Internationally acclaimed Jamaican reggae star Jah Cure is set to perform in Zimbabwe at the Glamis Arena on April 29. The concert, dubbed “Together As One”, is being organised by Red Rose Entertainment. He is likely to share the stage with Winky D, Jah Prayzah and Judgement Yard.

Jah Cure is expected to give revellers a time of their lives as he has become the most anticipated international artist.

He has many hit songs popular in the country, which cannot be said for other Jamaican artistes who have flocked in the country in the past years, who had one or two popular songs.

His first big break came in March 1997 when he released the single “King in this Jungle” which was a duet with Sizzla.

The single was produced by Beres Hammond who went on to become his mentor. He then released a steady stream of singles that won him critical and popular acclaim.

Beres Hammond eventually took Cure under his tutelage and began mentoring him and producing his music in the studio.

Jah Cure married TV Host/Producer Kamila Mcdonald on August 7 2011 in Sandy Bay Hanover.

On 20 February 2012 the couple welcomed a baby girl named Kailani Belle. Their daughter’s name means “Beautiful Chief from the heavens”.

His albums include “Free Jah Cure the Album the Truth” (2000), “Ghetto Life” (2003), “Freedom Blues” (2005), “True Reflections . . . A New Beginning” (2007), “The Universal Cure” (2009), “World Cry” (2012) and “The Cure” (2015).
