SUMMARY:Marcia Griffiths and Friends (Celebrating 60 Years)
DESCRIPTION:Reggae’s Queen Marcia Griffiths OJ\, OD celebrates 60 years in the music this November. Marcia Griffiths has been consistently recording\, touring and performing since she started in music. Marcia was singing when Reggae became a global contending genre and played a dominant role in its recognition. Born in West Kingston\, Jamaica\, Griffiths started her career in 1964\, performing on stage with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires at the behest of Phillip James of The Blues Busters\, who had heard her singing in her home neighborhood. Her performance was impressive that she was offered recording contracts by both Clement Dodd and Ronnie Nasralla. She chose to record for Dodd’s Studio One label\, where she recorded a series of duets with male singers such as Tony Gregory (“You’re Mine”)\, Bob Marley (“Oh My Darling”)\, Jeff Dixon (“Words”)\, and Bob Andy (“Always Together”). In 1968 she had her first success as a solo artist\, with “Feel Like Jumping”\, which like her other early Studio One solo hits (including “Truly” and “Melody Life”)\, were written by Andy. \nFrom 1970 to 1974\, she worked together with Bob Andy as a duo (Bob and Marcia) on the Harry J Label. Between 1974 and 1981\, she was a member of the I Threes\, the trio of backing vocalists\, who supported Bob Marley & Wailers. She continued to record as a solo artist throughout the 1970s. In 1983\, she released her re-recording of the song “Electric Boogie”\, originally recorded and released by Bunny Wailer in 1976. Although the 1983 version became a minor hit for Griffiths\, the song was remixed in 1989\, and it was this version that made the Electric Slide\, an international dance craze. It reached number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100\, making it her most successful single. It is currently the highest-selling single by a female reggae singer of all time. \nThis November\, the legendary artiste and friends she’s collaborated with throughout the years\, take the stage for a spectacular night of Reggae in Kingston\, Jamaica. Reggae’s top acts will converge for a unique cultural experience\, bringing together reggae enthusiasts from across the globe to celebrate the rich history of Queen Marcia and future of reggae music. \nEVENT DETAILS \nDate: November 3rd \, 2024 \nLocation: Hope Gardens\, Kingston Jamaica \nTarget Audience: Reggae music lovers of all ages\, families\, and tourists \nFeatured Acts: Marcia Griffiths\, Patti Labelle\, Beres Hammond\, Tanya Stephens\, Busy Signal\, Cutty Ranks\, Duane Stephenson\, Kymani Marley\, Skip Marley & others. \nTICKETS:\nVVIP -$300 USD\nFood Inclusive\nVIP -$150 USD\nGeneral-$50 USD \nTickets will be sold online at www.marciagriffiths.com and there will also be various ticket outlets island wide for convenient access. \nBECOME A SPONSOR \nSponsoring this event offers a unique opportunity to: \n\nHonour Marcia Griffiths and the tremendous contribution she has made to the Jamaican Music Industry.\nConnect with the history and Future of the Jamaican / Diaspora Reggae Brand\nCommunity Engagement: Support the local culture and music industry.\nEnhance your Brand Visibility Reach thousands of attendees and millions of potential online viewers.\nExclusive Access: Enjoy VIP treatment and exclusive networking opportunities.\n\nFor more information click here to download brochure. \nCONTACT INFO \nWe look forward to partnering with you to make this celebration of reggae music an unforgettable experience! \nEvent Organizer \nSharon Burke\nthesolidagency@gmail.com\nTel: 1.876.469.4005\nIG: @sharonbrukesolidagency \nPR \nJudith Bodley\njudithbodley@gmail.com\nTel: 1.876.367.2588\nIG: @judithannbodley \nTicket Locations:  \nTickets will be sold online and there will also be various ticket outlets island wide for convenient access.
