-THE REGGAE AMBASSADORS-

Celebrating 50 years, THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived Reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock and, later on, dancehall and rap, Third World’s style has been described as "reggae-fusion". With 9 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charted smash hits, including (“Now That We Found Love”, ”96 Degrees in the Shade” and “Try Jah Love”) , spanning over four decades, sold-out tours, a vibrant and loyal fan base and inspirational messages, one may wonder, "Where did it all begin? What gives Third World the staying power so rare in the music industry?"

Reggae on the Lake was created and organized by Ramon Pardo, a Realtor® and co-owner of TERRA Properties.  Ramon has been a resident of Lake Anne of Reston for over 25 years. After contracting Culture, an internationally known reggae band to perform at his wedding in Jamaica, he wanted to bring some of that “magic” to Lake Anne Plaza.  “Reggae music is the perfect symbol for the world we strive to live in. One of peace, love and unity” he said in a statement about the festival.
