Impressions: International Reggae Day

LargeUp teamed with BIG Magazine and Miss Lily’s to celebrate International Reggae Day July 1. Broadcasting live over RadioLily.com, LargeUp’s DJ Gravy held down the sounds, while dancehall great Nardo Ranks, Japanese melodica player Anna I and LargeUp’s own Martei Korley performed live, and guests including Tifa, Miss Pat of VP Records, artist Isis Swaby, model/Miss Belize Chantae Guy, and designers Greg Burke and Brent Rollins passed through. Photographer Richard Maitland snapped a few pics.
