On Friday, the final night of this year’s first Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise voyage, things got a little wet. Performances were moved inside to the atrium, site of last year’s epic finale performance, where, instead of a live band, artists performed with the backing of sound system Renaissance Disco.

Among them were Capleton—aka King Shango—and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, who united to deliver their collaboration “It Was Written,” from Marley’s 2001 album Halfway Tree. Watch below, and click here for more live videos from the Jamrock Cruise.
