Trip to Jamaica maaaaaan!!!!

Hn9 and The Wailers from Hectic nine-9 on Vimeo.

Hectic Nine-9 attended the press conference and concert for "Stand Up with The Wailers".
The concert was held to raise awareness for the protectionof the last three rhino's in the Western Cape. All proceeds went to the RhinoProtect organisation.

This Friday, 27 April, was Freedom Day in S.A. This public holiday commemorates our first post-Apartheid elections in 1994.
Here at Hn9 we got the chance to share this day with legends of the musical industry The Wailers. This group is the longest-standing backing band of Bob Marley and they were in the country to headline the Stand Up concert, held in association with RhinoProtect.

Your girl Laurizee was at the event representing for the Hectic family, read about her experience here:


Wow, I have had one of the most amazing loooooooong weekends ever!!!!!!

Starting on Friday I got the awesome opportunity to go to the press conference of The Wailers and later on that night attend their concert as well ... IT WAS CRAAAAAAZY!!!!

For those of you who do not know who The Wailers are, please inject yourself with some life, they are only the BIGGEST reggae band on earth. They are Bob Marley's longest standing band, and some members have been playing together since he was alive.

Interviewing them at the press conference was really amazing, because these guys are super intellegent and support the idea of youngsters getting themselves educated and at the same time nuturing their talents (music/dance/sport).
They also care about the environment and animals that is why they are involved in the Rhino Protect Campaign.

They are also thee most amazing performers ever! Oh my word the spirit of the legendary Bob Marley was definitely there on Friday night. They brought so much Jamaican flavour, from their look, to their accents, to their dancing - it was a truly cultural experience.


This was indeed the highlight of my long weekend, and I think I will start a fund pretty soon to go to Jamaica.
And you all shall support it * evil laugh*

Below, I have posted a pic of myself and two main members of the band. There's also a video of our interview with them - enjoy!

Peace and love, guys. x
