Lila Iké
Reggae starlet Lika Iké was certainly the highlight of Day 2 of the first-ever, virtual Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival last night, which also saw headliner performances from Jah9 and Mortimer. Lila took center stage, assisted by a six-instrument band and two backup singers to lay down melodies from her esteemed musical collection off her debut EP,
Her performance went a little over 30 minutes, just enough time to slake anticipations of the online fans that all tuned in for the show. Lila entered the stage in a striking ensemble, rocking a heavily patterned pantsuit bearing an eclectic patchwork of Marilyn Munro faces paired with Nike shoes and an elaborate box braid hairdo tinged in blue streaks with fuchsia-colored beads at the ends.
