The continent of South America is regarded as rich, fertile soil for the planting of reggae music, so it was with a "special joy" that singer, Duane Stephenson, packed his bags and journeyed with the Wailers to Brazil at the end of April.
An eight-city tour, which started in Curitibra and spanned through the capital Brasilia, Salvador, Porto Alegre, and on to Brazil’s famous Rio de Janiero, among other cities, was the perfect way for Duane to spend 12 musically exhilarating days. Duane had received his South Americanbaptism on a previous sojourn to that continent, which had also included performances in parts of Central America, all of which helped to lay the foundation for his memorable return visit.
Despite putting in some hard work at building his career there, even Duanehimself has confessed that he was surprised at the vibrant welcome he was given by his growing fan base in the Americas.
