Jamaica’s star-power illuminated the stage at the Catherine Hall Entertainment Complex for the 31st annual Reggae Sumfest. The Godfather of Lover’s Rock, Beres Hammond, delivered a rousing performance with songs from his deep catalog, while Pablo YG ignited the stage with his contemporary Dancehall hits, reflecting his growing success. Luciano’s trademark praise for Jah lifted the spirit and voices of all in attendance while Aidonia’s Dancehall classics had patrons bussing blanks while singing along to his catchy and slick lyrics.
The ultimate surprise for Sumfesters was Lauryn Hill’s performance alongside her son, YG Marley, who was booked to perform.
