Bringing the “Island Riddim” to the Island-Cosmopolitan

March ushers in proms, grad balls, final exams, and the onset of summer, to this small island-cosmopolitan of Cebu. To urban Cebuanos who have done their academic dues, March is more notable for being the unofficial month of reggae. It is the month when pocket concerts are held in honor of that rastafarian prophet and reggae statesman, Robert Nesta Marley.

This year, a tribute in his honor will be bringing the “island riddim” to the island-cosmopolitan dubbed, “High Noon on the road to Mout Zion.” This event will begin at high noon, no less, and will open with a reggae bazaar, with an assortment of activities and booths toting reggae-themed items and accessories.

This year’s tribute event will feature many of Cebu's foremost reggae bands, like, Junior Kilat, Urbal, Skunky Muggles, Island Joe, Coolie Dread and the Microphone Commanders, Crown Royale, Bambu Spliff, Skankin' Brew, Potent Bush, Domestic Grass, Powerspoonz, Paskanin, Big Marvin and D'Wigiws, Toy Souljahs, No Parking Anytime, and Santing Scalawags, and more!

To add spice to the reggae brew three non-Cebu based three reggae bands have been invited, namely, Reggae Mistress, Milagros Dancehall Collective and the much-loved Enchi.

Check out the event details below and I’ll see you at the festival!
