BERES HAMMOND, CHAKA DEMUS & PLIERS, HEAD TO THE NEW JERSEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AUGUST 23!
During his four-decade-long career, Hammond has lent his signature, smoky-sweet style (often compared to Otis Redding or Teddy Pendergrass) to every kind of rhythm track – from the funked-up reggae jams of 1970s fusion (performed with his then-band, Zap Pow), to the lush instrumentation of his classic Soul Reggae LP, to the spare digital beats of his dancehall breakthrough, What One Dance Can Do , and its follow-up, A Love Affair (recorded in collaboration with Buju Banton). In recent years, Hammond has continued to blaze a trail of contemporary world music hits. His 2012 CD, One Love, One Life, is a laidback collection of lovers’ serenades that reached the top of the Billboard reggae charts.
Chaka Demus & Pliers is the Jamaican reggae duo of Chaka Demus (born John Taylor) and the singer Pliers (Everton Bonner), best known for their hit “Tease Me.”
