There were fireworks at the Jamaican dancehall star Busy Signal’s show that was held at the Glamis Stadium on Saturday.
Fans had a treat of their life as the dancehall icon proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is one of the best in the field of reggae music.
His coming on stage was met by loud cheers and whistles from the packed ground full of dancehall lovers who could not wait to sample songs live from the man himself.
Clad in a blue suit, the dancehall star proved that he is not only loved in Jamaica but also here in Zimbabwe.
He sang songs from his past and new albums and fans could be heard singing along showing that they really know and love his music.
Songs like Reggae Music Again, Sweet Love, Dreams of Brighter Days, Gambler, Come Over and Sweet Love left fans in ecstasy especially those who had their loved ones with them singing along while enjoying the marvelous tunes.
The man could not also hide the feeling that he was also enjoying the presence of his fans who had travelled long distances to witness him performing live on the stage.
“I’ve travelled around the world and met many different fans but Zimbabweans you’re the best, you know music unites people and makes the world go round,” said Busy Signal while on stage.
Apart from the dancehall star the day was made brighter by the performance of the local dancehall artistes like Seh Calaz, Winky D, Dadza D, Bounty Lisa, Soul Jah Love and Jah Prayzah who managed to rock the show with their outstanding performances.
Of interest was the introduction of an 11-year-old up-and-coming dancehall artist identified as Genius who came on stage when Dadza D was performing and made the crowd go into a frenzy with his antics. The young kid has a promising future, and if groomed properly will reach greater heights.
Killer T proved that his bag is still loved by a lot of fans as he was called back on stage when he performed most of his songs from the Ngoma ndaimba album with fans being left in a frenzy by his performance.
The young lad sang some of the past tunes like Bicycle which left fans in awe due to the outstanding performance.
Fans could be heard expressing their satisfaction with the spectacular performance from Busy Signal which lasted for almost two hours.
“Busy Signal is a star man, comparing him with the past foreign artistes who visited Zimbabwe, he managed to steal the show.
“It was one hell of a show and the crowd here can testify, fans had a wonderful night and I can’t complain,” said one fan identified as Sean.
“I travelled all the way from Gweru for this show and it was worth it, I can’t complain and I can safely say that my money didn’t go to waste. The man is good and has proved that he knows what he does best,” said Simbarashe.
The night was however full of different activities and it seems that it has become the norm for the youth to be involved in violent clashes as some youths could be seen exchanging blows.
With the fans that had come from different places in Zimbabwe to enjoy the show parking space was inadequate, fans were forced to park along Samora Machel Avenue as well as in Belvedere as the one inside the gates could not accommodate the cars that were there.
Unlike the previous performances from other dancehall artistes who visited Zimbabwe, Busy Signal has managed to dispell the notion that the foreign artistes flop whenever they come here to perform.
