Beenie Man stuns Seychellois crowd |06 October 2016

‘King of Dancehall’ Beenie Man kept his promise by delivering ‘nothing but the best’ in a crowd-pleasing performance at the mini stadium (La Promenade field) last weekend.

The Grammy-Award winner entertained Victoria by bringing the audience back to the 1990s with songs such as ‘Girls Dem Sugar’, ‘Romie’, ‘Who am I’.

He also gave the spectators a taste of his latest album ‘Unstoppable’, which was released last month and features 22 singles.

The project has been in the works since last year and marks the first full length album from the Doc in 10 years.

The Jamaican artist got the Seychellois crowd from different ages cheering to his dancehall and reggae tunes for the first time in the island nation.

During the show Beenie Man also performed alongside one of the best reggae artists in Seychelles, Ambitious. Ironically, Ambitious is the only artist in the region to have a song with the ‘King of Dancehall’ entitled ‘Woman Mi favour’ on the album ‘Jah Anytime’. It was recorded in Seychelles with mixing done in Canada.

Beenie Man also congratulated Ambitious on stage and told him to keep pushing the boundaries of music, that no man is an island.

Hype production management, the organiser of the Bennie Man’s show, also held a raffle draw on the night of the concert and the winning ticket was number 478. The winner must contact Hype Production via its facebook page to collect one return ticket to any Air Seychelles destination.

Beenie Man’s concert was one of the most anticipated shows of the year, following recent performances by Konshens, Demarco, Charly Black, and Radio & Weasel.

Overall all the organiser was really proud of the show, that everyone thought it was a total success.  Ezy-D from Hype Production stated that soon they will be another artist, this time not from Jamaica but From the U.S.A.

This month, Seychelles will welcome Romain Virgo who will perform in Victoria. Virgo is a singer from Jamaica who specialises in the lovers rock style of reggae music.
