My friends went to this show and had a great time. Was this your first all-night show in Jamaica? I went to Dancehall Rock last November (2005) and we went to Rebel Salute in January and that was TOTALLY special, very Rasta. I loved Rebel Salute well over Dancehall (even though I had VIP passes for Dancehall)...the vibe was much, much gentler. It is great to be at a REAL and TRUE Jamaican musical event.

My friends did enjoy this show (much closer to where they live in Negril than Rebel Salute too) but were miffed by all the gay-bashing in the lyrics and tenor of the artists. They were also bummed that Luciano only played like 2 songs before he had to leave for a prior engagement (at least he showed up!).

If you'd like to read/see some of our experiences at Rebel Salute, please help yourself:

It was such an experience I had to write about it in two parts!

Hi Rastagirl777 thankyou for sharing your experiences with me!Yes this was are first all nighter and we left that morning after the show.Our friend Omar told us about the day of the concert we quickly offered other tourists the opportunity to come and most declined and one couple that came with us where told how unsafe it would be to attend the event in the hills outside, these where guys had been to Jamaica 5 times before and never felt comfortable leaving the resort how sad they missed so much and the four of us let the whole hotel know how safe we felt, safer than our own country Canada!Our driver Raymond who we have used for years was so great again and got us there and stayed all night too,we gave him 2 hours notice.Anyone who needs a great driver Raymond number is 876-382-3793 he picked up our daughter and 2 friends and welcomed them with a sign right outside customs.Raymond is known far and wide by the jamaican people and means it when he says one love!
