A ST. MARY MI COME FROM
A St Mary Mi Come From is an annual stage show promoted by reggae artist Capleton and first held in 2000. After a 3 year hiatus the show was back in full force for its 12th anniversary edition in 2016. What characterizes the event is that there are a huge number of artists on the billboard, not in the least because they want to pay respect to Capleton. Furthermore, young and upcoming artists are excited to grace the stage and see it as their chance to show themselves to the community. Finally, proceeds of the show go to selected charitable projects in the parish of St Mary. It's Capleton's way of giving back to the community, something that is expected of Jamaican reggae artists. Over the past 15 years, the concert has generated JMD 8 million for charitable projects in Capleton's home parish.
