sunsplash

it's official finally! the woodstock of reggae music is back. reggae sunsplash festival will be held in 2006 in ocho rios. if the right artists are to perform, this might actually be an apotheosic moment for reggae fans across the world, at least it seems that way for me.

sunsplash was the revival of live music and the gathering point for all major reggae artists like jacob miller, eek a mouse, third word, burning spear and bob marley. from 1978 to 1997 the event proved to be an unforgettable experience but in the latter years the show kept bringing less people. 9 years have passed and the jamaican music scene has grown a lot, i'm sure that a legendary mega show is the best way to get many artists worldwide attention and reggae fans a couple of memories that will be there forever... imagine the scene! jamaica, beach, coconut rum (if no bacardi), cristal clear yet extremely loud reggae, dancing, the agony!, my empress, locks, more reggae!, more rum, more dancing, more of her... and mi chalice, mi sweet little chalice.

sunsplash has toured all over the world in it's past editions, let just hope they do it this time in case, just in case, we don't happen to go to jamaica.
