Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay,Jamaica
Jamaica is synonymous with reggae. Indeed reggae is everywhere, an integral part of the life of the Jamaicans. It is little wonder then that the most famous event on the island is the world renowned Reggae Sumfest, which sees a celebration of reggae Music, Concerts, dances, and parties. The event is sponsored by Red Stripe, the most popular Jamaican beer, and takes place in Montego Bay in mid-July. To be near the venue and yet far from the crowds, you can book into Jamaica accommodation rentals that are more affordable than hotels and all-inclusive resorts, provide more value for money and allow you to immerse yourself in the culture of the island, something that will really add to your experience, especially if you wish to coincide your trip with one of the greatest cultural extravaganza that Jamaica has to offer.
Reggae Sumfest began in 1992 and has greatly risen to achieve a prominent status in the world's Music scene. The festival attracts top Jamaican Reggae Music groups, Dancehall acts, and even leading American performers. Music acts see the performance of Ziggy Marley, Damien Marley, and other sons of the legendary Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, and the Mighty Diamonds.
The events for the festival are held at various venues across Montego Bay. The venue for the Concerts is the Catherine Hall Entertainment Complex, which is also known as the Bob Marley Entertainment Center, and is located in the suburb of Freeport. You can enjoy other events at Rose Hall Beach Park, Pier 1 disco, and even at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville in Ocho Rios.
The festival kick starts with a large party on Walter Fletcher Beach. The main attraction however is the street party and parade held on Gloucester Avenue, which is Montego Bay's main thoroughfare.
Jamaica reggae music developed from the earlier musical styles of mento (similar to Trinidadian calypso), rocksteady, and ska and reached its peak in the 1970s, with the works of Bob Marley and the Wailers. Marley was largely responsible for drawing the attention of the world to Jamaican Reggae Music.
Reggae Sumfest attracts visitors from across the world. Because the event is so popular, Jamaica accommodation rentals are often reserved months in advance. If you are a fan of Jamaican Reggae Music there is no better place to be than in Jamaica this summer. Should you wish to visit the island during this period, you can consider staying in Silver Sands villas, located at an easy distance from Montego Bay, and avail of special discounts on offer on some of the villas and cottages.

In the 90s, how popular was the band "Sublime" in Canada?
Sublime featuring the lead singer Bradley Nowell from Southern California famous for the song "Santeria" and "What I Got".
He had a reggae style which I tend to think would have hit off well in Toronto with their international influence.
He overdosed on heroin sadly, but his style of music would have gone well with the Canadian scene, am I correct?
How often has this song got air play in guitar?
They were pretty popular in the mid nineties.....I remember those two songs being played during high school dances. What I got is still in my playlist now........
