Fantan Mojah & Louie Culture Also On The Lineup For Bushman’s Earth-Strong Celebration (@NyahManBushman)

Posted on April 16, 2023 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Bushman‘s upcoming birthday celebration – set for Sunday, April 23rd at 8 Rivaz Ultra Lounge in Ocho Rios – will, in addition to Natural Black and Turbulence, also feature musical legends Fantan Mojah and Louie Culture. The inclusion of the Rasta Got Soul singer and the Gangalee will no doubt add another layer of interest and excitement for those already anticipating the affair.

Furthermore, being a strong proponent and supporter of independent, emerging talents – especially those who purposely choose to create conscious music – Bushman made it a point to add several up-and-coming artists to the show. That said, Ras Nickmuda, Ajani, CP Ink, Ras Beru and Briggs Serita, will warm up the crowd before the heavy hitters take the stage.

The live performances will be supported by selectors DJ Lolipop (from Irie FM), Richie Lees, Sound Trooper and Danger Lee. Tickets are available now via eventbrite.
