Delveland Mango Festival in Jamaica which was scheduled for Sunday May 30, was postponed to Sunday June 13.

There will be various displays of mango dishes and other by-products. This year Boston Style Jerk Mango will be on display for the first time in the history of the festival. Think about Boston Style Jerk chicken and pork, which is very popular and craved by Jamaicans and visitors to the Island and imagine what it would be like to finally taste Graham and other mangoes prepared to wet the appetite and the taste buds.

A family oriented entertainment package is included in the list of activities for patrons to be entertained while consuming graham mango and it by-products. Headliners will be Tarrus Riley and LUST.

Tarrus Riley who is touring heavily this year to promote his Contagious CD and has been popular on the charts for some years now, especially with his most popular song to date “She’s Royal”, also with hits such as “Beware”, Protect Yuh Neck” and “Stay With You”.

The Group LUST which is comprising of four talented and melodious singers coming together to provide a blend of sweet musical harmony: Lukie D, Thriller U, Singing Melody and Tony Curtis. The Awesome Four.

Also appearing on stage will be gospel singers Noreta Lewis, winner of JCDC Gospel Song Competition back in the 90s, who has been doing well on gospel concert stages all over the Island; and Tameka Houde, winner of Gospel in the West Song Competition 2009.

The event will be hosted by Lady Mystery, the Mysterious Lady Radio and Jenny Jenny of HITZ 92 FM.

Roots Reggae singer/songwriter Mystic Bowie will be performing at the 22nd staging of Western Consciousness. Western Consciousness is one of Jamaica’s premiere calendar events, known for its presentation of artists of the highest standards. The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 22 at the spacious and beautiful Paradise Park in Savanna-La-Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica.

Since the launch of his latest album “Nevah Kiss and Tell”, in Jamaica on November 10 and his appearance at Negril Escape Winter Concert Series alongside Tarrus Rile on November 17 last year, Mystic Bowie has not performed on the Island and his fans are hungrily looking forward to see him on stage with his energetic vibes and the positive messages he always delivers.

The annual Delveland Mango Festival in Delveland, Westmoreland Jamaica will be held on Sunday May 30, in the community. The event is a community based project which was initiated to showcase creative ways of using the fruit. Mango is a seasonal fruit and this time of the year the fruit is harvested all over Jamaica. Delveland is known for and has become very popular because of the abundance of Graham Mango plants in the community. It was with this realization that the community decided to host this event to invite mango lovers to the community to let them see how mango can be utilized in various ways to make enjoyable, delicious by-products.

Of all the display booths that will be at the event I’m sure most patrons will be checking out the Boston Style Jerk Mango Dish, which will be introduced for the first time in the history of the festival. Think about Boston Style Jerk chicken and pork, which is very popular and craved by Jamaicans and visitors to the Island and imagine what it would be like to finally taste Graham and other mangoes prepared to wet the appetite and the taste buds.

In addition to the mango displays, a family oriented entertainment package is included in the list of activities for patrons to be entertained while consuming graham mango and it by-products.  This year’s staging will feature: Read the rest of this entry »
