Do you know where Buju Banton, Lady G, Doug E. Fresh, Inner Circle, Leon & The Peoples, BB Seaton & The Gaylads and more will be enjoying their 4th of July weekend? In Chicago, at the International Festival Of Life. All these artists plus more will be rocking and crooning to crowds of all ages and all backgrounds.
According to EURweb:
The Festival of Life is a family event designed to help bridge the gap between people from the Caribbean, Africans, Europeans and Americans of all cultures and ethnic backgrounds by spotlighting the various cultures through their music, food, arts and crafts.
IFOL is also a 5-day extravaganza of music, arts, crafts and food, welcoming over 150,000 attendees and participants in Chicago’s Washington Park. Ephraim Martin, the festival’s producer promises:
“This show will be the kind of spiritually enriching family event that everyone can appreciate because we’re talking about independence through the eyes of Buju Banton. It is not just the talk of the town–it’s the talk of the country!”
Banton will be performing with the Shiloh Band as part of his tour supporting the recently released Too Bad. The album received widespread praise when it was released last October, and fans across the US are eagerly looking forward to hearing songs from Too Bad performed live this summer. Buju Banton and Shiloh Band kick off the tour with the appearance at the 15th Annual IFOL in Chicago on Wednesday July 4th, then head to London, Ontario, Canada for their concert on July 6th. New Kidz will be opening the shows.
