Jah Cure thrilled fans in Trinidad
Jah Cure performed to over 15,000 strong at the Hasley Stadium, Port of Spain in Trinidad over the weekend.
The show which was hosted and produced by Crab Connection was dubbed The Next Chapter in the Life of the Cure' was an overwhelming success attracting one of the largest audience for the year from what YardFlex understands.
According to a review published in the Trinidad Express, Cure took the stage to a rousing welcome around 2.15 am yesterday and performed for over an hour as the massive crowd sang along and patrons screamed their appreciation throughout his set.
His mesmerizing performance was interrupted only by two wardrobe changes: the first came about 20 minutes into his set, as it was announced that he would film the performance of his new single "Freedom" as part of a video for the song and, the second, as he returned for an encore that left the masses completely satisfied.
"He sing everything dey," remarked one young lady afterwards. "All my favourite songs and more that I didn' even know so good. And he sound real bess and he look real good. I get my money's worth. He was
definitely worth the wait. I love Jah Cure!"
"It was a great show," said 96.1 WEFM managing director Anthony Chow Lin On, who was in charge of marketing the event. "It's been a long time since a reggae show has attracted an audience of that magnitude and the people got exactly what they came for: a night of pure consciousness. As far as Cure's delivery, I think that was probably his best performance since he came out of jail."
