I must tell you now, now… That night was my Mount Everest ’top of the world’ kind of night.
Opened with ‘Certified Freak’, the full-on heart+fire #CarlaPrata who joined #Iminente from her #SouthLondon base, to express what the site coins as her “thrilling and cinematic alternative R&B sound’ – in [Angolan] Portuguese.

Now the stage is perfectly hot for #SisterNancy with #DJGravy to transfuge the night. She's one of a kind in its full meaning, yes truly ‘An Original’ female pioneer of "the male-dominated world of Jamaican dancehall where she continues to blaze new trails 40 years after the release of her first and only album”.
She’s is the scriptwriter of ‘Bam Bam’ that Pitchfork ranked: ‘The Best Dancehall Song of All-Time’! She occupies the stage leaning slightly down and with full blast and swagger calls out “Lisbon” as if the name of the best baseball team of all time!
And from her venerable age, she proud name it as 61 – made of eternal irreverence, she asks, 'What’s wrong about smoking weed? Who’s smoking weed here?’ Who dares raising a hand is instantly granted a title of nobility. Yeah Man! She is the blason / the milestone / the vibrant stature and statue of the most powerful force in Jamaica – always and forever, Women.
