The rain washed out the Socca Reggae Festival this year. It rained on the Friday evening and Saturday all day but Sunday the sun came out and so did the people. Considering everything it was not a bad showing. However, many watched from the sidelines too cheap to pay the $5.00 to enter the event.
It was disappointing for me because there was no real talent from outside Winnipeg except for the Limbo dancer. She did a fantastic job and was the only act I thoroughly enjoyed. Lolita is from Barbados and a very talented woman. She had the children all trying out their limbo styles. Perhaps she might be available for Folklorama as well.
I know we must support our local musicians but sometimes it's nice to hear something different. The local performers were great at what they did but it would have been more intersting with some outside talent as well. Having said that, perhaps the outside talents had to be cancelled because of the weather.
Big up for the MC he was an entertaining act all by himself. He said he was new to the city but he talked as if he was around here all the time. Good job.
The illustrious EMCEE trying to do the limbo - it took to helpers to hold the bar higher than the pole (LOL)

Can you go any lower? I don't think so.
Rockalypso - the "go to" band - willing and ready to back up any singer in Winnipeg. Backed up Charlo the Calypso King of Manitoba and Jennel-Marie a local singer.
