Thousands of fans were dazzled by Dawuni and his 10-piece band, ensuring the roots reggae musician a triumphant return to his ancestral home land of Northern Ghana. The 8th annual event also featured Northern Ghanaian stars Sheriff Gale, Abu Saadiq, Mama Rams and Sirina Issah who all put on outstanding performances.

Cary was most recently the Curator of Cafe Z a free music series which ran every Saturday at the Skirball Cultural Center from May through October featuring fantastic live music from all over the world.
