During the launch, Buju Banton encouraged local artists to elevate the quality of their music for the global community. “Our music has helped many people far and wide. I encourage them to raise the standards, to offer the world the very best from Jamaica in their music production,” he said.



“It is an opportunity for us as Jamaicans to celebrate Jamaican excellence. You have Beres Hammond and Buju Banton, two iconic superstars in terms of reggae music, rock steady, lover’s rock as well as dancehall,” said Sean Wallace, Head of Commercial of Red Stripe.


“It’s an opportunity to celebrate the music, the culture and as Red Stripe, a company and red stripe beer and Guinness Stout as a brand is an opportunity for us to continue supporting Jamaica music and culture", he added.


In response to previous traffic challenges at Plantation Cove, organizers have implemented logistical improvements to ensure a smoother experience. Three designated entry points will facilitate easier access for attendees, while four exits have been established to allow for an efficient departure from the venue.
