Although not as ram-packed as its been for other reggae shows featuring wider known acts such as Sizzla, Anthony B, Beenie Man and Capleton, on May 9 the Zen Nightclub in Port of Spain was still filled with patrons feeding off the vibe of German reggae artiste Gentleman and the Far East Band.This reporter must admit that it was amusing to see him speaking about fighting against oppression of his people as well as burning Babylon.

The singer and band had the Zen crowd moving in unison and singing along to every song presented on the night. Even at the end of the performance the audience continued calling for more.
