Vegas forms own crew, on promotional ICC tour

Dancehall superstar Mr. Vegas is presently on an intense four week promotional ICC World Twenty20 tour of the Caribbean with his own "4 Eva Bless" crew. The crew, which has been on a promotional blitz in the Caribbean since last week, comprises Natel, the Jamaican Michael Jackson, Brown Sugar and Boricia.

 

"We have put together a highly entertaining set which I know that the cricket fans of the Caribbean are going to love. Natel is a great artiste whose star is on the rise on the reggae scene in Jamaica and the Jamaican Michael Jackson has proved highly entertaining at all the shows I have seen him perform. We are looking forward to performing at the ICC matches all over the Caribbean," Vegas said in a release.

Natel, whose real name is Nathaniel Hewitt, is a former Rising Stars singer who is known for a combination song, You Turn Me On featuring Cherine Anderson, while the Jamaican Michael Jackson, dancer Nixon Hall, has enjoyed a surge in popularity since the death of the pop icon Michael Jackson.

"The promotional tour has gone well so far, this is real treat for reggae and dancehall fans," Vegas said.

Former Rising Stars winner for 2009 Brown Sugar and well known dancer Boricia are also on the tour, and the melding of the dancehall, reggae and soca influences will be a great experience for the Caribbean people. Vegas is also aggressively promoting his latest combination song, Bring It, alongside soca queen Fay Ann Lyons.

"The people are loving the song so far, we've got a phenomenal response to it from the radio disc jocks and the public. Fay was in Jamaica where we kicked off the tour in Kingston. Now the song is all over the radio in Trinidad and Guyana," he said.

The song is the official ICC World Twenty20 2010 Tournament Song, and it has been getting rave reviews from critics and music fans alike. Vegas is using the Caribbean-wide tour as a springboard to help promote the song as the organisers of the ICC World Twenty20 attempt to woo younger cricket fans in the Caribbean.

Appropriately titled after the event slogan, this fusion of two of the Caribbeans musical genres has been produced with young cricket fans in mind and showcases the persuasive harmonization of soca and dancehall. Bring It begins with one of Mr. Vegas signature pitches on a quick tempo ragga-soca beat where he refers to the Twenty 20 dance. He is then joined by intros from Lyons, urging the crowd to get in on the action: Hands up, hands up, everybody bringing it. Vegas deejays about cricket on the beat while Lyons belts out a catchy chorus.

The song is a satisfying mix of two hugely popular genres of Caribbean music that appeals to cricket fans of all ages.

"We will be performing the song at the ICC matches all over starting in Guyana, then St. Lucia and Barbados, the Women's World Cup in St. Kitts, we're going all over the Caribbean with this song," Vegas said.
