he process was simple, drop a K 5ifty,
get tagged and enjoy. The masses turned up and R&G Events (@RandGzambia) delivered the goods as always. Don’t
believe me? There was even a mobile FNB
ATM (@FNBSA, @FNBZambia), enough said. With one nation gathered under and
in the groove, the 2015 Flying Fish
Beach Festival was a befitting way of welcome the summer on a spring
Saturday (time frame is blurry). From Dj’s to TV personalities to public
figures and tweeps, everyone was at the beach and the selfie count definitely
went past the thousands as the party raged on into Sunday morning. If you are
reading this and were not at the Gymkhana Club, you missed out on sipping some
cold Flying Fish, summer anthems and
the 10’z roving the park including models such as Miss International Zambia Mercy
Mukwiza (@Mercyswit).
With two stages on either end of
the beach, as far as music is concerned which was the elixir fuelling the event
(the Flying Fish was also at work), it was the battle of the mongoose VS the
snake between the astonishing bill of Dj’s. The white tent was House central
under the auspice Dj Shotz
(@Shotzismyname) and co. who churned out hits such as Lime by Electrobrain
and Gotta Tell you by Deepjack and Mr Nu. As the house played on, Savanna award
winning club Dj HuSseiN (@SupastaDJ)
dropped bombs and did damage on the main stage dropping club hits including
Kendrick hit record King Kunta which brought the funk that kept people moving
and singing along. Fist Pump Bear
Sebastien
(@sebastiendutch)
took over the
main stage with a spell binding and energetic performance which kept people’s
hands in the air with tunes such as Rude by Magic. His set also included a live
performance by Kiki (@kikisingszed)
performing original material produced by him, and What You Gonna Do by the duo (who are on the cover of the R&G Magazine 2015 Issue) was
performed and heard live for the first time. Kiki is a breath of fresh air and
a welcome change from convention, the petit femme fatal packs a lot of soul and
oozed sensuality throughout her vocally seductive performance. I can’t wait to
hear the album eventually. Dj Blocks
(@DjBlocksZambia) the winner of the Miller Soundclash (headed to Las
Vegas), proved why he is indeed the man representing Zambia in Nevada as he
kept the hits coming such as summer sing along #Classic Man and other anthems.
The
G in R&G’s
outta ego Ba Guy came on the decks
an hour before Dj Zinhle (@DJZinhle).
As soon as he dropped his calling card smash hit by Nelly Hot In Hear, Fish (a
big Nelly fan since high school) filled up the Flying Fish tent as he kept the
masses jiving to dance floor fillers both new and old skool. However when the
clock struck 9ine on the dot, the superhero had other ideas for the main stage
but not without Ba Guy putting up a fight. All along however the headline act
had a plan (besides looking summertime fine and in great shape), which she
enacted after dropping cult hit Cheerleader and then really switched things up
with Dj Merlon’s (@djmerlon) Koze Kusa.
There is a reason DBN (@DbnNyts) Nyts
feat. Zinle Ngidi &Trademark is permanently on my “Dawn of Summer”
playlist, when the Dj drops #Shumaya
you immediately begin to gyrate and develop rhythm in seconds. When fisherman’s We Call Out all out came on
after Shumaya, Zinle had succeeded in teleporting the non believers and those
on the fringes to the mash pit of the main stage. When she dropped The Drummer Boss Heavy K’s (Heavy Kusta) (@HeavykDrumboss)
Yini tjooo, I was overdosing and
near comatose from the hypnosis of Zinhle’s prowess behind the decks spinning
house standards in tow. She delivered like the house queen she is, all hail the
maestro and Her Name is really ZINHLE
and Lusaka say thank you and much love. Tjo,
way to set off the sunny days ahead.
Zinhle was handling business (as
a boss lady should) on deck so I couldn’t disturb her for a selfie (but there
will be a next time when ama also get to hold an ERA piece), but I vicariously took one through my compadre manning
security Big Sam aka Samuel Mutale (@Joshua_Samuel_). I know
using your super powers you are reading this @DJZinhle. Celebrity sightings of the day included Cleo the Ice Queen (@Cleo_icequeen) from Big Brother and now host of Dreams
season 2, rising riddims and Crystal Ball rap artist Mic Burner (@Micburnermsic), Bombshell (@MizzBombshell) The Burg/Nkani
Yalula (ft. Jay Rox) fire spitting Mc and the disc jockey K Army CEO and producer Kb “Killa Beats (@killa_kamy) was also mingling in the crowd. The
biggest shout out is reserved for my tweeps/followers/following,
starting my the fashion savvy No.1 festival (2 for 2) partner in crime
