Protoje and Sevana bring the reggae revival heat to Jazz Fest’s opening weekend, cementing the festival’s role as a launchpad for the genre’s contemporary vanguard. The two artists represent the new guard of conscious reggae—Protoje with his introspective lyricism and production nous, Sevana with her ethereal vocal presence and roots sensibility—both carrying the torch for a generation reclaiming reggae’s spiritual and political moorings.
Their presence at Jazz Fest signals what’s become undeniable: reggae isn’t a heritage act anymore. It’s living, breathing, and reshaping itself in real time. Expect the kind of sets that remind audiences why this music still moves souls and shifts consciousness.
