“Roots reggae legend Burning Spear will return to Celebrate Brooklyn! for another epic performance. Last year’s vital Jah Is Real featured contributions from Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrel and found Spear at the top of his game. PopMatters said, “Four decades and still dropping knowledge: no other artist, with the possible exception of Toots Hibbert, can lay claim to being reggae’s true elder statesman.” The evening will begin with the harmonies and church-inflected soul of Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens.”

Thursday night at “Move Your Mule” at Otto’s Shrunken Head
on 14th Street and Ave. B in Manhattan
“This party, named for a song by the Jamaican-music pioneer Dandy Livingston (he sang the original version of “A Message to You, Rudy”), features selectors DJ Agent Jay and Johnny Metro spinning new and vintage ska, reggae, dub and rocksteady, with the occasional live act making Otto’s feel kind of like a Kingston bashment affair. For more info, go to ottosshrunkenhead.com. ”
