Mey Vidal is a stunner. She was the centre of attraction for many at the Reggae Sunsplash launch in Ocho Rios, St. Ann over the weekend for her sassy moves, and her melodious voice.
Born in Cuba, she left at the age of nine where she lived in Panama, then Costa Rica before finally settling in South Florida. She specialises in an eclectic mix of music which includes reggae, reggaeton and Latin reggae.
"There are a lot of Jamaicans now in Florida, and I just love reggae music and I have to give props to the roots. Lots of people choose to like ignore it, but reggaeton came from Panama, and then when the Puerto Ricans began to sing reggae songs in Spanish, and then when it moved to New York, it blew up all over the world, but I have to give props to the roots, this is where it started," she told YardFlex.Com.
Her debut album, 'Esa Cubana' (That Cuban girl) will be released soon, and she will appear on Reggae Sunsplash on August 4. Look out for her singles, 'The Tide is High', 'You Want My Body', 'Talk About Love' featuring Da'Ville and 'Coco Jamboo'.
She has appeared on a number of television stations such as Telemundo, Unavision, Mun2 TV and channel 41.
Here's looking at you girl. 'Mey' you have a great career.
