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
Debo Ras on the mixing board and also 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!

Busy Signal • Gentleman • Silly Walks

Busy in Hamburg on March 28, 2013! This was my hype from the beginning of the year and nobody I knew was actually sure he would really be able to come! This visit was long overdue after the last album “Reggae Music Again” he had put out in 2012 was a huge hit while he was being held and under examination in the US on charges from many years ago.

So when I saw photos of Busy traveling to Germany on the same plane as Raging Fyah at the beginning of that week I was happy and loaded my camera ready to shoot this event! Unfortunately, I didn’t remember they are very punctual at the venue Fabrik in Hamburg. So I was late for/missed House of Riddim Band backing Perfect Giddimani. I just managed to get one photo of Perfect chilling backstage before they headed off to their next stop.

The place was packed out! Everyone wanted to see Busy perform to the sounds of the High Voltage Band who are Lamont Savory on guitar, Kirk Bennett on drums, Aeion Hoilett on bass and Brenton Mesado on keys from Jamaica. Busy tweeted later: “Germany get flattened!! Hott Ed!!” and I must say, it’s true!

 

There was talk before of a surprise guest before the show and this guest was waiting in the wings watching Busy perform. It turned out to be the one and only true “Germaican”: Gentleman! But before he came on stage Silly Walks Discotheque played such a wicked set including tunes from their latest hit albums “Storms of Life” and the “Honey Pot Riddim” while Gentleman and Busy posed for photos and did some interviews backstage.

Then it was time for Gentleman! This man always brings the crowd to the boil simply by his presence. It was so nice to see him live and direct in a smaller venue. Everyone was enjoying the vibes to a maximum!

Since it was a little difficult to get around the place during the shows I didn’t get to take photos of anyone in the audience until the very end. I had seen so many people I know but I didn’t catch them all on camera. So I hope to see you all this week for the Raging Fyah show!
