yesterday we spent almost six hours at malkin bowl in stanley park...enjoying some of the best reggae around. the "first annual sunsplash in the park" featured Burning Spear and Toots & the Maytals...a fabu double header! and though we missed the opening act Tropical Breeze, we enjoyed Chi Turner, Zukie Joseph, Alpha Yaya Diallo (our first taste of this wonderful local talent...but not our last!) and the always fun and spectacular Dubfreque. To be honest, we were dissappointed to see a new lead singer for Dubfreque at first...but she knocked our socks off with her powerhouse voice...so Dubfreque remains one of our utmost fave local acts to follow! :)
the clouds above teased us with the chance of rain all day, but by the time we got to malkin bowl the sun was shining and the feel good vibes were well under way. it doesn't get any better than sitting on the grass while smokin some and listening to such a wide array of talent!
...until you run into a friend you haven't seen for years! while Dubfreque was on stage we noticed a photographer taking many pictures...and boy did she look familiar...no way! it's Aura! and I had just come across her picture the week before and wondered to myself...'what's goin' on with her these days?'...well now I know! crazy! so if you're in the need of a wicked photographer check out her web site www.auramckay.com ...she has a great eye for the little things in life we usually overlook!
so it clouded over after a while...and we felt a tiny sprinkling for about a minute or two...but it never rained on the fun for all. it was a great day and we hope there will be a "second annual sunsplash in the park" next year...one love everyone :)
