Former Jamaican Prime Minister, Edward Seaga visits Miami to promote Reggae Golden Juilee Album
MIRAMAR – As 2012 marks Jamaica’s 50th year of independence, VP Records offers arguably one of the most historical and genre-comprehensive box sets to commemorate the occasion. The 4-disc selection was curated by former Jamaican Prime Minister (1980-1989) Edward Seaga, who also played a major role in the development of the Jamaican music industry during the 1960s ska movement.
Reggae Golden Jubilee – Origins of Jamaican Music is available now on VP Records and will only be sold at retail stores.
The collection features deluxe packaging resembling hardcover book, extensive liner notes and 100 of the island’s most celebrated hits from Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Yellowman, Shaggy, Buju Banton, Sean Paul and many more.
From November 29th until December 2nd, VP Records is hosting a variety of events in the Miami area with former Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga to celebrate the launch of this epic collection.
