Bare Skinz Negril boosts party revival with Shaneil Muir and Tommy Lee Sparta

Dwayne Parkinson says the latest Bare Skinz staging has strengthened his belief that Negril is ready to return to the front line of Jamaica's party scene. The event, led by dancehall acts Shaneil Muir and Tommy Lee Sparta, drew strong reactions from patrons and stakeholders, which Parkinson said is a sign that the town's entertainment rebound is taking shape.

"We're happy we could deliver two of Jamaica's best to the town of Negril. Tommy Lee Sparta and Shaneil Muir were a perfect combination for tonight," said Parkinson of Damage Musiq Group. He said the reviews from the audience were encouraging and that patrons had been giving very favourable responses. "I'm grateful for the support from the authorities, sponsors, patrons and all who contributed to the success. This is us moving to bring that resurgence to Negril," Parkinson said.

Bare Skinz Negril was held at Wavz Beach last Saturday and brought out an energetic crowd looking for a strong night of entertainment. From the opening moments through to the closing performance, the show kept the resort town firmly in the dancehall spotlight.

Shaneil Muir took charge of her set with a confident delivery and quickly pulled the audience into the performance. She moved through songs including 3D, Top Gyal, Naturally, Hype and Boasy and Likkle Miss, building an immediate connection with the crowd. Muir also shifted into a more reflective mood with The Pain, Lose To Win and Same Guy, while fans stayed locked in and sang the lyrics with her.

Tommy Lee Sparta brought the event to its close with a forceful set that maintained the night's momentum. The deejay, known for a commanding stage style, performed Buss A Blank, Protocol, Under Vibes and Rich Badness, with each selection earning loud approval from the crowd.

During the set, Tommy Lee Sparta paused the pace to share a message about self-love and self-reliance. He soon returned to the music, giving fans Spartan Angel, Blessings and Holding Out The Pressure. The energy remained high as he added Psycho and songs from the popular Control rhythm, including Control, before leaving the stage with Cyber Freak, a final selection aimed at the women in the audience.
