Good day on this beautiful morning.

I must start by apologising for not informing people about the weekend that I turned out thoroughly enjoying. I went to a reggae gig at Bassline on Saturday where a French band called City Kay performed, very nice sound, almost reminiscent of Fat Freddy's Drop in some instances.

And then I find out about an event at the Alliance Francaise, Fete de la Francophonie where the reggae band was performing along with another French group, Under Kontrol. These guys are a quartet of beatboxers who have a nice fresh take on beatboxing - performing as band would with beats as well as vocals. Really impressive stuff.

So i'm posting 2 vids today for you to check out. Enjoy...I sure did.

Not the best pic, but the only I could find.

They sound so much better live, this vid doesn't have good sound but you get the gist of them.
