JAMAICAN reggae superstar Tony Rebel is coming to Zimbabwe for the third edition of Shoko Festival to be held next month. The reggae star’s performance will be at Water Whirld on Friday, September 20. Tony Rebel is known for his roots-oriented dancehall style awash with social commentary and he is in the same league with the long line of Jamaican Fire reggae artistes such as Luciano, Beres Hammond and Garnett Silk. This style of reggae dancehall has inspired the current crop of new wave reggae artistes. With a career spanning over a decade he has over 10 albums to his discography and is a reggae legend.
He is the host of the Jamaican annual reggae extravaganza Rebel Salute. It is a two- day cultural showcase which has attracted new age reggae artistes such as Movado, I-Octane Stephen and Damien Marley.
Rebel Salute aims to reclaim the moral high ground once occupied by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh by playing some of the cultural music that is no longer being played on Jamaican radio stations.
