Veteran reggae crooners Freddy McGregor, Ken Boothe and Sugar Minott, who have collectively blessed the world with some of the biggest reggae classics, will each be honoured with lifetime achievement awards for their outstanding contribution to the reggae industry.
Executives of Irie Jamboree, which is North America’s premier reggae festival, made the announcement recently. The awards will be presented at the 7th annual Irie Jamboree on Labour Day – Sunday, September 6 – at York College Outdoor Complex in Queens, New York.
Grammy winners Shaggy and Beenie Man will both receive the ‘Irie Jamboree Reggae Soldier Award’, while New York-based veteran dancehall DJ Mikey ‘Mac Daddy’ Jarrett, who in 1983 was crowned ‘Dancehall King of Brooklyn’ will be honoured with the ‘New York Industry Award’ (NYIA).
