REGGAE IN MOTION
Portland House, Cardiff Bay
Sun 10 Feb
Reggae music was awarded the status of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018. This month, you can celebrate this evergreen genre in Cardiff via the lineup of Reggae In Motion. Held at former banking hall Portland House, the night will feature both well-established artists and relative newcomers, with Asante Ite’s live band and DJs like Love & Harmony Sounds, Ecko Vybz and other local artists.
Headlining the night is jungle icon General Levy, perhaps best known for his 1994s hit collaboration with M-Beat, Incredible. The ragga deejay has also recently worked with the likes of Chase & Status (Heater), Fedde Le Grand (Flex) and Spragga Benz (Are You Ready). Tippa Irie, of Hello Darling and The Black Eyed Peas track Hey Mama fame, is also part of the lineup, as well as his 1991 The New Decade collaborator Peter Hunnigale, who’s sure to bring some lovers rock into the mix. With these three leading Reggae In Motion, it’s looking to be a nostalgic yet energetic night.
Also performing are Sista T and Mace, bringing it all together to make Reggae In Motion a true celebration of reggae itself and party to remember. And if the promise of some reggae rhythm isn’t enough to pique your interest, maybe the Caribbean food available throughout the night will.
Tickets: £25. Info: 07468 452335
