Internatio­nal Reggae band Big Mountain to hold concert in Puerto Princesa this 2020

- By Evo Joel Contrivida

The American Reggae Band “Big Mountain” is coming here in Puerto Princesa City for a one night concert. The band, behind the hit song “Baby I Love Your Way”, is set to perform in the beach front of Chez Rose Bar located at BM Road, Brgy. San Pedro on February 8, 2020.

Event Organizer Patty Lim is the Executive Producer along with Rose Dante of Chez Rose Beach Bar and Restaurant of “Big Mountain Live in Palawan”. It’s part of their Philippine leg tour that will start on the last week of January in major cities of the country.

The said one-night engagement will give birth to the City’s first ever Reggae Festival, and will feature four promising bands in Puerto Princesa that do reggae covers. They are now on the lookout and will set band screening soon for local artists that will share the stage with Big Mountain.

“We try to be as organic as possible, where people can have the feel of music while at the beach compared to being overly crowded, this one is a celebratio­n of love and peace,” Lim said.

The beach concert will have three divisions for its ticket audience: P500 for General Admission with standing room only set up, P1,000 for VIP with table number plus a compliment­ary 1 pitcher cocktail drink, and P2000 VVIP section with table number with the inclusion of 1 cocktail pitcher and a plate of appetizer.

Kiosks for sponsors are also available in the venue during the event, and it’s open to all the audience who will watch the show. A total of 1,000 tickets will be sold. Gates open at 7 in the evening.

Big Mountain started their career way back 1986 in San Diego, California with Joaquin “Quino” McWhinney as vocals and guitar, but it was 1994 when their song “Baby I Love Your Way” topped many charts around the world, and was used later on in many Hollywood films as soundtrack such as Reality Bites of Ben Stiller and Winona Ryder, and the second installmen­t of Jumanji. Their other hits include “Lean on me’, “Reggae Ina Summertime”, “Touch My Light”, and a lot more.
