The courtyard was transformed to a blaze of colour , movement and shimmying bodies moving to the rhythmic drum beats of Mento, Ska,Reggae from percussionist Ru.CL

Posted on September 2, 2010 by jigziemusicdance

Queen Jigzie has been invited to perform the Jamaican national anthem at other public events. Her vivacity and powerful performance combined with her Jamaican heritage, made her the perfect choice for this international netball event.

The Holden Netball Test Series has delivered brilliant netball, with three matches between the Netball Diamonds and Jamaica’s flamboyant Sunshine Girls and then a battle with arch-rivals the Silver Ferns. The competition has shown international netball at its best, and has given fans a chance to see the three teams in action before they head to Delhi in October for the Commonwealth Games.

I love bringing the rhythm, the energy and the passion of Caribbean music and dance to audiences all over the world.

Combining the experiences of my Jamaican roots and childhood, education in England and living in Australia, every Queen Jigzie performance encompasses richness and depth.

Please review this site and then contact us for information on bringing this energy to your next concert, festival or event.
