Preparations are ahead of schedule this year for
one of Jamaica’s longest running Reggae festival,
Reggae Sumfest. The show is slated for July 16-22
at Catherine Hall Entertainment Center in Montego
Bay Jamaica. Sumfest’s twenty-fifth year will be
the most special yet
The festival’s Chairman Joe Bogdanovich told us
that he is extra excited this year and apart from
everything being on schedule, he has now opened
the door to Nigeria, just one of the African nations
he is planning on opening the show’s doors to.
Bogdanovich who is also C.E.O of Downsound
Entertainment in Kingston has booked Nigerian
Patoranking for the show. Patoranking will be the
first artiste booked to perform on a Jamaican show
and will perform on the island on Reggae
Sumfest’s International night.
The show’s international night was axed last year
and only accommodated local Jamaican acts but
according to Bogdanovich, ‘Since Patoranking’s
song ,‘’My woman’’ took over the Jamaican
airways, we had to include him in our lineup, it is
a big deal. Jamaicans love their African brothers
and sisters and more than half the island will
make their way to Catherine Hall to see the show’.
Other international artistes who will perform
include Canadian Hip Hop artiste Tony Lanez who
is not Jamaican but if of Jamaican heritage.
Performances by Jamaican artistes Sean Paul,
Alkaline, Sizzla, Mavado, Bounty Killer, Queen
Ifrica, Sean Kingston, Beenie Man, Christopher
Martin, and Jah Cure.
Reggae Sumfest, is slated to become an
international fixture and will include a virtual reality
steam that will show real time coverage for those
who will be watching via live stream at
ReggaeSumfest.com
Downsound Entertainment and Reggae Sumfest
would like to welcome all Nigerians to watch the
show in the comfort of their homes or business.
