On Wednesday, January 25^th, Karamanti and Mikey General got together in Seaview Gardens in Kingston, Jamaica, to shoot the official video for their single, “Back Against The Wall.” The song, which was released at the end of 2016, has been getting heavy rotation by countless reggae selectors (radio, club and street) from all over the world.

“Back Against The Wall” is the leading single from Karamanti’s EP, which will be released at the end of February. The song can be streamed and downloaded via: https://karamanti.bandcamp.com.

The video was directed by Karamanti and shot by Mackamilli from Musical Xtremist. It is now being edited and will be released in February ahead of Karamanti’s upcoming EP. Here is what Mikey General had to say about the video shoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyIC4miFfeE

Trinidad’s new network, GT (Great Things), which can be viewed on the Synergy platform, has just contracted recording artist Karamanti to act as the company’s Brand Ambassador for Jamaica. Karamanti’s commitment to the organization will include, but are not limited to, ensuring that the GT brand gets maximum visibility on and in some cases, off the island.

GT’s CEO, Ancil Harris, approached Karamanti with the idea a few days ago and she accepted. The two have been friends for a while as Karamanti was the featured artist on The Vault – a TV show produced by one of Ancil’s production company – a couple years ago and has also collaborated with one of his artist (JB) on a soca track.

Karamanti has been confirmed for the Kwanzaa Yawd Niceness concert on December 31st at Ellis Estate, Sherwood Forest in Portland, Jamaica.

Also on the lineup for Kwanzaa Yawd Niceness is reggae veteran, Mikey General as well as Hezron, Digicel’s Rising Star, T-Rizzy, Tolerance and Jemineye. In addition to live performances, there will also be Poetry Reading, Story Telling, Prizes and Surprises; most importantly, the promoter – Grow Youth Universal – is not charging an entrance fee and of course, all are invited.
