First Jazz Fest weekend features reggae revival artists Protoje, Sevana – Verite News

GX Network

Protoje and Sevana bring the reggae revival heat to Jazz Fest’s opening weekend, cementing the festival’s role as a launchpad for the genre’s contemporary vanguard. The two artists represent the new guard of conscious reggaeโ€”Protoje with his introspective lyricism and production nous, Sevana with her ethereal vocal presence and roots sensibilityโ€”both carrying the torch for a generation reclaiming reggae’s spiritual and political moorings.

Their presence at Jazz Fest signals what’s become undeniable: reggae isn’t a heritage act anymore. It’s living, breathing, and reshaping itself in real time. Expect the kind of sets that remind audiences why this music still moves souls and shifts consciousness.
