Philadelphia, PA (July 12th, 2011) Caribbean soca star Shurwayne Winchester, and his full band Y.O.U. will perform, along with R&;B headliners Estelle, Melanie Fiona and Anthony David, for the 5th Annual Global Fusion Festival (GFF) on Saturday, July 16th, 2011. The FREE concert, produced by the Philadelphia Multicultural Affairs Congress (MAC) as part of PECO’s Multicultural Festival Series, runs from Noon to 8:00 pm at Penn’s Landing.

Born and raised on the island of Tobago, the smaller of the twin-islands of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, soca artist Shurwayne Winchester is one of the genre’s most popular performers.
