Well, been that Mr. Michael “Ibo” Cooper having formal training at music schools in Jamaica and given his international experience it seems that it was a no-brainer for the Groovin in the Park Executive to have Ibo Cooper bring their vision to life. So as the musical ensemble come together, concert goers are lining and getting their Groovin in the Park Tickets. The promoters are hoping to break last year’s attendance record of entertaining over 20,000 people without having one INCIDENT in the crowd not by wishing but by putting a package together that consist of the best available Legendary Reggae Artist.
