Cocoa Tea, Capleton electrify Patsy C. Lake Festiville
Following a number of local acts, Cocoa Tea got the action going on stage but later on during his performance he began to complain about the sound system. It was apparent that he could not hear himself as he sang, which is necessary for someone performing on stage.
A lot of the times he killed the musical accompaniment and performed A Capella to the delight of the audience, many of them Rastafarians. He performed such songs as Good life, Rockers Island, Sonia and 18 and over, Prisoner of Loneliness and If You Want to be My Number One.
He also did covers of other reggae artists including Beresford Hammond and Robert Nesta Marley.
Following Cocoa Tea's performance there was a brief two minute performance by Jah Thunder, clearly an enthusiastic fan of Capleton, as at a glance, he has costumed himself to appear like the artist. The tribute artist’s on stage antics and vocal style also paid tribute to Capleton, who came out after Jah Thunder left the stage.
Amidst thunderous support from the audience, Capleton performed those hits he has become known for, such as Who Do You Think You Are, Jah Jah City and new ones such as Bun Out the Mad Guns Dem and Acres and Acres, an ode to the legalisation of marijuana.
During his almost two hour performance, Capleton stayed true to his roots and called on persons to remain true to themselves. He called on persons to ‘bun’ or shun societal ills such as rape, incest, abuse and other ills. His lyrics, however, were devoid of anti-homosexual sentiments known in the artists’ music in times past.
Capleton had the crowd putting their lighters in the air and some persons had aerosol cans that emitted a luminous blaze in the dark.
While the attendance was good, people started to leave coming down to the ending of Capleton’s performance, around minutes to 4am this morning August 1, 2015.
