I didn't know I was a Maxi Priest fan till I was actually bobbing my head to familiar hit songs of his during the performance this past Saturday. The non-conventional Reggae artists with #1 hits including "Wild World", "Just a little longer" and "Close to You", had middle-aged women crooning to all his songs at Zanzibar On the Waterfront.
He's one of my dad's favorite artists and of course pops was shaking and bopping to all Maxi had to offer as well, sigh. Considering this was the first time I'd ever seen Maxi Priest in person, I could not help but find some resemblance with him and Ice Cube... Maybe a 'dreaded-up' Ice Cube could pass for a Reggae artist.

Bob Marley & the Wailers are iconic and so were Al and Junior Marvin, I prayed my pictures would do them justice. This is my first reggae concert without my dad and I hope these pictures express my ten thousand words.

My homeboy Neil, prez of Caribsa, invited me to a concert his organization and SGP hosted at the Phillips Center on Friday night. I could not pass on the opportunity to photograph two former members of Bob Marley's band, Al Anderson and Junior Marvin. They are talented and the event was packed. I just had a nagging feeling that the music was good, but could have been better. Maybe it was because something was missing--perhaps, the rest of the group. (more pictures to come)
