Antilia,
Inc. Presents The Official Press Party For Machel Montano One Day After MSG Shows
The event takes place on Sat March 29th 2008 from 8pm - 1am at The Antilia Loft, 267 5th Ave, NYC, just one day after the artist's highly anticipated Madison Square Garden (MSG) concert series. Access passes will be granted exclusively to key members of the press and specially invited guests. Strategically conceptualized by Simon Khan (CEO, Antilia) alongside Leslie Cooney and Michael Ross (ADDICT Artist Management), the event focuses primarily on repertoire Montano has recently developed to penetrate the international market such as singles "Wining Season" featuring reggae sensation Shaggy, and "Defense (The Anthem)" featuring reggaeton veteran Pitbull and hip-hop artist/producer Lil' Jon. Montano is currently working on an "international album" to be marketed in the US later this year and will release more information at the event. Montano has already sold out the first of his MSG shows (8pm), and the second (12am) is expected to sell out within days. The artist's annual signature concert in Trinidad titled "The Alternative Concept" (view AC3+3 coverage) regularly draws crowds in excess of 30,000 patrons, and for the country's annual carnival festival he has performed to crowds of over 20,000 up to four times in one night! The event will bring together friends of Montano, US/Caribbean celebrities, peer artists (such as recent collaborators), Caribbean government officials and Caribbean private organizations who all firmly believe in and support Montano in becoming a mainstay on the international music stage. Miss Trinidad and Tobago Universe 2008 (view coverage), Anya Ayoung-Chee, will host the event proceedings, and leading Caribbean rum brand, Angostura 1919, will host a premium open bar for all attending guests. Antilia, a Manhattan-based special event production company focused on showcasing first rate Caribbean culture in the US, will regulate the event guest list to ensure a perfect balance between Caribbean/US personalities, key music industry players and members of the press. The company is reputed for attracting a trend-setting and taste-making audience with strong interest in Caribbean culture (see antilia.com). Machel Montano and his team, Simon Khan of Antilia, Miss T&T Universe 2008, a spokesperson from Angostura, peer Caribbean artists and celebrities, and many other important guests will all be in attendance and available for interviews with the press. The Official Machel Montano Press Party will be presented as one of the most high profile private events ever executed for a Caribbean artist in the US and is certain to receive extensive coverage from both US and Caribbean-based media.
