It’s been a little over a month since Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, but artists are still banding together to help the island nation rebuild.

On Dec. 16, Grammy-nominated dancehall pioneer Yellowman and roots reggae icon Johnny Osbourne will headline Nice Up Jamaica, a LargeUp-backed benefit concert set to grace New York City’s Brooklyn Bowl. Coming straight from Jamrock especially for this show, Yellowman will be assisted by his longtime backing group, the Sagittarius Band. Osbourne’s set will also feature support from saxophonist Anant Pradhan and percussionist Larry McDonald, who will both perform a joint set of their own. Additional Jamaican music giants set to perform include Screechy Dan, Red Fox and Yaadcore & Di Yaad Man Dem.
