Roots reggae revivalist Protoje in a free concert at the Hollywood ArtsPark
Bring a chair or a blanket to enjoy this free event at the magnificent ArtsPark in downtown Hollywood!
The exciting resurgence of conscious, organic music in Jamaica, dubbed as the “Reggae Revival,” has spread like wildfire over the last five years. Protoje remains at the forefront of this movement. Born Oje Ken Ollivierre in Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica to singer Lorna Bennett and a former calypso king Mike Ollivierre of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the GRAMMY-nominated artist creates a contemporary sound by blending hip-hop, R&B, soul and rock into his native genre of roots reggae and dancehall. Among the most popular Caribbean artists recording and touring today, Protoje is known for his balanced musicianship and collaborations, fueled by his resident beatsmith and collaborations with top hit-makers and major name artists.
Opening warm up by Dubwise DJs.
This FREE show is produced by the Rhythm Foundation for the City of Hollywood.
