Artistes give back
Contrary to what some may think that our artistes are just for the hype and all for themselves, over the last two decades or so, an increasing number of reggae artistes have been giving back to the society by reaching out the needy and less fortunate.
Perhaps the most high-profiled is Orville Richard Burrell, aka Shaggy. This Grammy Award-winning reggae artiste is once again staging his Shaggy and Friends charity concert which unfolds on the grounds of Jamaica House on Friday, December 30, to raise funds for the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston.
