Mr. Boombastic turns “symphonic” for one night only in San Diego, as Shaggy joins forces with the San Diego Symphony and conductor Steven Reineke at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park! From the beginnings of mento, ska, Rock Steady and Reggae to modern Dance Hall, the multi-GRAMMY® award winning artist presents a survey of Jamaican popular music, including his own culture-changing contributions to the tradition, featuring “It Wasn’t Me,” “Angel,” “Mr. Boombastic” and more. Shaggy performs with his band and the San Diego Symphony Orchestra.
