Wow...my last entry was 4 days before my 21st bday :( this isn't good lol I have to keep at it but its just lack of time between school work, work and other stuff I just don't seem to have time but soon with the help of God I will be back on the grind for 2kshine.
I felt the need to take a break from studying and write about my experience at Reggae on the Hill 2009. For those who don't know its an annual festival hosted by FAS Entertainment in Barbados. I never went before since I always had an exam the next day but I told myself its now or never I don't know if I will be here in 2010 so take the chance while you have it :)
But people....this show surpassed anything I expected! It was one of the most organized events I have ever been to in Barbados in terms of timing, performances, artistes change over, sound quality...it was just the bomb! My only con about it was the crowd as it seemed like too much people for the venue but that was a speck of sand compared to the pros on the day.
As for the performances I have to give credit where its due and all the artistes outdid themselves especially Buju Banton and Queen Ifrica who had the crowds wrapped around their fingertips with their lyrics and powerful messages. The show stopper however was none other than Mr. Moses himself who I have found a whole new appreciation for....BEENIE MAN IS THE BOSS when it comes to keeping you on your feet and putting 150% into every single moment of his performance...there was no faulting him on the hill as he was jamming with the audience to the other performances and then ended the show on a high.
All in all...my first Reggae on the Hill experience has left nothing but great memories with my friends who I have to thank for encouraging me to go....I don't regret one minute of it :) Props to FAS Entertainment and Digicel for a well organized and professional event ...cuz for some reason people feel that only international event planners can plan an event and it comes off well, but I know if they experienced that show they would have a change of heart....BAJANS could do it too and do it well if I may say so myself.
So its official...the only way I won't be going Reggae on the Hill again is if I'm not in Barbados, in a hospital bed or God forbid six feet under.
