The annual show, which was absent for many years and has been plagued with woes of the summit was canceled a few times after police declared the site of Belmont inadequate, mainly because of lack of parking and estrutura.Foi tried to transfer the event to a nearby town, Savanna-La-Mar, for a bigger place Independence Park, but this time the family did not accept Tosh. For the first 14 years, the event was staged at Belmont, near the house where Tosh grew up and lives his mother and some cousins. When Tosh was murdered in 1987, never had official recognition, but his memory has never faded, particularly the efforts of Worrell King, a businessman and promoter. With the blessing of Tosh's mother, Mrs. Alvera Coke, King has tried almost alone to preserve the memory of the singer through the annual concert 'Tribute to Peter Tosh'. The celebration of the life, work and legacy of legendary Wailer, Peter Tosh, the monument in Belmont, Westmoreland, is a fitting tribute to one of the biggest names in reggae. Peter Tosh is considered by many to be an artist as legendary as his partner Bob Marley, a member of the Wailers, and many even believe that while Tosh received less recognition for his talent, was the person who revolutionized the reggae and Marley taught everything he knew . Just on the heels of revelry on the island of Bob Marley's birthday in February, they were free concert and festival realizadoss site of the Memorial of Peter Tosh and hosted by radio station Irie FM. Appropriately, the radio reggae, Irie FM has partnered with the property of Peter Tosh and do a marathon broadcast of the entire event live. And the music fraternity, is also well represented. The special mention of the 2011 event, held on February 27, should be made to the singer Richie Stephens, who, while still mourning the recent death of her adopted son, Cooper Cat, made this occasion something important enough to be present.

With respect and love in your heart for the reggae pioneers such as Peter Tosh, there was no way he could say no. And his performance was excellent. His first song, Picture on the Wall, has created a call for followers, but kept the momentum and continued his strong second song Do not Look Back by Tosh and Mick Jagger, has proven to be a great choice when Colin and invited on stage Nikki Burt to accompany you on track, the crowd loved it even more. The only flaw during the performances was the lack of monitors to gauge the performances of the artists. This affected all the performers from that monitor is a priority for any artist who sings in their tracks. However, the celebration was a huge success, so long live the memories of the Mystic Man, Peter Tosh.O artist and poet Mutabaruka Jamaican dub made the introduction of the event.
