Once again, Iberostar lived up to its growing reputation as the five star destination and entertainment hotspot in the Caribbean with an authentic reggae show at the Suites last night. Guests were treated to a lesson on Jamaican culture through a colorful combination of dance, music and song that honored Jamaica's rich musical history. A sense of national pride and nostalgia filled the atmosphere as each vocal performer sang from a place of emotional integrity and intensity that would have made reggae's ancerstors proud.
Vocal performances were exceptionally strong and the dance performaces were once again crisp and electrifying. The stage tonight at the Suites was lagre enough to accomodate the athletic Iberostar dancers, allowing them to show off their skills-- and they did not disappoint. Among the many spectacular dance routines, a duet featuring Kemar Forrest and Shantay West was particulary captivating. What a wonderful way to appreciate and imbibe reggae's rich history.
Although strongly influenced by traditional African, American jazz and old-time rhythm and blues, reggae owes its direct origins to the progressive development of ska and rocksteady in 1960s Jamaica. Elements of ska and rocksteady--reggae's true historic roots--came alive at last night's dramatic showcase-- a showcase that had an`enlivened audience literally dancing in the aisles.
You can catch this not-to-be-missed reggae showcase at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Resort in Montego Bay.
