MIRAMAR, Fla. — South Florida’s Caribbean culture will take center stage in Miramar this weekend as “A Journey to Kingston” brings together some of dancehall and reggae’s biggest names for a night of music and nostalgia.

The concert, set for Saturday from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Miramar Cultural Center, will feature performances by Spragga Benz, Wayne Wonder, Ky-Mani Marley and other guest artists.

“We’re going to give you what it feels like, being in Kingston around our time, our era which is the 90s, early 2000’s,” Benz told Local 10’s Alexis Frazier.

Event organizers say the event is designed to recreate the atmosphere of Jamaica’s dancehall scene, complete with island-inspired décor, food and music.

“So we’re looking forward to bringing that energy on stage, and making the audience feel like they’re back in House of Leo or one of those famous dancehalls in Jamaica,” Benz said. “We want to create the atmosphere of that as well.”

Organizers say part of the proceeds from the concert will go back to Jamaica.

Benz also said the show reflects the longtime friendships between many of the performers.

Wayne Wonder and Assassin — they’re really good friends of mine, schoolmates,” he said. “Our journey is different from that of other artist(s). We have a lot of things that intertwine, completely separate from music.

Wonder also had kind words for Benz when being interviewed by Frazier.

“Spragga is like my number one. Great family, great friend,” he said. We actually went to the same high school, so he’s my classmate also."

He also reflected on the inspiration behind his music.

“I write from a good place,” he said. “It has to be something that gives me that spark to start the conversation, then I put my pen to action.”
