Black Uhuru featuring Michael Rose & Duckie Simpson
Black Uhuru, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom", is known as one of the most successful of the second-generation reggae bands, and the first reggae band to win a Grammy for their 1983 album, Anthem.
Luciano with Dean Fraser & Mikey General
Luciano is creating an impact on the lives of his fans worldwide. His visionary style of music, stimulating thought motivating spirit, and poetically lifting the listener above the physical and material realms. His second album for Chris Blackwell’s Island Records “Messenger” (1997) was named by Time Magazine as one of the ten best albums in the world.
Kymani Marley
"My message is always to deal with love, peace and unity. That's the most powerful thing, and if people can feel that then I have done something right," is Kymani Marley, Bob Marley’s son’s message to the world. In 1997, Kymani joined forces with Praswell (Fugees) on a hit cover of Eddy Grant's 'Electric Avenue.' The extent of his star power became abundantly clear when Kymani took the stage at Midem which for the first time in its history was held in Miami. In front of an international audience and a capacity filled Cameo Theatre, Kymani delivered an explosive set which was aired live by CANA (Caribbean News Agency) to thirty-six (36) countries.
The Festival
Montreal International Reggae Festival is a non-profit organization that strives to increase awareness of the powerful message of “unity” behind reggae music and culture, assist artists in gaining exposure, develop nationwide artistic activity, and encourage a greater understanding and appreciation of our unique multicultural society. This year’s festival promises to attract larger crowds and more media attention than in previous editions.
