Celebrated Jamaican Revolutionary Reggae Musician, Kabaka Pyramid has eulogized Stonebwoy for his strong efforts in pushing both Caribbean and African music across the globe. Kabaka who performed earlier before Stonebwoy at this year’s Reggae Geel festival in Europe paused within the set to celebrate him publicly.
“Before I come to Ghana, West Africa, there is s one connection. This my Brother (Stonebwoy), he is doing great things in Africa. He is representing Reggae, Dancehall & Afrobeats”, says Kabaka Pyramid to audience at Reggae Geel.
Stonebwoy climaxed his Europe Concerts with a last bang at Reggae Geel 2018 on Saturday, August 4th in Belgium.
He climbed the stage at 3:25pm EST and performed for 50 minutes. Though Stonebwoy’s first time performing at Reggae Geel, he fed off a reveling showmanship that was well received by the global audience. A lot of Caribbean folks from Jamaica, Suriname, Barbados, St. Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago, among various European, Asian and African countries rated him as one of the best performers on the festival.
