Natural Vibes and Yaco M are scheduled to perform in Colombia in the summer. While there, he plans to introduce International Wine and One Up To Me Thing to arguably the biggest pop music market in South America. “We just want to get things on a larger scale,” said Natural Vibes.
One Up To Me Thing hears the Montego Bay-born artist returning to his dancehall roots. When he started his career in that resort city during the 1990s, acts like Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and Sizzla were the rage, and were among his biggest influences.
Those influences can be heard on Born to Be Great, Natural Vibes’ debut album which was released last year by VP Records. That set also exposed his admiration for Latin sounds through two collaborations with Yaco M, an American of Puerto Rican descent.
International Wine’s Latin-tinged dancehall has earned them a following in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Colombia. In April, Natural Vibes and Yaco M performed at Moto Rock Fest, a major event in Sabinas Hidalgo, Mexico.
