Jimmy Cliff

Jimmy Cliff Jamaican Order of Merit|OM (born James Chambers, 1 April 1948, Somerton District, Saint James Parish, Jamaica|St. James, Jamaica<ref name="Thompson">{{cite book |last=Thompson |first=Dave |title=Reggae & Caribbean Music |year= 2002 |publisher=Backbeat Books |isbn=0-87930-655-6 </ref>) is a Jamaican ska and reggae musician, best known among mainstream audiences for songs such as "Sittin' in Limbo", "You Can Get It If You Really Want It", "Many Rivers to Cross" from The Harder They Come (soundtrack)|soundtrack to ''The Harder They Come'' which helped popularize reggae across the world, <ref name="Larkin">Larkin, Colin: "The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae", 1998, Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0242-9</ref> and for his cover version|cover of "I Can See Clearly Now" from the film, ''Cool Runnings''. It's one of life's great ironies that today, outside of reggae circles, Cliff is better known for his film appearances than his music. Even after a string of hits, the singer never quite managed to break into the mainstream, although in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he seemed poised for international celebrity|stardom.<ref name="AMG">[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:hifuxqq5ldfe~T1 Allmusic.com biography]</ref>

    Events for Jimmy Cliff

    Jimmy Cliff will be playing at these Events
    1. Jimmy Cliff at Folkets Park, Malmö on 2 Jul 2008
    Location: Amiralsgatan 35, 214 37 Malmö, Sweden
    2. Fontaine Festival on 3 Jul 2008
    Location: Liepāja, Latvia
    3. Estival Jazz on 4 Jul 2008
    Location: Lugano, Switzerland

    Estival Jazz Lugano è da anni il Festival gratuito più importante d’Europa. Ha sempre puntato e sempre punterà innanzitutto sulla qualità degli artisti a cui deve il suo prestigio e la sua gran popolarità.

    Al Jazz, in origine unico genere musicale proposto, nel suo programma Estival, da qualche anno e con grande successo, si affiancano anche proposte "World Music" per permettere ai suoi fedeli appassionati di cogliere il fascino culturale e musicale di un’offerta in parte ancora definita "esotica" e in gran parte ignorate. La presenza di quei musicisti ha una doppia valenza: oltre ad arricchire il panorama della conoscenza musicale, contribuisce a sensibilizzare il pubblico sui problemi più gravi che affliggono i loro popoli, le loro società.
