Rare and current Jamaican reggae dancehall music videos and cultural events for a worldwide audience.
Another entertaining Tuesday night at the Kingston Night Market. This was recorded the same night Sampalue had his album launch, and featured here are other artists who performed - Karbon, Ragga Jahmari, Reggae Max, Boom Dawn, and Fire George. Live band on the stand, and the vibes were really nice.
Upcoming reggae star KARBON was born in Kingston, Jamaica. Raised with a humble background in Broadleaf in the parish of Manchester. From a youth, Karbon’s love for reggae and dancehall has never wavered.
He wrote his first song as a teenager. This encouraged him to start entering talent shows, musical competitions, and performing at different shows.
Rooted in the rich soil of Rastafari culture and reggae tradition, Karbon is an artist whose music radiates authenticity, soul, and deep respect for the culture he represents.
With a voice that carries warmth and conviction, Karbon has quickly become a standout figure among emerging talents, staying true to his roots while connecting powerfully with today’s audiences.
Karbon’s artistry reflects a deep spiritual connection and commitment to truth-telling through music. One of his latest releases, ‘Steaming’, produced by renowned artiste and producer The Grei Show, pays homage to the ritual of steaming – deeply tied to the Rastafari livity. With powerful lyrics and a meditative beat, the song invites listeners into a grounded, conscious space that uplifts and inspires.
Among crowd favorites is his well-known anthem, ‘High Grade Maka’ – a track that never fails to ignite energy wherever it’s played. This tune has become a staple in Karbon’s performances, celebrated for its homage to natural herbs and the conscious lifestyle of Rastafari.
Heather Harding, aka BOOM DAWN, singer, dub poetess, DJ, and songwriter,
Born in the parish of Hanover on the 28th of October. She attended Mt. Ward
Primary and later Herbert Morrison Technical High School. Boom Dawn hails
from a musical family, and it was destined that she would become a great
edutainer. As a child, she had a special gift for singing and entertaining those
who were around her. She started singing in the church junior choir
at the age of eight years old, and has performed at schools, churches, concerts, and festivals.
In high school, she was the lead singer of the African Star band based in
Montego Bay, but was forced to leave her dream by her mother, who thought
It was a distraction from schoolwork. On graduating from high school, she moved to Kingston, where she became a member of the Twelve Tribes of Israel organization.
There, she got the opportunity to display her musical talents as she accompanied lots of great artists on stage. These artists include Billy Mystic, Sugar Minott, Daniel Ray, Informative Historyman, and Sizzla Kalonji, just to name a few.
Since 2009, she has been a part of the Voices for Climate Change
Education. This is a project sponsored by Panos Caribbean and the National Environmental Education Committee (NEEC) and promotes about twenty (20) artistes traveling to schools and communities edutaining students and community members about climate Change. a
Up-and-coming reggae artist, RAGGA JAHMARI, born Raheem Burrell, is launching his music career even further with his inclusion in last year’s staging of Rastafest in Canada.
The son of noted audio engineer and producer Nigel Burrell, who co-produced Toots and the Maytals’ Grammy Award-winning album Got to be Tough, among several other major projects, Ragga Jahmari credits his passion and talent to the influence of those who have nurtured him.
“I fell in love with music based on the influence and being around reggae music,” he told Observer Online.
Known for his songs such as Strong Melanin, Words of Garvey, and Irie and Mellow – a tribute cover to Beres Hammond, the instrumentalist, composer, producer, writer, and singer said if he had to describe himself with just one title, it would definitely be producer. He is, however, hoping that his singing and performance at Rastafest will lead to more collaborations as he pursues his goal of achieving acclaim on the world stage.
“I want to see myself touring. The goal is to even open for another [big] artiste and push into becoming a world-wide name as a reggae artiste,” Ragga Jahmari said.
For him, “reggae is a community” which grows even stronger when talents combine. “Reggae is a community and a way to bring unity,” he said.
The 22-year-old is pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the University of the West Indies (Mona) in Music and Performance Studies while performing with the band Grvmnt.
