Rototom Sunsplash 2017 #celebratingafrica – Review part 2
Day 5 – Wednesday 16th, August 2017Beenie Man was probably one of the best, if not the best performer of this week. He has performed no less than 25 tracks. Beenie Man spitted hit after hit flawlessly. “Come Again,” “Row Like A Boat,” “Badman Story,” “Who Am I,” “Romie,” “Let Him Go,” “Bookshelf,” “Toy Friend,” “Miss L.A.P.,” and the list goes on. The self-crowned King of the Dancehall, was unstoppable despite the fact that he’s “not 25 anymore and cannot jump on stage” like he used to as he said. But I assure you, he’s one of the best live performer of his generation in the Dancehall industry.
Day 7 – Friday 18th, August 2017
This year, Chronixx was here not only to represent the Reggae Revival Movement but also to promote his official debut album “Chronology.” As usual, the young Reggae artist was very laid-back and humble. He entered the Main Stage with much sobriety. He didn’t waste his energy jumping around all over the stage, even though he did dance a little alongside.
Looking forward to next year’s edition
As usual, the team of the Rototom Sunsplash put up great efforts to deliver one of the best festivals of Reggae music in Europe. We only covered musical events but in addition to all those amazing shows, there were many conferences and forums. During the day, you could learn a lot about African and caribbean cultures, music etc. at the African Village or the Reggae University. Every day, there’s entertainment and music for everyone.In 2018, the Rototom Sunsplash will be celebrating their 25th anniversary. Until then, you can check out their official website for more info, pictures and videos: rototomsunsplash.com
