The SEEN Festival and artist /bookings info The SEEN Festival - review http://foxingramenterprise.envy.nu/page1.html Saturday afternoon August 16th many in Berkeley California's historic People's Park witnessed what was for a certainty a day of much-needed reggae bubblin, roots and culture, As once again reggae festival promoters Tyrone S. Ingram and Walter S. Fox of the Oakland, California based entertainment company; Fox Ingram Enterprise, staged once again the ever-growing SEEN Festival that after this exciting show, is now heading into it 9th successful year. This year the duo really made a major move, bringing in Jamaican roots reggae superstar and veteran performer; Prezident Brown who had The SEEN Festival crowd of over 2800+ (a SEEN festival attendance record) in a complete frenzy. Prezident Brown mesmerized The SEEN Festival massives with an arsenal of his past and recent hits including: Micro Chip, Can't Touch My Soul, African Woman and many more to the delight of the SEEN Festival. " We are really appreciative the Prezident Brown could make our festival series a part of his US tour, He is for a fact a consumate professional and a pleasure to work with and we look forward to headlining him in one of our future indoor shows exclaimed SEEN Festival founder and co-promoter; Tyrone S. Ingram (Oonka Symeon) who himself performed earlier in the program to a rousing ovation by all those in attendance. Aside from being one of west coast's and the San Francisco bay area's top reggae concert and festival promoters, Ingram is also the co-owner of several thriving businesses in the downtown Oakland area. He and business partner Walter S Fox. who also performs as; The Incredible Sly Fox are just as world-class an act as any that I've seen here in recent years. The two are also currently in the recording studio completing Oonka Symeon's debut CD: Kingpin Fi Sure. Established Drummer and band-leader; Emsley Fraser in my opinon is finally getting his just due through his works in the SEEN festival series, The Splash Band and with his works with popular reggae diva; Sister I Live and the 48th Street Band. Fraser has worked with many "names" in reggae music over the years and this year he certainly brought even more of the "extra" that was needed in this show as he and his band; The Splash Band served a backup to Chicago/Jamaica's sizzlin' hot dancehall newcomer; Risbo and to Jamaican-Canadian dancehall veteran; Mr Major P. who now goes by the moniker of the same name but different spelling: (Mr Majah P.) who himself wowwed the crowda people at SEEN with songs from his latest (3 sons records) CD release: Jahovah; The True and Living God. Like Oonka Symeon, Mr.Majah P. is rapidly becoming one of the hottest dancehall acts on the west coast....something to have an ear out for, for sure. like always The SEEN Festival is a show that truely gives back to the community in every way. Monies and canned foods were raised benefitting victims of domestic violence and homeless families in the eastbay area and the show also served as a launching pad for such new and up-coming artists like Oakland's R&B singing sensation; Dante who belted out a couple of nice self written tunes from his current and self entitled debut released CD. Hip hop also made it's way onto the SEEN Festival's stage as another hot newcomer rap artist Samurai started tings off with a very hip and conscious "head-bobbin' stage show that was reminisent of the rapping styles of the early 90's and may be a sleeper in the world of west coast rap. overall The SEEN Festival once showed that reggae and today's soul music can co-exist with a successfully outcome and that Fox Ingram Enterprise and The SEEN Festival is a breath of fresh air and a summer festival series to be rekconed with....The SEEN Festival 2004 soon come Samuel T Ford - Fox Ingram News Oakland California Reggae artists and bands "AVAILABLE FOR HIRE!"
