Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, yesterday (Mon) welcomed home Grammy-winning artiste, Koffee.
Minister Grange met the artiste at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.
It was the singer’s first time returning to Jamaica since winning the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in Los Angeles, California on January 26.
