Led by the
legendary Buju Banton, the SEG Geneva Arena is to home the inaugural
Border Splash concert to raise awareness of environmental issues,
inspire world unity and help nations prepare for natural disasters.
Also featuring Eek a Mouse, Richie Spice, Etana, Rygin King, Major
Mackerel plus Ras Theo and Rady Mouss, this is a nevermore timely
event using reggae, hip-hop, and dancehall to communicate a message
the whole world needs to hear.
Now recognized by UNESCO
as worthy of world culture status, it is appropriate that it is stars
of reggae who will be assembling at Geneva’s SEG Arena to raise
awareness for peace-making initiatives,
environmental awareness
and emergency preparedness. The concert series will undertake to
raise funding for green bonds that help to build “future-proof”
eco- villages in vulnerable communities that are increasingly
susceptible to hurricane risks and rising sea levels, especially in
countries bordering the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the
Mid-Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
Border Splash will be
officially launched in Europe on July 31, 2019
at the SEG Arena in Geneva, Switzerland, but
is ironically threatened with cancellation by the record high
temperatures. Spokesman Stevie Eagle E said:
“ It's
ironic that we are facing this problem and it really shows the extent
of the problem we are facing globally and why we have to make the
world aware that we cannot put this issue away until tomorrow. We
are in the Danger zone. However, we are doing everything to ensure the
show not only goes ahead but also people have a great time. We are
looking at solutions including making sure everyone has enough water
and that staff in the stadium are on hand and fully prepared to help
people. We encourage everyone to come and support this great event
and help heal Mahdah Urf.”
Grammy Award-winning
artist, Buju Banton is the ideal reggae ambassador of the moment to
help make this global appeal relevant to a new generation of artists.
Using the unifying power of music and his ability to speak to people
of all color and background, Buju is committed to bringing people
together to solve the major threats facing the entire planet.
Additionally, a worldwide
collective of artists have come together to create a universal anthem
inspired by Michael Jacksons 'Earth Song'. This group calling
themselves The Mahdah Urf Collective
released 'Mahdah Urf (Earth Song Revival) on the 15th of July to
critical acclaim Produced by Della Danger Drummond & Edward
'Nine' Warren (Danger Zone Music Group). With Super Mogul and
long-time business partner and friend of Michael Jackson, Qadree
El-Amin on the team behind both the song and the event and with the
support of the Jackson Estate who on the anniversary of Michaels
death encouraged his fans to continue his legacy on the environment
and humanitarian issues It is hoped this song will become an anthem
for climate change and environmental issues.
