When Jamaica's Reggae Sumfest Becomes An All Reggae/Dancehall Show

Spice

The annual Reggae Sumfest went down in Montego Bay July 21 - 24, 2016 under new management. With some adjustments that made it an all Jamaican music and artistes entertainment showcase and void of its' usual inclusion of international RnB/Pop or Hip-Hop act(s) on its final night the event received rave reviews and massive support. Here's what some fans thought of some the performances:-
