Etana on historic Grammy appearance ahead of JaGhafest 2019 in Ghana

Best Reggae Album Nominee, Etana hit the red carpet and strikes a pose at the 61st Grammy Awards Ceremony.

Etana who is billed to perform in Ghana at JaGhafest (Jamaica Ghana Homecoming Festival) on March 9 and March 10 was super excited about the whole experience. JaGhafest is a brainchild of Edge Of The World Production.

Reggae’s reigning queen, Etana is the first Jamaican female nominee to be a part of the Grammy’s live red carpet telecast. According to major global media outlets, she represented well for her country and genre. Multiple outlets placed Etana on their Best Dressed list. Not only is this a win for the singer/ songwriter, it is also a win for Jamaica’s fashion industry as her dress was custom made by a local female designer.

With offers to wear and promote world famous luxury fashion brands, Etana politely declined. She was unwavering in her decision to use Melissa Dunkley, a popular fashion designer. She chose a pink ensemble, that highlighted the underrepresented females, in the male dominated industry of which she is a part. Etana also selected pants opposed to a dress, indicating she was just as strong as her male counterparts.

According to Etana, “I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to attend the Grammys. I accomplished my objective of making the most of the opportunity. I am thankful to my fans for their continued support, Andre Morris, Tads Records, Sharon Burke, Junior “Heavy-D” Fraser, Tarrus Riley, Gramps Morgan, Dj Courtney, Jessie Adleman, Khambrel McPherson, Clive Hunt, Chevaughn as well as all the singers, musicians and engineers who made this project possible.  I applaud all the media outlets that featured me in their Grammy reviews”.
