By: Krysti Deal Phone: 561-450-7953 E-mail: Krysti@MagicalPlan- When it comes to fighting the odds and shining in the face of adversity, few have a track record like Yellowman. At every turn, he has taken the hand he was dealt with the deck stacked against him and before long had the house playing by his rules and cheering for more. General Manager Alex Polazzo conveyed the venue’s enthusiasm about bringing Yellowman to Delray Beach. “We feel the positive energy Yellowman brings to the stage is a perfect fit for the Pineapple Groove atmosphere, and we’re excited to welcome such a talented artist with such a rich history in the reggae/dancehall scene. ” Jamaica's first dancehall superstar, Yellowman ushered in a new era in reggae music following Bob Marley's death. His early-'80s success brought the popularity of toasting -- the reggae equivalent of rapping -- to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. Winston Foster grew up at Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston, Jamaica. From birth he was forced to battle both poverty and the social stigma of albinism, which was usually not socially accepted in Jamaica at that time. He attended the Alpha Boys School, run by Catholic nuns established in 1880 as a "school for wayward boys", it became renowned for both the discipline it instilled in its pupils and the outstanding musical education they received.
