The Miami Reggae Festival | April 30th, 2011

(Miami,
FL March 29, 2011) The people behind Rockaz MVMT, a premier event
production company with over 15 years successful events to date,
understand the importance of using the transformative force of music to
stir social conscience, to actualize social change. That is precisely
what they aim to accomplish with the launch of a national Feed the
Hungry campaign, using free, first-rate concerts to incentivize people
to help feed America’s hungry. The national initiative kicks off right
here in Miami, with Miami Reggae Festival, Saturday April 30, 2011 – 3
pm at Coconut Grove’s Peacock Park.

“It’s
important we start in our own back yard,” said event organizer Alfonso
Brooks. “It’s doubly important we not wait for a natural disaster to
recognize the growing hunger epidemic, or to seek out ways to help our
brothers and sisters.” The concert, where the only admission is a
minimum donation of two non-perishable food items per person, features a
lineup as diverse as Miami itself. From Jamaica – Luciano | Puerto Rico
– Cultura Profetica, Colombia – Ephniko, Haiti – Jahfe, Canada Bonnie
Casey, Miami – Spam All Stars, St. Maarten – Connis, the musicians
themselves represent a collective conscious of cultural awareness, of
giving back.

“Hunger
knows no color, no creed,” Brooks said. “That’s why it was critical for
us to ensure we offer a lineup that reflects the Miami landscape.” And
it is just as important for the benefactor of the event to serve a
diverse population, ensuring the core message of unity and
humanitarianism. Event organizers chose Curley’s House because of its
reach. Curley’s House services the needy across Miami-Dade County,
regardless or race, creed, color, religion or sexual orientation.

The
initiative moves to Buffalo, NY August 20, 2011, | New York, NY
September 4, 2011, | Miami FL, November 19, 2011| New York’s Central
Park [Summer 2012].
