Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend a reggae concert in Costa Rica, for the first time since I arrived. I went to a place called Geko Tower, which was twenty minutes from the international airport in Costa Rica. The place was jam packed with people dressed in Rasta colors and African outfits, which reflected the culture of reggae music. The event was loaded with popular artist such as Black Uhuru,and Fanton Mojah. When I first arrived at the event, people were waiting in anticipation.Jamaican/African flags were waving, and people were swaying back and fourth, listening to the mellow sounds of Bob Marley, and other passing greats. The vibes were evident, as people were drinking and smoking, soaking up the vibes of the atmosphere. When Fanton Mojah came on stage to perform, the crowd went electric! Jumping up and down, singing along to their favorite songs. What made his performance so memorable, is when he asked a couple from the audience to come up on stage, and profess their undying love for each another, as the crowd looked on with excitement, making a spectikal of the moment. As the acts went on, the vibes circulated across the entire arena, as flags and lighters went high in the air. The last performance was given by one of reggae's most popular groups, Black Uhuru, who had stellar performance, singing most of their recognizable hits. At nights end, the arena was congested and there was nowhere to walk, as the crowd moved closer to the stage. At the end of the night, you can tell that everyone was exhausted, enjoying the day of sweet sounds and positive vibes. All and all,from my feedback, I believe fans got their moneys worth.
