Visa issues were the cause of Horace Andy missing several shows in the US recently, when he was scheduled to share the bill with dub and reggae heavyweights Sly and Robbie. The visa has been issued finally, Andy flew from Kingston, Jamaica to California, and the tour will proceed as planned. Cherine Anderson opens the concerts, warming up the crowd for Horace Andy’s roots reggae crooning and Sly and Robbie’s relentless and warm jamming on drums and bass.

Horace Andy recorded a beautiful song, still covered often by newcomers: “Skylarking” – a warning to the youth if they slack off and don’t carry their weight in the community. Andy also recorded “Angel” with Massive Attack and releases albums on their record label, Melankolic. With Sly and Robbie on the same stage, it would be a shame to miss these shows if you are a reggae fan on the west coast.
