REGGAE 'STORM' GUSTS THROUGH BROOKLYN, IN TRIBUTE


The Coalition to Preserve Reggae will present their annual Reggae Culture Salute on Saturday, Nov. 1, in Brooklyn, New York.

The event is aimed at raising funds to preserve and promote traditional reggae music (scroll down for an earlier article about the Coalition in SWAN), and chief organizer Sharon Gordon promises a “storm” of a concert.

“Lyrical wind gusts are expected to be 180mph so make sure you're safely seated by 7 pm in Nazareth H.S. located at 475 E 57th Street in Brooklyn because Da Real Storm is brewing,” Gordon says.

Performers include reggae icon Marcia Griffiths, U.S.-based musician Don Minott, and the fast-rising singer and poet Da Real Storm.
