A host of rappers
will lend their talents to Sting Miami 2006, an event organizers described as
a "Woodstock style peace festival" scheduled to take place in September
2006 at the Miami Bayfront Park in Miami.
Wyclef Jean, Ying
Yang Twins, Beanie Man, Luke, Trina and others are featured in the lineup for
the event, which takes place September 24.
The event is being
staged by FSBO Media Holdings and Survival Four Inc.
"The Sting
Miami 2006 concert represents a new era for the company with the specific goal
of producing and promoting events of international standards and quality,"
said Survival Four Inc.’s CEO Nerissa Toney. "Our plan is to capitalize
on the brand name event like Sting, which has established itself as a true reggae/dancehall
brand internationally."
According to Toney,
other Sting events are being organized in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, England,
Germany, Australia and Japan.
"We believe
the general appeal of reggae, reggaeton, hip-hop and R&B will allow us to
draw huge crowds and tremendous attention to FSBO Media Holdings," added
Steve Bazsuly, Chairman of FSBO Media Holdings.
Bazsuly also noted
that the companies are in negotiations with R&B songstress Mary J. Blige
to complete the festival’s lineup.
