The whole town was in a buzz over Caribana, the next day Steve and I cycled to the free concert on the Harbour front featuring Ernest Raglan and Barrington Levy. Ernest Raglan used to be in the Skatalites and in his seventies now is still pumping out his trademark guitar style over a rock steady ska rhythm section. We returned to the space later that night for Barrington Levy's set and it was rammed. It was really hard to get to a good vantage point. He went through a lot of my Barrington faves like Broader than Broadway, Living Dangerously, Black roses and Under Mi Sensi and jammed out a medley section of lot of his famed rhythms. He was very conscious and did a lot of vocals without the bands accompaniment.The way he got the band to mimic a d.j's rewind was cool. This guy has an amazing voice that left me inspired and his new material was awesome.
