Portlanders start Petition for Iyara to Perform on Sumfest
To the people of Portland, Eric Somers better known as Iyara is more than a mere recording artiste, to them he is a shining symbol that demands respect.
Following the release of the much anticipated performances list for Reggae Sumfest 2016, most people are astounded as to why this talented powerhouse did not make the cut. Many Portlanders have sought to understand this plight and have since started a petition to get Iyara to perform on Sumfest 2016.
So far the document being circulated has over 1,500 signed signatures pleading with the organizers of the show to give the artiste a slot to perform.
“I have known this young man for many years. He has never given up on his parish; he has always helped in some way to raise capital for Portland and to put us on the map. If Iyara performs at Sumfest it will be a great day in Portland. “ Said one Portlander
When quizzed about this development, Iyara said he is not surprised that his community has made this move because they have supported him immensely over the years and likewise he has supported them.
“When you have the support of your community, it is a feeling of greatness and pride. I feel humbled and I know whatever the outcome I will be happy.” Said Iyara
The “Pressure Cooker” artiste is also looking forward to his performance at Portland Paradise Weekend, taking place November 11-13, 2016. Iyara will be giving a portion of his performance fee to the Titchfield High school for the development of an English and Language Lab.
