amaican songbird Tessanne Chin will be headlining
the Oracabessa Festival - 'A Celebration of Caribbean
Culture' - at Roy Wilkins Park in Queens, NY
on Memorial Day, Monday May 26. She will be performing along side Beenie Man, Konshens and Assassin.
The event which is in its first year is
organized by Bobby Clarke, CEO of
Irie Jam radio. Clarke had this to
say about Tessanne’s performing
in the Tri-state area.
"We are just thrilled to have the opportunity to present Tessanne and her fans in her very first, full length performance in the tri-state area,. "Irie Jam radio has had a long relationship with Tessanne and her sister Tami. We were strong supporters during her journey on "The Voice," encouraging radio listeners to vote each week. She is an extremely talented singer and the sky is the limit in terms of what she can achieve in the music industry" he noted.

Tessanne's anticipated performance in New York is expected to attract large support from her Caribbean fan base as well as garner mainstream attention. The singer has been a regular fixture on American television since her first appearance on "The Voice" last September.
Chin
last performance in the USA was at the White House in DC, where she was a
special guest of President Barack Obama
and wife, Michelle Obama for the 'Women of
Soul' concert.
The program, which will be broadcast April 7
on PBS, included performances by Melissa
Etheridge, Aretha Franklin, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae and Jill Scott.

I enjoyed your post. I think emotions play a massive part in building inspiring and effective teams and I recently blogged on the secret sauce of team work. Rather than repeat it here I thought I'd post the link and I'd be very interested in your thoughts.
