Third World, one of the longest-lived reggae bands of all time, is beloved by audiences around the world for their seamless mix of roots reggae with R&B funk, pop, rock, dancehall and rap.

While the band played roots reggae, they have also incorporated other styles into their music, and it was the initial influence of The Wailers, who will also appear on Sunday, Feb. 28.

The Original Wailers certainly own reggae chops, for band co-founder Al Anderson was guitarist for
Bob Marley & the Wailers, the group that defined reggae.

Third World’s style has been described as reggae fusion. Singer Bunny Rugs described the band’s sound: “Strictly a reggae band, no. Definitely a reggae band, yes.”

Guitarist Cat Coore said of their music: “The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because, by growing up in Jamaica, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time we live in a country where you get to hear Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and all the R&B artists.”

Bassist Richard Daley said “we took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it.”

In addition to General Eyes, Central Florida area bands playing at the fest include Lights Out Project, Coastal Breed, Part One Tribe, The Supervillains, Kash’d Out, Heritage Band, Charee White, Cotta, Janna Ivey, Funkle Fester.

To keep concertgoers well-fed, seafood restaurants and vendors from around the country are heading to Port Canaveral to participate in the three-day event.
