Roots reggae to rock 'Vibes is Right'

Roots Reggae will be rocking Wickie Wackie Beach, Bull Bay this Saturday for the second instalment of 'Vibes is Right.'

The first staging of the event this summer created a stir and featured sounds from the Rockers era played by Lee's Unlimited. This staging will feature Roots Reggae which includes dub and 'first-time' dancehall.

Sounds from the legendary King Tubby's, the infamous Sleng Teng 'riddim', Sister Nancy, Major Worries, Marcia Griffiths, Cutty Ranks, Half Pint, Garnet Silk and Sugar Minott, to name a few, will be featured. Patrons can look forward to a special guest DJ segment with Yaadcore who hails from the parish of Mandeville; and a guest performance by melodica player Addis Pablo, son of Augustus Pablo - dub producer, keyboardist and melodica player of international renown.

Producers of the event Kareece Lawrence, Janine 'Jah 9' Cunningham, Lesley-Ann Welsh and Natalie Reid are all actively engaged with the emerging live music landscape, and consider the Vibes Is Right series as part of their efforts to foster a vibrant, lucrative and diverse Jamaican Music Industry.

When asked what patrons can expect, Lawrence said in a release sent to THE STAR, "every element will be right on point; from the ambience to the music, the energy of the space, the sights and sounds. It's all organic and thus 'alive'; the music selections will be so great that attendees will be dancing the night away. We absolutely love what we do and want to share the experience with everyone, from the youths to elders."'
