In an influential performance last Sunday, June 30, Jamaican singer Jah Vinci captivated the Portuguese audience during his debut at the prestigious Festivals of Lisbon ’24. The event, held in the vibrant Praça do Município, saw Jah Vinci as the specially invited guest of Richie Campbell, one of Portugal’s leading music figures and the headliner for the festival. The collaboration between the two artists on the track “Silver & Gold,” featured on Campbell’s album “Heartbreak & Other Stories,” released in March 2023 under Bridgetown Records, added an extra layer of excitement to the event.
Jah Vinci’s first performance in front of the Portuguese audience was commendable. Reflecting on the experience, he shared, “It was a very beautiful experience for me and one I will always remember. The vibe from the crowd was different; they sang along to the songs. I felt good knowing I’ve come a far way. Most of the fans didn’t even speak my language, but it shows how universal music is.”
His words highlight the powerful connection music can forge across cultural and linguistic barriers, a testament to the global appeal of his artistry.
Looking ahead, Jah Vinci hinted at exciting prospects for his fans. “Well, my fans have to stay close and watch out for the movements. More shows, new music, and videos are on the way. Plus, this show was definitely a motivation to go harder for me and my team #teamnotnicerecords,” he added.
This performance in Lisbon marks a significant milestone in Jah Vinci’s career, promising more dynamic and engaging experiences for his growing international audience.
