URB officially co-signs on two shows going down Sunday both featuring legends in the game. No excuse if you miss these.

 

Sunday, July 6

Central Park SummerStage

3:00 - 7:00 p.m. 

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80

Afrika Bambaataa

Love Trio with U-Roy

FREE!

 

Seun Kuti is Fela's son playing with his father's original band. Bambaataa is one of the architects of hip-hop universally known as having one of the most diverse music collections on the planet. U-Roy is one of Jamaica's original toasters and a legend in the game. For more info, go here.

 

Reggae Carifest

5:00 p.m.

USTA Tennis Center, Flushing, NY

With Matisyahu, Midnite, Groundation, Meta and the Cornerstones and Lee "Scratch" Perry.

 

This lineup is worth the money for Perry alone. The other performers will be hot but the king of Jamaican music rarely performs in New York and this'll be his only appearance on his current tour to support his upcoming album coming out on Narnack and co-produced by Andrew W.K.
