Born Fire Promotions in association with Reggae Vibes Music present Anthony B‘s Black & Proud Concert at Club Amazura in Queens, New York on Saturday, February 25th, 2023. 

Anthony B – a committed Rastafarian – is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining live performers in Jamaica’s reggae-dancehall industry. His career officially began in the early 90s when he collaborated with Little Devon and made his debut single, The Living is Hard, on the Wizard label. Since then he has released over twenty studio albums, and has toured extensively around the world.

The concept for the Black & Proud Concert, which was intentionally scheduled for February – a month that is recognized and celebrated as Black History Month worldwide – came from Anthony‘s single with the same name, released in July, 2020 via Reggae Vibes Music.

This is a live band show that will see Anthony B joined by two equally energetic performers: Turbulence and Perfect Giddimani. There will also be  additional music by Massive B Sound (Bobby Konders & Jabba) and Mountain Lion Sound. Early bird tickets are available now via eventbrite.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for brands wanting to get in front of a high-quality audience. Submit here: info@blackandproudconcert.com
