Buju Banton & Stephen Marley at the Portsmouth Pavilion

Portsmouth Pavilion

Buju Banton is unequivocally one of the world’s greatest dancehall/reggae artists. The man born in Salt Lane, Kingston as Mark Anthony Myrie, is also known to the world as living legend, Grammy winner, abolitionist and voice for oppressed people around the world. For over three decades, he dominated the reggae/dancehall sub-genre with iconic collaborations (Beres Hammond, Stephen Marley, Dave Kelly, Sly & Robbie, Bobby Digital, Steely & Cleevie, just to name a few), lyricism superior to peer and a ministry committed to liberating the minds of oppressed people. The father often sons and eight daughters has taught the world true romance (“Who Say”), radical discernment (“Hills And Valleys”), perseverance (“Not An Easy Road”), and how to bogle (“Bogle”).

Stephen Marley is a 9-time GRAMMY Award–winning recording artist, singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. His career includes collaborations with artists such as Lauryn Hill, Bob Weir, Pitbull, Shaggy, Nas, Jack Johnson, Eric Clapton, Erykah Badu, as well as extensive work alongside his family. He is the second born child to the legendary icon, Bob Marley.
