It does not happen too often that after 12 hours of listening to the concert we have the desire to repeat it immediately… All of it! Also not too often it takes us 7 hours one way to get to venue and what’s more, one of us is suffering cystitis… so she is listening to the music mainly from ToiToi…
There are more and more artists coming on and off the stage (we remember Okonko, Tristan Palma, A J Brown), and with every minute more people are gathering at Port Kaiser Sports Complex. Then Tony Rebel himself goes out on the stage – and in the same time we realize that Mikolaj’s blue PASS does not allow him to join other photographers to take pics from below the stage… !?! With every note of the music our sadness and frustration are growing… And from the stage you can hear more and more sweet music… Toots and the Maytals (!!!), Tarrus Riley, David Brooks aka Mavado, Queen Ifrica…
Telling the truth, it was just before the sunrise when my health condition got a little bit better (Inga and Pilatus, thank you again for newest medicine parcel!) but we gave up as till that moment had no interviews and there was no sense to be worried more.. It’s better to enjoy the rest of the concert! :)  And Beres Hammond and Fantan Mojah were just about to perform!
So unfortunately we did not make good enough documentary about Rebel Salute 2011. We really hope to come back one day so we’ll do better :) Meantime, you can have a look on these many Rebel Salute 2011 videos you can find out about the event on YouTube… 
And…
Please be welcome to listen to an archive interview with Queen Ifrica (Trinidad, 2008) – from the day when she was not as popular as nowadays… You’ll hear there also Tony Rebel talking about their beautiful show...Enjoy! 



P.S. Because of technical difficulties we'll publish the pics from Rebel Salute 2011 in next njus...
