Attracting heavyweights from the Chinese reggae community, the evening provides a platform for artists from Beijing and Shanghai with a line-up that represents and merges the different reggae worlds of the two big cities. The capital is represented by General Huge, a big name on the Chinese scene and co-founder of the country’s first reggae label. By his side, singer Zulu Bob and DJ Sistakilla.L.

Meanwhile, from Shanghai there will be a set by Afro-Ghanaian singer JAC 45 (“Too Many Girls†and “Nana Amaâ€). He will also be joined by Shanghai Dancehall DJs Dubshottas, Kyle B., Mousetrap and Shanghai Yard, and American hip-hop MC Skinny OG – who co-founded the Black China Music Company.
Construction will begin at 9 p.m. and tickets include a drink. Whether you’re good on the scene or looking for something new, get ready for a reggae filled night beyond the usual Bob Marley you may know.
