Bermudian reggae artist Magma proved to be a big hit at Sunday’s tribute concert for the late ‘Crown Prince of Reggae’ Dennis Brown in Kingston, Jamaica.

A massive crowd watched in awe as Magma, whose real name is Adam Mayho, dazzled on stage whilst performing “lively renditions” of some of the late Brown’s numerous hits.

According to Jamaican media reports, Magma was the “highlight” of the opening segment of the concert, his energy whipping the crowd into a “frenzy” and leaving them “wanting more” as he exited the stage.

Magma, 35, has been the subject of much media attention in Jamaica.

Earlier this month it emerged the singer had collaborated with iconic reggae singer Half Pint on a remake of the latter’s hit song, ‘Level The Vibes’. The song is one of several hits that made Half Pint, who performed at last November’s Veterans in Action Show at CedarBridge Academy, popular among reggae fans in the 1980s.

“It’s an honour and a joy to be able to record a song with Half Pint, he’s a legend,” Magma told the Jamaican Star.

‘Level The Vibes’ is produced by Earl (Chinna) Smith, Donovan Josephs and Adam Mayo for Molten Rock productions. The song is due to be released by Inna De Yard Distribution via iTunes by the end of the month. A full-scale promotional campaign for the song is currently in the works, Magma revealed.

Magma, who grew up in Warwick and attended Saltus Grammar School, began singing during his mid-teens and was influenced by reggae greats such as Bob Marley, The Congos and Burning Spear.

In 2006 he moved to Jamaica in search of more recording opportunities, a move which appears to be paying dividends.

Sunday’s fifth annual tribute to Dennis Brown concert was held at the Bank of Jamaica car park in downtown Kingston and was co-hosted by Michael ‘Stringbean’ Nicholson, Jamaican Reggae Industry Association Chairman Igbo Cooper and Empress Isis.

Other reggae artists that performed included Tristan Palmer, I-Wayne, George Nooks and Marla Brown, daughter of the late Brown.

Brown, the youngest of the late singer’s children, sent the crowd on a stroll down memory lane as she belted out the lyrics to some of her father’s biggest hits such as ‘Silhouette’ and ‘How Could I leave’.

Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith and Inna Di Yaad band warmed the crowd up during the first segment to set the tone for the evening before the late Brown’s original backing band, Lloyd Parks and We the People, “took things to a whole new level” during the second segment.

Dennis Brown died in July 1999 at the age of 42.
