Reggae Sunsplash Music Festival - Best of Sunsplash 1991
BOB MARLEY TRIBUTE On July 15-20, 1991 - MONTIGO BAY, JAMAICA
Reggae Sunsplash is a reggae music festival first staged in 1978 in the northern part of Jamaica. In 1985 it expanded with the addition of an international touring festival. The festival ran annually until 1996, with a final event in 1998, before it was revived in 2006.
History
The ReggaeSunsplash festival was the brainchild of five Jamaicans - Tony Johnson, Don Green, Ronnie Burke, John Wakeling, Ed Barclay.[The five founding directors created a company called Synergy Productions Ltd, which was responsible for promoting and producing the Reggae Sunsplash festival.
The first Reggae Sunsplash festival was staged at Jarrett Park, Montego Bay, Jamaica, in June 1978 and began at dusk and continued until dawn for seven days. With the help of Peter Martin, a longtime Jamaican tourism stalwart and his public relations firm, Peter Martin Associates, the Sunsplash Festival was able to gain international exposure. It was billed as the "biggest Reggae festival in the history of the world". The festival introduced the concept of music and travel as a boost to tourism in Jamaica. Prior to the staging of Reggae Sunsplash, the hotels in Jamaica were traditionally closed during the summer period. The five founding partners staged the festival each year for a number of years and successfully created an annual summer tourist season in Jamaica. The success of Reggae Sunsplash led to a wave of annual music festivals in Jamaica and the Caribbean islands. The festivals popularity led to a shortage of hotel rooms and a tradition of camping out on local beaches.
To promote Jamaica as a tourist and travelling target in Europe, the Jamaica Tourist Board invited in 1983 the German band Supermax as opening act of the annual festival in Montego Bay. Clever was to invite also several German journalists to report not only about the festival but also about the sunny side of Jamaica.
From 1981 the festivals were filmed and recorded, with several videos and albums released, the first being Reggae Sunsplash '81: Tribute to Bob Marley, released by Elektra Records. From 1987 the festival included a sound clash event, with finalists from a national sound system competition competing as a precursor to the rest of the festival. The festival also expanded to include an 'oldies night' featuring stars from past eras of Jamaican music. For many years the festival was emcee's by Tommy Cowan.
In 1984 the Reggae Sunsplash festival also expanded into international events with a one-day festival staged at The Crystal Palace in London, England. In 1985 the Reggae Sunsplash World tour was launched in the USA and Japan and subsequent years saw the Reggae Sunsplash festival touring extensively throughout North America, Europe, South America and the Far East. 1991 saw the introduction of a 'Caribbean Night' featuring other Caribbean music such as soca, and the following year the festival's scope increased further with the addition of a 'World Beat Night'.
The festival was re-established by the Johnson family in 2006, but it was not successful. The international touring festival, however, has continued.
In August 2015 it was announced that Burke would be awarded the Order of Distinction by the Jamaican government in recognition of his contribution to the development of Jamaican music.

Holy crap. I had no idea Dube played at Sunsplash
Reminds of my late brother... he introduced all of us into conscious music
What a lineup. Gregory Isaacs, Third World, I. Threes, Maxi Priest, Luke Dube. I could do without the dance hall.
probably the greatest sunsplash ever so many amazing artists big up❤
This concert was 3 days after my brother passed away. I picked it up on VHS 6 months later. This video kept me company during my darkest days. It introduced me to Lucky Dube and Barrington Levy and for that I will forever be grateful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Side note : Shinehead’s credibility went to 1000% after he went into the real crowd. #Respect #DisPoem

Yes my guy lucky has make it to the big league his music great ercellent
I was there and it was great. It's unfortunately the music of love and compassion "Reggae music " has come to an end in this medium. I look forward to Reggae sunsplash or some similar reggae festival to resume the legacy This was so much bigger than money and anyone artist, it is a voice from the wilderness of mankind. May all the artist who performed at this festival who are no longer with us finds warmth and compassion in the arms of the ancestor's.
My childhood favorite tv program! I love reggae sunsplash. Back in the 90's .👌👍
20 years looking for this concert to show it to mom because she used to play the videotape so many times when I was a child, and now we don't talk to each other, thanks anyways for uploading this. It brought some happy memories to me.

I haven't seen this video before, so it was such a lovely find. But this makes me sad also, cause there's no Sunsplash anymore, no roots reggae, most great reggae legends are dead already. An era of my favorite music has ended. When Bunny Rugs died, that was the end of it. At least that's how I feel. So big thanks for posting videos like this MrAlistair4 !!
