Shaggy returns to rock top Caribbean music festival
10th annual St Kitts Music Festival set for June 29-July 2, 2006
Basseterre, St Kitts (February 9, 2006) – Shaggy returns to rock the 10th anniversary St Kitts Music Festival slated for June 29 to July 2, 2006.
The St Kitts Music Festival is well established as one of the top summer concerts in the Caribbean offering spectacular local, regional and international talent mixed with the unique Kittitian experience. The double platinum recording artist is the latest addition to the 2006 star-studded lineup, which to date includes Crucial Bankie, Culture, Morgan Heritage and Dionne Warwick.
Shaggy won his first Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1996 while the album’s title track, “Boombastic,” shot to number one on the reggae, R&B and rap charts all over the world. Hits such as “Summertime,” “Angel,” “That Girl” and “It Wasn’t Me” further solidified his international appeal.
The Jamaican Dancehall sensation was a major hit when he appeared previously at the St Kitts Music Festival. “Shaggy was so well received when he was here three years ago that patrons have been clamoring for his return,” says Allister Williams, executive secretary of the St Kitts Music Festival. “We are pleased to again feature his thrilling onstage performance for the 10th anniversary special. Shaggy’s unique style can be described as a blend of reggae, ska, hip hop and R&B, with an ample serving of natural charisma.”
