Kingston-born reggae legend Barrington Levy will play WOW Hall Wednesday night, March 16. Now 47, Levy has been performing on stage since the age of 14 and is known as “reggae’s mellow canary” for the strong and smooth tone of his vocals. If you know reggae, you know his voice. Barrington attributes his outstanding almost two and a half decade- long career to the infl uences of Dennis Brown and the late great Michael Jackson. Songs such as “Black Roses,” “Ragga Muffi n,” and “Under Mi Sensi” are staples of the genre, and Levy is a master of his craft.
