The girls in the crowd screamed enthusiastically as international dancehall recording star Khago hit the stage with his signature 'ah Khago' announcement.
Lighters and forwards greeted his 'Blood a Boil' with the white girls in the crowd leaping up to grab his hand or the foot of his jeans. He greeted the crowd with a 'good morning Boston, this is my first time here'. He then segued neatly into 'Gwaan Live My Life' and hands swayed in the crowd. Then he paused to address the large audience. "If yu have an enemy, mek mi see oonu hand, everybody need an enemy, my enemy motivate me fi rise up inna the morning," he said, before launching out into 'Nah Mek Dem Change My Energy'. Then he changed the tone of his performance by doing his current number one hit, Tun Up De Ting on the Overproof riddim, and dozens of lighters flickered in the nightclub. "If yu have a true friend, mek mi see the hand dem," Khago said and then the One Day riddim erupted out of the huge speakers and the crowd roared its approval. He could do no wrong as he deejayed the song to furious towel-waving and lighters flickered continuously. When he sang the last bar, he even sang the first line of DJ Liquid's 'Wifey Walk Out' and the girls screamed again. A consummate performer even though he is just a rookie in the Dancehall Game, Khago then introduced the next song by saying: "anno every friend is a true friend, ah friend sell out Buju, ah friend sell out Kartel, ah friend sell out Jesus Christ...drop the riddim". He then deejayed Nah Sell Out Part Two, at times pausing to let the crowd sing the catchy hook. Then he exited the stage to screams of 'no, more' from a trio of Hispanic beauties. He returned emphatically to stamp his class once again with Nah Sell Out and then did a heartfelt tributed to slain VP executive Joel Chin with his 'Daddy Gone' single. Chin was murdered two months ago in Jamaica, only two weeks after the birth of his daughter. |
