Last Saturday was a great appointment for Reggae Dancehall Music live, at the Clarendon Music Awards take was held in Quarry, May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica.

American born, Jamaican based singer & upcoming star Nefatari rocked the stage like no other!

No matter her young age she delivered an amazing performance delighting the hundreds of attendants. Was her first time on Clarendon’s Awards stage and she said she felt blessed and honored to showcase and perform alongside so many Jamaican’s music icons.

Others great performers included: Austin and the Clarendonians, Tommy Cowan and his wife Carlene Davis, Cashew Man, Merciless, Bunny General, Carlene Davis Stephen and for new talents: McGregor, Chino, Silver Cat, Keith Campbell and Assailant.

The show also guested Reggae Icons Derrick Morgan, Barrington Levy, Cocoa Tea  and Everton Blender that were all honored for their outstanding musical contributions.

Legendary Glen Washington won his most recent Award: the Lifetime Achievement Award to honor his long overdue work and contribution to Reggae Music.

He was really happy and humble and he declared:

“It is so surprising that they would recognize me as Clarendon has produced many wonderful artist such as Everton Blender, Freddie Mc Gregor and Cocoa Tea to name a few, so this recognition really means a lot and it’s a lot of joy”.

Glen Washington went from drummer with some of the most prominent groups in Reggae to striking out as a solo singer. Hard work pay off!

Glen has over the years been nominated twice for a Reggae Grammy including last year for his album “Destiny” but he didn’t yet receive one, cause, as he says,” there is still time for a Grammy”.
