Now as the summer concert circuit heats up, Penco will be taking centerstage at Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, Jamaica on Friday, July 24. Billed as "International Night," Penco will be sharing the stage with the likes of Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson and Jazmine Sullivan. Sumfest is touted as the best reggae show on Earth and Penco is one of the few reggae artists that will be bringing its authentic sounds to the thousands of international tourists who journey to Sumfest each year.
"It's a great accomplishment for me to be performing for the first time at Reggae Sumfest," states Penco. "Sharing the stage with Ne-Yo on 'International Night' and representing reggae music on that line-up and that stage is a big step for me."
Back with his new single "Most High," Penco composes a more cultural theme than the romantic "Thousand Miles," in a timeless conscious tune that laments the guidance and protection offered by the Rastafari faith. The single is already climbing the charts and finding fans in reggae aficionados everywhere. "It's a prayer for me now to further my career and for Jah to guide me along my journey," reveals Penco. "It's doing well in Jamaica, as well as the U.K. and Canada and I'm looking forward to performing for my fans there soon."
With two consecutive hit singles, Ras Penco is tapped to be the future of reggae music and someone reggae fans can count on to deliver solid songs that define the soulful genre. Stay updated with artist news and tour information by logging on to www.myspace.com/raspenco.
