks, General Degree and Busy Signal.  Joining the veteran DJ on stage was Juno Nominee Face-T who slick Dancehall delivery had the audience chanting for more, as did the fiery presentation and performance of Fire Lion who had patrons form the Usain Bolt pose during his performance. 

The official after party was enjoyed by Sound Clash diehards who backed EB Lounge to witness Rootsman from Toronto, Showtime from New York and hometown favorite Little Thunder battle each other for the favour of the crowd.  Toronto’s Rootsman Sound won the Clash taking all three rounds played.

Night two featured Konshens, whose chart topping singles “Gyal Ah Bubble,” “Ah So Mih Tan,” and “Good Girl Gone Bad” earned the screams and cheers from his adoring female fans, and fire salutes from the male fans in attendance.  Another crowd pleaser was Christopher Martin who had to wheel up his sizzling song “Cheaters Prayer” several times, and the newest Dancehall sensation, Popcaan worked the stage and the crowd into a frenzy.  Hotta Maestro also touched the crowd prior to Assassin who’s moving performance called for encore’s.

Night three, Reggae night, featured Romain Virgo and his soul moving song “Who Feels it Knows it” had the audience singing along with him.  Tarrus Riley, backed by Ruff Cut band gave fans so much of what they wanted to hear, tweets about Mr. Singy Singy were sent the moment he was announced to be at the venue to the end of his set.  Fans knew every word to every song, and acted as his backing choir when he performed “Stay With You” which was truly moving.

Froggy Madd Squad had the audience in festive spirits, opening for Jimmy Cliff!  His set include Reggae anthems that had lighters and flags in the air!  Remembering the milestone of Jamaica’s 50^th year of Independence from Great Britain, the Madd Squads leader included rare Festival music from his music library, impressing fans both mature and young!

Undoubtedly, Jimmy Cliff was the shining crescendo to an already perfect Festival.  Donned in his red green and gold scarf and leather suit, the legend and Order of Merit holder gave Montreal his heart and soul as he performed his hits that made him famous (“Many Rivers to Cross,” “Reggae Nights” and “Miss Jamaica”) as well as songs from his new album recently released.

Backed by his band, Jimmy reminded all of the years he’s put into the industry, and his undeniable role in shaping the path that others have followed.  He is truly a legend!

Look out for the Montreal International Reggae Festival 2013 where Eric Blagrove, the Festival’s producer, celebrates 10 years with surprises and feature presentations!

In the meantime, all updates will be posted at www.montrealreggaefest.com, or by following @MTLReggaeFest and @L3Magazine on Twitter!

Chris Martin and the 9th Annual Montreal Reggae Festival!

Exploding into the hearts of fans worldwide in 2005, Christopher Martin has consistently been playing on radio for the past 6 years, and now performs live for his fans in Montreal at the 9^th Annual Montreal International Reggae Festival!

Getting his start in 2005 by competing in the Digicel Rising Starts Competition, it didn’t take long for Jamaica to realize one of its hidden gems, and by extension, the world discovered too!  Working with producers such as Robert Livingston at Big Yard Music Group, Donovan Germaine at Penthouse Records and Shane C. Brown at Jukeboxx Productions, Chris’s work ethic helped to develop his lengthy and extensive catalog which is played by fans young and mature.

Successfully performing Reggae, Dancehall and Island Pop, Martin has racked up hits such as “Jamaican Girls,” “Take My Wings” and “Stay Faithful.”  With his 2012 international anthem “Cheaters Prayer” Martins fans want to sing the song with him which MIRF organizers have gladly coordinated!

For the 9^th Annual Montreal International Reggae Festival, Christopher Martin welcomes you to take in his performance at the Old Port.  How many thousands of ladies will be screaming for the young star?  Come out to see and hear for yourself!

Luciano Cancels Performance at Montreal's Reggae Festival

The Montreal International Reggae Festival (MIRF) is regrettably notifying all media and public that contrary to the previously distributed and advertised roster of performers for the Sunday, August 19, 2012 staging of the festival, Luciano, who was born, Jepther W. McClymont, will not be appearing. 

Luciano, known throughout the reggae music world as “The Messenger,” announced to MIRF, via his manager/wife Sonia Sterling, that he will be unable to fulfill his obligations which are clearly outlined in his contract with MIRF.

In her capacity as Luciano’s manager, his wife relayed the news to MIRF using text and e-mail messages; and she confirmed the cancellation, saying, “[Another agent] went ahead and booked a show … I had booked the Montreal show for Luciano first…[I am]waiting to sort it out.” Sterling, who liaised with MIRF in booking Luciano for this year’s performance sent a final message saying, “Spoke to Lucie… but he is going to do [the other show] since he will be in that area … I am really sorry.” She said the “double booking” occurred without her knowledge.

Despite the contract between Luciano and MIRF being finalized ahead of the other booking - with MIRF meeting all its contractual obligations, Luciano made the decision not to perform at MIRF in August, according to Sterling

CHRISTOPHER MARTIN AND GENTLEMAN TO TOUR EUROPE

Jamaican music sensation Christopher Martin heads to Europe this winter for 5 solo shows and then joins European reggae star Gentleman as they embark on a multi-city European tour in November and December.

Christopher Martin and Gentleman have seen significant success in their careers as individual artiste but recently teamed up and merged their solo success and created a number one hit song called To The Top.  The video, shot in Marrakech, Morocco saw the two blending their musical styles with the captivating backdrop of the ancient city.  And this November Christopher Martin and Gentleman will further emphasize their collaborative genius on stages all over Europe.

Christopher Martin will start his tour of Europe, solo, for five shows beginning on October 30 in Mannheim, Germany. Martin then moves to Cologne, Germany on November 2, Oslo in Norway on November 5, back to Cologne on November 6 and finally in Helsinki, Finland on November 7.  The intensity of the tour will increase when Martin joins Gentleman on his Diversity tour from November 18 to December 22. This is the second leg of the tour with the fist leg, a six-week summer tour, being sold. out The upcoming tour will see Christopher Martin and Gentleman taking the stage in 9 countries for 22 shows. The two will perform in Germany, Switzerland, France, Holland, Spain, Luxemburg, Poland, Macedonia, and the Czech Republic.

Gentleman’s latest album Diversity entered the German Album Charts directly in pole position. This year MTV pays tribute to the artist and, for the first time, Gentleman is nominated in the category "Best German Artist" for the MTV European Music Awards in Madrid on November 11, 2010. 

Asked how he feels about being part of such a high profile tour, Christopher Martin says he is glad for the chance to show the world his music: “I am really happy for this opportunity, the song I did with Gentleman has really opened many doors for me and this tour will open more doors. I have never been on a tour of this magnitude, I know it will be a challenge but I am ready for it, keeping fit and getting ready to give the European fans my all.”

Christopher Martin, who has notched up numerous hits both in Europe and Jamaica, is now considered one of the new crop of stars who will carry on the legacy of Jamaican music in Europe.
