Beres Hammond

On December 6th 2008 the Wildey Gymnasium was transformed into the Best of Both Worlds. The venue was thronged with patrons who clamored for "A Moment in Time" with golden voiced crooner Beres Hammond and fellow Dancehall superstar, Cham.

Hammond, the premier performer on the night, rendered many of the top tracks which have spanned his successful career. The highlight of the night was his performance of his new single "I Feel Good" which has been receiving massive rotation. This song was an apt description of the mood that permeated through the crowd who had enjoyed a characteristically electric performance from himself and Jamaican counterpart Cham.

ChamCham hyped the appreciative crowd from the time he emerged on the stage. The ladies in the crowd were clearly enamored with the engaging performer as he belted out hits spanning from the ever popular 'Vitamin S' to the Billboard Hit Single 'Ghetto Story'.

He was ably supported by Norris Man who brought his cool mellow style to the event. He impressed the crowd with his smooth style that hardly veered from his albums.

Local rising band Masala, described as one of the most versatile bands on the island proved why there were deserving of this title. The event was used to premiere some of lead singer Philip 7's recently Jamaican produced reggae releases which he has recorded with some of Jamaica's leading producers including the likes of Richard 'Shams' Browne and Stephen McGregor, Donovan Germaine.

Songs such as 'Who You Are', "In My Heart", "Looking For" and the reggae version of "Beautiful Surprise" which was produced by Clive Hunte, all peaked the attention of several reggae fans. The vocal range of Philip 7, was evident as the band touched on every genre during their 45 minute set.

Also well received was another local artistes Buggy who continues to impress Barbadian audiences with his international quality material which includes a collaboration with world-renowned Sizzla.

Although Beres and Cham satisfied the audience with the string of hits, the future of reggae music with local rising stars Buggy and Philip 7 certainly looks promising.
