I-land Vybes Reggae Splash
to feature Buju Banton
PHILIPSBURG--It’s an All White Dress Code for the I-land Vybes Reggae Splash featuring Buju Banton, Isasha and Voice Mail on Thursday, May 3 at Carnival Village.
The organizers are promising a night of positive vibes with the Jamaican reggae stars Buju Banton and Voice Mail. Trinidad is to be represented on that night with Million Voice and Isasha whose hit track “One of a Kind” is still receiving massive airplay on St. Maarten as in many other Caribbean countries.
Performers from the local reggae scene will be Far-I, Ezekiel the Lion Head, Lightening Storm and Dee-J Blaze. MC Dutty Sham and Selecta Chu Chu Benz will keep the night’s activities jumping once the show gets rolling at 8:00pm sharp.
Born Mark Myrie, Buju Banton has used numerous deejay names since picking up the microphone at the age of 12. He entered Jamaica’s musical fraternity as the “Lambada Man” and shortly thereafter became known as the Gargamel.
In a press release issued by the I-land Vybes Foundation Buju Banton said “Being in Dancehall at such a young age, seeing people with microphones, hearing the music, was the most mystical feeling I ever encountered. The first time I got the chance to make a song my head swelled so big, I knew right there and then that there was no turning back!”
“In music one must become more entrepreneurial in understanding the foundation of the business and the engine of it,” he further said. He was voted Comeback Artiste of the Year in 2005 by the Jamaica Observer newspaper based on the excellence of his live performances and his succession of hardcore dancehall hits.
“My company has been in inception for nine years so this is a blessing. I give thanks to the Most High God and I hope people will gravitate towards this music as they have towards my previous work,” he commented.
