Luciano emerged as one of the most important reggae singers in decades and the greatest hope for roots reggae’s survival in the digital dancehall era. With hits such as Shake It Up Tonight, Where There Is Life and Sweep Over My Soul, Luciano’s authentic roots background brings comfort to the poor man in the face of recession and exploitation. Tonight the Messenger returns to The Drum stage alongside Turbulence, whose album Notorious elevated him to the world stage.
