SET RELEASED
FAB 5 FOR IAAF GALA IN MONACO
Jamaica’s
most versatile band, Fab 5, will be in Monte Carlo this weekend to
perform at the prestigious “IAAF Gala” at the Grimaldi Forum on
Sunday, November 23, 2008.
The Gala is a live
television event, beamed around the world, where the International
Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF) hands out their annual awards.
The feature event of the evening will be the naming of the
IAAF Male and Female Athlete of the Year awardees.
Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, an international sensation, is
expected to be crowned King of the Track for 2008, beating off the
challenges from Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele and Cuba’s Dayron
Robles.
Veronica
Campbell-Brown and Melaine Walker were both short listed for the
Female Athlete of the year award but finished 4th and 5th
in the voting. It is
believed that the invitation to Fab
5 is a direct result of the tremendous performance of the
Jamaican team at the Beijing Olympic games and, in particular, the
fantastic unprecedented performances by Bolt.
This year, the global television audience is expected to
increase – due, again, to the popularity of the lanky Jamaican
sprinter from Trelawney.
Fab 5 will perform a
special version of their tribute to Bob Marley "Once In A
Lifetime" which was originally released on their all-reggae
album "Dugu-Dugu". The song has been specially
reworked to pay tribute to Usain Bolt and his Olympic
accomplishments. Fab 5 will later be playing dance music for
the celebrity audience headed by Prince Albert.
