"Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events. "

"Oh man! Where to start! I had seniors with Parkinson’s up and dancing! The upbeat, energetic music mixed with Caribbean-esc vocals had my seniors (ranging from 80 to 95 years old) up and moving like they were 20 again! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you so much for bringing so much life to our senior community!"

"Makes my job so worthwhile…… TRIPADVISOR Hedgehog638 Edinburgh 21 contributions Truly amazing night with family and friends June 2025 • Family Wow, what a fantastic evening we had. The beef cheeks and prawns were to die for, and Barrington was the icing on the cake, perfectly executed, and really made the whole evening special. Thanks to the wonderful staff who were so attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. We're already looking forward to our next visit. 3 days ago Top restaurant in La Manga club Came as a group of 10 ladies and had a brilliant evening. The food was excellent and they had a singer called Barrington on who was really good. Lots of music to dance to! Every single meal was delicious, a beautiful setting and very friendly and helpful staff. Maybe more expensive than other restaurants at La Manga Club but well worth it - we'll be back next year!!"

"History: At the end of 2022, Ras Maxx David decided to put together a new reggae band, after more than 15 years leading the roots reggae band Shakti I&I. That's how he got together with Johan, Clot's kid, on guitar and Tomas from Argentinian Córdoba on drums. The first line-up had Ronald Salamandra on bass and Andres Tosh on keyboards, both Venezuelans. On vocals, they collaborated with Monica, Ursula, Carlota and today with Alba. The current lineup features Mel (Ras Kuko, Roe Delgado, Gadys, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on bass guitar, and Dontai directly from Puerto Rico (Shakti I&I, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on keyboards. Juanele completes the equipment from the sound console with live dub effects. They have premiered at the Palau St Jordi at the Biocultura 2023 fair, at several major festivals in Barcelona (Poble Nou, Navas, La Sedeta) and several famous clubs in the city (Jamboree, Marula, Diobar, Almo2Bar, BlackLab, Estraperlo, Garage Beer, etc.) Ras Maxx David is presenting his latest LP titled "No Competition".
