Reflections in White…an elegant start to “Curefest”
By: Elizabeth Smith
Spruced up and re-vamped, Trelawny sits pretty today with its new stadium and developing highway. In like form, Jah Cure has experienced the beginning of what can be termed his re-birth; copped with his freedom, sell out sound and most importantly oodles of adoring fans.
Dressed in full white, avid fans came out to ram the Starfish Trelawny Beach Hotel, on Jamaica's North Coast for day 1 of the long awaited "Curefest" – a rhythmic celebration of liberty. The soon to become annual reggae music fest had the hotel hopping on Friday, October 12, as they delivered top line services, delectable dishes and fine beverages to a room full of revelers who could be closely likened to floating clouds, with their white garments and genuinely ecstatic demeanor.
Purity that white denotes permeated the atmosphere, leaving joy, peace and love as foundation for one of the most enjoyable and meaningful evenings ever. Between champagne toasts, hugs, laughter, dancing and genuine good cheer - came solid entertainment organized by "Curefest's" production team of Danger Promotions, Iyah Cure Promotions and Brass Gate Promotions.
Titled "Reflections," the all-inclusive celebratory event was hosted by Jah Cure who asked "strong chanting" Etana, Karen Smith, Live Wyya band, ZJ Smurf and ZJ Electra to lead the musical renditions for the evening. Unfolding in utmost style, the party was laden with elegance and charm, with its crisp white formal setting.
Jah Cure firmly announces, in his first single written while free from prison, that the day has now come that he will be free and seen. This recent release touches the soul of many, as its lyrics can be metaphorically ascribed to many ordinary situations as well as the extreme.
"Now the day has come you will see me again," also hints that that world will always be seeing Jah Cure from now on...it speaks to his ultimate reprieve.
Spoken of by fellow "all-whiters" as one of the best gatherings ever, the all white "new birth" session rocked, despite the earlier fears of heavy rain throwing a damper on the Fest. Many marvelled aloud at the miraculous change in weather, that saw almost 2 solid weeks of torrential rains ease up suddenly, only 3 hours before the inaugurating "Curefest" event. Many kept saying, "Jah Cure is surely blessed."
Close to 2:00 AM a pipe broke in a bathroom causing flooding directly outside the ongoing party. The water was quickly removed, while the celebration continued to swing with plenty dancing, hugging and best of all - laughter.

Wow, what can i say! Those pics r off the chain. A new and positive beginnig of the life of a man who was once incarcerated and dubbed as a rapist. He has gotten the chance to redeem himself and he is making use of the opportunity. Undoubtedly many will have degrading things to say but in this life it is IMPOSSIBLE for everyone to be in favor of u.
All those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
Continue doing what ur doing my artiste and u will shine. Show all those person in similar situation that disappointments do come and u have to be persevering and tell ur self its not the end of the world.

Some of you people who are casting stones yuh si...mine the same stone come back and f**k unuh up. What do some of you suggest, thathe continues a life of crime. Rob steal and rape some more? And with that evidence (or lack of I should say), they cannot get me to believe he did it. Jah Cure I love you. One love. The women love you. That says a lot. Mostly men coming on talking sh*t bout rapist. Show me some DNA evidence. It was available at the time. They should have used it. Until then love him or leave him alone and shut up. Badmind will kill some a unuh!!

Big up to Sherine.. It is truly impossibe for everyone to be in favor of Jah Cure... To the haters... We laugh at you.
People, it's your choice to pass of a humble singer. The less you listen to his music, the more opportunity there is for others to blaze it!!
Blessings and One Love
