Reggae By The River Part 3

Reggae by the River was literally ON the river this time around. But... Let me start at the beginning: First of all, the selectors and organisers met with Queen Easy at the venue Hafenklang, near Fischmarkt in Hamburg to catch up on things, set up the sound system and eat.

We then walked from the venue along the harbour to the quay to take a tour on the boat "Hedi" around the Hamburg port. And luckily, the weather was on our side! It was a sunny day even though it was still a little cold outside.

On the boat RootzFaya alongside Selecta Moe were selecting foundation tunes from Ska to RockSteady and Reggae all on vinyl while the boat was rocking away through the port. Check out the turn-table base hanging off leather straps! Even those who don't usually listen to the station but took part in the public boat ride were taking in the positive vibrations and we all enjoyed a glorious sunset with a rainbow in the distance. I tried to capture this event as best I could with my amateur lens because I was still not able to replace the one I broke in an accident last year.

In attendance were the artists Lilian Gold, Donald Minott, Caroline Castelli aka Sista Caro, Dirk IRebel, Armando Quattrone, Fullanny with the Bosh Crew and Le Prince, Cunnie Budd and the selectors Mr. Feelgood, RootzFaya (Elwo and CleanFaceRasta), Sam U Roy, DJ Fonz and Yendis, who is a member of the management, Dags, who is a member of the promo team and the operator Queenie. LadyCoopz, who is also a selectress on ReggaeSpace came as a guests along with all other regular listeners RoRo, Netta, Guddy, Colognemassive, Yardriddim, Vienna, Anne de Ruiter, Anne Heese, Andrea Luise, Sista Gardy, Reggaelady, Climbnotrees, Jahmix, Tosh, Micho, Crucial B, Rastababskie, Strobel, Anja, Andre, Micha, Imsa, Robby, Malik and Mike.

Again the show was transmitted live via the internet on ReggaeSpace and I was happy to see many of the regular ReggaeSpacers and other people from Hamburg again after more than a year. What a wonderful vibe it was! Big thanks to Queen Easy for organising this meeting third time in a row and once again also to Micho for the delicious vegetarian food! Hhhmmm...

Raging Fyah in Hamburg

Raging Fyah came to rock the venue Fabrik in Hamburg, Germany on April 10! I had seen and met them all at ReggaeJam last year so I couldn't wait until their next performance. The band had a fantastic show once again. Everyone was high on their vibes.

Raging Fyah are
Kumar Bent on guitar and vocals
Delroy Pele Hamilton on bass guitar and vocals
Demar Keysei Gayle on keys and backing vocals
Anthony Watson on drums and backing vocals
Courtland White on lead guitar and backing vocals

You can reach them on Facebook. Their album "Judgement Day" is available on Amazon.

It was such a pleasure seeing you again and we all hope it won't be too long until you come back with your new album. But in the mean time, have fun touring and creating happiness around the world!
