With more than three million viewers tuning in to the
performances two weeks ago, telecommunications firm Flow said it will now show
the performances on in around the region
Flow’s Senior Marketing Manager, Latoy Lawrence, said “We
made a promise to provide a flawless virtual experience, connecting our
customers and viewers across the world to their favourite artistes during
Reggae Sumfest 2020. We did just that. Now, we have upped the ante to
take the virtual festival to television screens across Jamaica and the
Caribbean.”
With the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic prompting the physical show’s cancellation, the virtual
staging was quickly arranged to appease music fans.
Social media was ablaze with positive sentiments for the seamless
virtual staging and high-energy performances from artistes including Shenseea,
Koffee and Agent Sasco.
@Rebel_Steph tweeted, “Honestly the best @reggaesumfest I
have been to in a while! Nice artist transitions. No long sets, no long changes
and no long talking! Big up @FlowJamaica for the quality stream.”
While @duhitzkeem added,
“@FLOWJamaica I’m happy that the show is still live… Y’all winning tonight too
#ReggaeSumfest.”
