The Cool Ruler is back! One of the biggest names in world Reggae in Brazil! See all dates!

Celebrating 40 years of a successful career across the 7 continents is not for everyone, and Gregory Isaacs, one of the greatest names in Jamaican Reggae of all time, shows why he is loved in every corner of the world in each of his performances.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE LEGEND

Gregory was born in Kingston, capital of Jamaica, in the early 1950s and faced a very difficult life from the beginning, taking on a series of jobs. Always attentive to music, a gift that was revealed to him later, the "Cool Ruler”, as he is called in Jamaica, began his career in 1968 with the single "Another Heartache". Since then, Gregory Isaacs has been winning people's hearts more and more with his INCOMPARABLE number of hits such as "Tune in", "Soon Forward", "Slave Master" and "Night Nurse", which was even re-recorded by the group Simply Red. To this day, Gregory is one of the artists with the most successful songs recorded in the world, with his beautiful love songs as his trademark, sung with full feeling and originality. On his 2009 South America Tour, his new album - "A Brand New Me" (Um novo eu) - will be released, and it will certainly have tracks included in his hit repertoire. The artist continues to hold the attendance record for Jamaican Reggae in Brasil after drawing crowds of 20 to 30 thousand people, as happened at the recording of his DVD in 2004 in the country. Intershows.net will bring this giant to South America and dates are available from the first week of November, so do not waste time and book yours now!
