Patoranking Becomes the First Continental African Artist to Perform at Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica.

Nigerian afropop star Patoranking became the first artist from Africa to perform at Reggae Sumfest, the biggest Reggae festival in the world. 

The lineup included artists Movado, Tory Lanez and more but Patoranking was sure to bring a special African flavor to the stage.

Jamaicans have been very receptive to Patoranking since “My Woman, My Everything” dropped. 

Patoranking expressed his gratitude through an Instagram post:

Hopefully this is just the beginning of the crossover of fans between reggae and AfroBeat. It would be cool to see a dope collaboration come from this experience.
