WARRIOR King–
Roots singer Warrior King heads to Europe for the second time this year, for shows in France, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands.
A mix of festival and club dates, the first gig is Rast’Art Festival on June 12 in Caen, Normandy France.
The following day, Warrior King is at Studio Club in the commune of Cergy. On June 14, he travels to Vienna, the Austrian capital, for a show at the Fania Live Club.
Warrior King, who toured the continent in February, enjoys performing in Europe.
“The people are very receptive to reggae, very appreciative. Is like dem can’t get enough of the music,” he said.
The stocky Rastafarian first worked Europe in 2002, shortly after hitting with the number one songs, Virtuous Woman and Never Go Where Pagans Go.
He made his debut at a festival in France.
He spoke of the difference in playing festivals and clubs in an interview with the Jamaica Observer.
“With the clubs, you can be a lot more intimate with the audience…go one on one. The festivals, yuh really feel the energy of the music an’ the people ’cause is not you one out there working,” he said.
Warrior King recently released the song, Same Source. His new album, The Roots Warrior, is scheduled for release in July.
