Shaggy & Friends concert
Here’s more info about the upcoming 2010 Shaggy & Friends concert! The concert is a huge event in benefit of the Bustamente Hospital for Children in Kingston, Jamaica, which is the only pediatric children’s hospital in the West Indies. Its facilities to provide adequate care for sick children are stretched to the limit due to a lack of resources. Although Shaggy has made significant contributions to the hospital over the years, the Bustamante Hospital for Children is still in need of assistance.
The Shaggy & Friends concert which will take place on the lawns of Jamaica House on January 2, will feature Shaggy with special guests Joe, Mario Winans, Boyz II Men, Mykal Rose, Beenie Man, Baby Cham, Queen Ifrica, Ding Dong, Toots Hibberts, Busy Signal, Tanya Stephens, T.O.K., Alaine, Ce’Cile, Machel Montano, Sanchez and many more!
