Universal Youthman? Port Vila 5.8.16

My first exposure to the Wantok Reggae Dub Session

    This is a show of two hours of reggae every weeknight on Buzz FM. 
    I thought the show was presented by a deep-voiced Jamaican. He has a Jamaican accent and uses phrases like "mek this one mash up your head" and "dis one yah a boom shot". According to my sources, however, DJ Saipresz is 100% ni-Vanuatu. I look forward to meeting the man in the mirror shades!

Fun and chaos when Brisbane-based producer/DJ Tuff Tumas and MC, Yung Yanny turn up in Port Vila unexpectedly to support their friend, reggae singer, Jahboy for gigs celebrating 36 years of Vanuatu independence. Tuff and Yanny's presence is welcome because the ni-Vanuatu band hired to back Jahboy have cancelled owing to a dispute with the young Solomons singer. Photo: Tuff Tumas.

Jahboy in Port Vila
