Get ready for a musical homecoming at the 2024 Wickie Wackie Music Festival on February 17! It’s been six years since Grammy-nominated reggae band Raging Fyah last graced the Jamaican stage together, and they’re back for a legendary reunion.
The last time Raging Fyah performed in Jamaica was back in 2017 at the Wickie Wackie Music Festival. That same year, they earned a Grammy nomination for their third album, Everlasting.
Lead singer Kumar Bent, also known as The Original Fyah, expressed his excitement, saying, “This is a homecoming for the band and I. Wickie Wackie Beach is our turf, and this festival is a testament to our love for Jamaica and our music. Planning this special return fills us with joy.”
Wickie Wackie Music Festival keeping Roots Reggae alive
Wickie Wackie Music Festival has been a cornerstone of the reggae scene since its launch in 2009. It stands out as one of the premier Roots Reggae Live Music & Sound System Destination Festivals, dedicated to showcasing emerging talents in the Reggae Revival movement.
