Windhoek Jazz festival

This past weekend was the long awaited Windhoek Jazz festival and guess who was our imported artist: "LIRA", so you can just imagine. I went all out. Am just inlove with that woman's music and the way she caries herself.

We arrived at the show and obviously as always, I had my girl with me: Uda Shilomboleni, we are just good sport together. This was the arrival:

I really don't know what she did there, lag!!!

 

If you need good company and just want to have fun, no matter what event, she should be a part of it, lol. Crazy, just like me and totally just fun to be around.



 It was still quite empty as people were still streaming in and finding themselves a place to sit before they got something to drink. As you know Uda and myself, the bar ofcourse was our first pit stop as we've entered the venue!!!

We were listening to the performance's lined up and it was so good. I just love live musicand when it comes to jazz, I will be there. I have a lot of respect for our Namibian acts that performed with live bands and they were quite good, I must say.

Persey Rinquest was up first, if I am not mistaken. You should remember him from my previous posts here!!! Well, he was even better at the Jazz Fest. This guy has a John Legend vibe and that's quite good. He should get a good manager/promoter to make him grow and be exposed. He totally had my blood boiling, lol!!!

 

 

I am quite a proud fan of his and yes, his number one fan!!! lol!!!

Myself and Persey (John Legend)

Well done Mr. You should be proud of yourself, but now you need to get some work done and get a CD out there please!!!

So, now I want to brag, lag, that's just me. My cousin is part of a jazz band and they were up next. They were really good and they are from Rehoboth. They were totally having fun on that stage themselves from what I've witnessed. Please do forgive me, but I really didn't get their name, lol, anyways am very bad with names, whether individuals or bands.

 

I don't know how I feel about this woman's voice. Sorry, I haven't really had the opportunity to sit and really enjoy her music. But what I can say is that she can definately entertain a crowd. I must say the Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston numbers rocked gal. She had the crowd on their feet and totally having fun with her performance.

 

Please do tell when this gal has a performance somewhere again, I need to be there in order to get her under skin, lol, not literally, lag. I just want to appreciate her voice and singing, maybe am missing something. But neither the less, she had a fair performance.

I've really had a lot of fun and met a lot of my friends that I haven't seen in quite some time. It was really just amazing to see the crowd and see different people and personalities coming together to enjoy the same thing: JAZZ!!!!

Indira, Myself, Uda, What is it with the shoes?

Indira, that dress killed me totally, you looked fabulous. Udacious and those shorts. You've totally rocked it my friend.

Perfect picture after quite a few attempts.

Mercedez and Uda (DIVAS indeed)

A lovely woman joined us as well. I love this woman so much. Thank you very much Julia for joining us and boy-oh-boy, she looked fabulous.

I had to take this caption.

 Oh yeah, and this is Uda's doing. Secret: Uda just loves shoes, and I must say beautiful shoes. She will die for a good pair of shoes.

 

We took "bersie" with this year, that blue blankie is so handy. She is all in one, lol. But we love her too bits. Things got a bit hectic at some point that I literally had to search for my crew, lol. But yeah, that's when the Heineken got too much and nobody warned me that Heineken is a killer, lag.

 Some pictures of some of the other perforers, like Lize Ehlers and Shishani and all of them that also performed:

Lira then took the stage and OMW, I just went crazy, lol. Uda and myself ran to the front and were jumping around like crazy, but she was so worth it. I had so much fun and just loved her performance. This woman has a stage presence and the way she knows how to entertain her crowd is just something else. I am a proud fan and yes, did I mention that I had a lot of fun?

And I was really praying that she would wear a yellow dress, don't really know why. But I can remember telling Uda that a yellow dress will just close the deal and then this bomb diva took the stage in this lovely yellow dress and I literally died, lol.

 

Beautiful indeed and fantastic performance dear. You were just fantastic. Worth the headache, saw throat, exhaustion and everything. It was all so worth it. Thank you miss Jazz diva (Yes, that's what I call you, LIRA!)

It was indeed an event worth attending, I had so much fun with everyone and all the performances.

Till next time chikas.

Mwah!!!
