Third World
Headlines Coexistence Festival In New Jersey |
 NEW
YORK, NY May 3, 2007: Legendary Reggae Ambassadors and
the Caribbean's foremost multi-culturalists, Third World,
will be performing at Coexistence Festival, Friday, May 18th
at the State Theatre, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
The award winning, world-renowned band hits the stage in New
Jersey as part of a celebration of culture and diversity in
a three-week festival of art and music. With an impressive
resume of now classic and roots reggae cultural hits and
appearances at some of the hottest venues world wide, the
inimitable Third World will use this appearance to showcase
the power that Caribbean culture has to build bridges, mend
fences and passing on reggae's message of Peace, Freedom,
Love and Unity.
Caribbean cultural forms and reggae music in particular has
consistently played an important role in raising
consciousness, fighting injustice and promoting peace across
the world stage. Not coincidentally, the Caribbean continues
to shine as a beacon of diversity and coexistence with its
celebrations of people from Africa, Europe, Asia and the
Middle East.
The relevance and force of Reggae's "message music" is
evidenced by its continued selection as the music of choice
by artists from distant lands who seek to engender
understanding and acceptance. |

The Coexistence Festival tackles the hot button issue of
coexistence and diversity by promoting peace and
understanding through dialogue and interaction using the
vehicles of music and the arts. It is an event that
celebrates and promotes appreciation for ethnicity and
diversity within our community. With the festival's
centerpiece as Exhibition Coexistence, a large
billboard-sized outdoor art exhibit curated by the Museum on
the Seam, Jerusalem, the exhibit honors the universal
message of diversity and acceptance through murals created
by artists from around the world.
Thirty-four years ago, Third World begun a journey of
spreading positive and progressive "vibes" to an
international community with hits such as "Reggae
Ambassadors", "96 Degrees In The Shade", "Forbidden Love",
"Committed", and "Try Jah Love," written by Stevie Wonder.
They have been recipients of several awards, including the
UN Peace Medal, the Jamaican Music Industry Award for best
reggae band (in 1992 and 1996), as well as seven Grammy
nominations.
