What an excitement!! Jamaican promoter Walter Elmore's Art of Music Productions (AMP) has confirmed that the one and only, CELINE DION is officially booked for the 2012 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival!
My sister and her husband decided to spend their anniversary there the MOMENT they found out the amazing news, so that means that I will be on babysitter duty.. but I don't even mind, I understand what a performance from Celine Dion means to a true Jamaican!
If you don't already know, one of the most popular genre's of music in Jamaica is SOUL! And Celine Dion is on the top of the list!! Surprisingly in a statement, Celine Dion said that this would be her VERY FIRST TIME visiting Jamaica. She will be in for quite a surprise once she realizes that she has a very strong fan base in Jamaica.
"I am looking forward to doing my very first show in the Caribbean and this is an honor for me to perform at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival. What a beautiful way to meet the people of Jamaica on this, my first trip to the island. I just can't wait!"
The festival is scheduled to run from January 26th to the 28th with Celine Dion's exciting performance on the Friday night.
The 2012 Jamaica, Jazz and Blues Festival is going to be EPIC to say the least, since 2012 is the year that Jamaica will celebrate 50 years of independence, the opening night of the festival is dedicated to all of the different variations of reggae music over the past 50 years including Ska, Rocksteady, Dancehall and Reggae.
