New York, NY…One look at the foreseeable lineup for the 2017 Groovin Festival to be featured at the Roy Wilsons Park in Jamaica Queens, summer June 25,\u00a0 and there were no questions left to ask. If you have not been to a Jamaican Reggae Music Jam Session, then you have been deprived because this is something like that and because none of us have seen a reggae orchestra, this show will be something to be behold, a treat and must see; you can’t afford to miss this. It will\u00a0make history and will be mold over for years to come.<\/em><\/p>\n

Featured artists\u00a0slated for the momentous production Includes: Lloyd Park & We The People, Leroy Sibbles, Freddie McGreGor, Ken Boothe, Tarrus Riley, R&B sensation R. Kelly, The Lennox\u00a0Road Baptist Church Gospel Choir and recently added Jamaica’s stalwart Busy Signal and an advantage edge the musically intoned songbird a sensation to be hold Stephanie Mills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Groovin’s promoter Chris Roberts, in a phone interview the idea for a Jamaica Reggae Orchestra was iconic reggae\u00a0legend, Freddie Mcgregor.\u00a0 Roberts said\u00a0he had always wanted to see a Jamaican Orchestra in session and the implementation here by Mcgregor, gave him that chance.\u00a0Giving voice to the mystro R. Kelly; Roberts said\u00a0\u00a0“R Kelly have always been on our list of R&B artist to primer at Groovin. We have tried to get him through people but this time we got him through his team, they like the contract and was willing to do the show.”<\/p>\n

Thus far, the press was invited to the primer launch for the show 3\/25, at the Crown Plaza JFK, where not only press but\u00a0specially invited guest got to hear just a touch of what is to come. The insight was well received. Many there after, were delighted with the idea of a Symphony Reggae Orchestra and voiced there certainty of being in the Park Sunday June 25.<\/p>\n

In addition, later said day 3\/25, a quick interview with Lloyd Parks, over at VP Records; I learned that he couldn’t wait for the big show and was actually afoot mounting a case to bring an application… Intangible Cultural Heritage, to UNESCO that Tuesday, to ask for freedom of movements on behalf of Reggae artists.<\/p>\n

“JaRIA, will research the possible branch of Caricum reciprocal agreement, where musicians come into Jamaica to work but Jamaicans don’t get to participate or go to the shows (they’re outsized),” explained Parks.<\/p>\n

Moreover, another interview by phone with\u00a0 Mcgregor, April 18, who was in Malian at the time touring, said that\u00a0this years Groovin will be much different because of the orchestra production….push he didn’t want to give anything away except to say, “I am looking forward to the show.”<\/p>\n

Further inquires from the singer revealed that he has a farm in Florida, which he will present to the world shortly. Mcgregor has produces of 3 acres of Ocra ready to sell. He has vegetable, Colaloos and he raise horses. 20 acres of produces. “I will be selling my produces here in the U.S. as well as in Jamaica,” confirmed Mcgregor.\u00a0 The Reggae giant also articulated that all of his produce will be ready in weeks; the Ocra 2-3 weeks. Mcgregor farm to the world website is: freddiemcgregormusicbigshipfarm.com.<\/p>\n

Mcgregor at the time of this interview, was touring in Europe: Malian, Venice then finishing up in Rome at the end of April. The\u00a0 ever ready musician also let it be known that he was already in studios working on his 2018 album; which we are all looking forward to.<\/p>\n

Groovin In The Park, is going to be exceptional. Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n
