Legendary Calypsonian, David Rudder, and Jamaican Dancehall sensation, Junior Reid, tore up the Sirius Stage last Saturday night with two big free concerts at Toronto's Harbourfront Stage.
The event was part of the nine-day Luminato Festival of Arts and Creativity which ended on Sunday.
Rudder, a former vocalist with Charlie's Roots Band out of Trinidad and Tobago, kept the audience grooving during his one hour performance and gave them a taste of his latest track, "Oil and Music" which he recorded with fellow island-mate, Machel Montano.
Junior Reid has continued to enjoy success as a solo artist and producer after leaving the group Black Uhuru in 1988. His voice is well-known for his 1990 hit, "One Blood" which has been sampled by Hip Hop Artists including The Game and Wu Tang Clan. His 2007 appearance on the American Music Awards alongside R&B Artist Alicia Keys was one of the highlights of the show. He is featured on the remix of her chartopping track, "No One" from her latest album, As I Am. Reid debuted "Don't Play Me Dirty," a new track from his album which is due out soon.
