SUMMARY:Third World
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:00pm\nShow 7:30pm\n21+\, Positive ID Required\nPremium Seating with cocktail service: $59.50 + $6.95 service fee\nStandard Seating with cocktail service: $54.50 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing: $30 + $6.95 service fee \n+ $5 Day of Show \nCelebrating 40 years\, ‘Reggae Ambassadors’\, THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived Reggae bands of all time\, and one of Jamaica’s most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&B\, funk\, pop\, and rock and\, later on\, dancehall and rap\, Third World’s style has been described as “reggae-fusion”. Singer Bunny Rugs described the band’s sound: “Strictly a reggae band\, no. Definitely a reggae band\, yes.” Guitarist Cat Coore said of their music: “The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because\, by growing up in Jamaica\, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time we live in a country where you get to hear Chuck Berry\, Fats Domino and all the R & B artists.” Bassist Richard Daley said\, “We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it”. \nThe genesis of Third World was originally formed in 1973 by guitarist/cellist Steven “Cat” Coore\, keyboardist Michael “Ibo” Cooper\, drummer Carl Barovier and singer Milton “Prilly” Hamilton all of Inner Circle\, along with bassist Colin “Oliver” Leslie. Tomorrows Children bass guitarist\, Richard Daley soon replaced Colin Leslie and Leslie teamed up with Darren Green to manage and organize the group. After a few months\, Barovier was replaced by Cornell Marshall\, and the group made its live debut that year at Jamaica’s independence celebration. They played in and around the Kingston club scene and on the hotel scene island wide\, making a name for themselves as one of the few fully self-contained bands around.\nWith 10 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charted hits spanning four decades\, Third World accolades include\, the 1986 United Nations Peace Medal\, 1992 and 1996 Jamaica Music Industry Awards for Best Show Band\, New York City Ambassador Award in November 2009 at Brooklyn Academy of Music (“BAM”)\, 2011 Excellence in Music at the Atlanta Caribbean Festival\, numerous awards and accolades from Martin’s International Reggae and World Music Awards\, in 2012 William Clark was awarded Ambassador at Caribbean American Heritage Awards in Washington DC\, “The Art of Reggae Music” award for 40 years of quality music and dedication at the 2013 staging of Jamaica Jazz and Blues in Montego Bay\, the Keys to the Cities of Atlanta and Key West\, National Black Arts Award of Merit 2013 and more.
