In a recent article, Maria Jackson Magazine reported that Jamaica’s iconic music festival, Reggae Sunsplash, will be returning on November 27th and 28th. It goes without saying that due to the covid19 pandemic the event will be presented in a virtual format.
In the forementioned story we were not able to announce a lineup because none was not yet made public. That being said, it has now been brought to our attention that Agent Sasco and Barrington Levy are two of the confirmed acts for the show. Sasco will perform on night 2, which is presumably the dancehall night, while Levy will be on night 1, reggae night.
We will continue to share more updates as they become available to us.
On Friday, November 13th, E.G. and his team released the remix to his summer hit, “Stand With The Protesters.” For the new version he invited fast rising Jamaican reggae artist Ras Xtr3me, as well as hip-hop lyricists Mr. AMG and J Shadda to join him.
Much like the original, the remix is all about the ongoing struggle for racial equality, not just in the United States of America, but all over the world. This year we have seen a lot of people – of all races and backgrounds – take to the streets to protest what is clearly a systematic bias and prejudice against people of color; particularly black people.
The remix of “Stand With The Protesters” is four times as powerful and is expected to have an even bigger impact than the original. All the artists featured on this record delivered strong verses as they lament on this issue from their unique perspective.
At the end of 2019, the original queen of soca, Alison Hinds, released a banging tune titled “West Indian.” The song was written and produced by BET Soul Train Award winning producer, Jelani ‘Pops’ Shaw, and it’s on the P.A.G.E. Music label.
