It was after 3 a.m. on Sunday morning when a disgruntled Elephant Man, after having his set cut short by police officers, unapologetically announced that fellow deejay and unscheduled performer Beenie Man had "mashed up" the Coca-Cola Presents Sean Kingston in Concert.

Receiving boos from the disgruntled audience for 'dissing' the self-styled King of the Dancehall, Elephant Man made his way offstage after just getting the energy started in his shortened set. After being called up by Sean Kingston earlier in the night, Beenie Man made his way back onstage for a short stint begging scheduled performer, DeMarco, "five minutes" to give his fans a taste of 'the doctor'. DeMarco obliged, cutting in here and there for a few lines of his own songs and to showcase his own dance moves. Beenie Man ended up taking longer than his 'five minutes'. At the abrupt end of the show as emcee Miss Kitty thanked the packed venue for showing, persons in the crowd lively debated Beenie's performance for the night, often favouring the deejay for showing up and performing unexpectedly.

strong vibe

Prior to its the unexpected ending, Sean Kingston in Concert was a well-organised and well-attended event that saw more interesting than forgettable performances for the night. Dominated by young artistes after 9 p.m., acts such as G Whizz and Tessanne Chin alongside surprise act Shaggy performing their duet Hold Me got some responses for their effort. Voicemail soon brought a dancing vibe as the younger crowd members bawled out "bembe" along side the trio, who kept a strong vibe. Laden soon followed, deejaying more of his song than usual with Gal Over Gun, Working Hard and had hands waving for Time to Shine. QQ gave a surprisingly mature performance, showing promise for the future, as he came out in a Michael Jackson-style outfit and had fans screaming at the front of the stage. Singing his R&B song, security had to come to his rescue at one point as fans tried to grab the young singjay while he 'stookied' and 'rum-rammed'.

the boo-bird

Elephant Man wasn't the only person to be bitten by the boo-bird for the night. Emcee Supa Hype received a solid one as well. After re-entering the stage, he asked fans to scream if they liked QQ. The audience complied. He then proceeded to 'big up' LA Lewis in the VIP area and asked fans to scream for the graffiti artiste. However, instead of shouting their approval, he was given a sound booing. Miss Kitty soon took over emceeing duties, bringing on Alaine next who danced and did her set followed by Tifa, who received a strong forward from welcoming fans. Fans sang along to Bottom of the Barrel, as the female deejay showed off her quick lyrics before going into Spell It Out. D'Angel looked enticing in a red body suit as she hailed her husband in the building and blazed onstage. Executing a quick wardrobe change, she soon made way for Chino who made time for new songs such as Phone Gallis on the Boops rhythm. He slowed it down for Ruff It Up as he took a seat onstage and played his guitar. Bringing out 'the captain', Chino made way for his father Freddie McGregor to get in a line or two as the crowd sang along to Push Come to Shove.

Etana, Shady Squad and Mystic all had the crowd warmed up as shortly after 1 a.m. the man of the night Sean Kingston made his way onstage as those sitting down, stood at attention for the international act. Coming to Mi Love, Kingston had a lot to say throughout his first performance in Kingston. In a disc jock showdown with his DJ, Kingston showed that he was in touch with new music, playing Assassin's Hand Up Inna Di Air, Serani's Skip to ma Luu and Stephen McGregor's Cyaa Friend Again before bigging up the Big Ship. The deejay was all business with hits such as Take You There, Beautiful Girls and Fire Burnin.

Coppershot's DJs Sanjay and Small Voice, as well as Bloodline's DJ Narity kept the party going after Kingston's performance, as acts such as DeMarco followed to a good response, followed by Ding Dong and Ravers Clavers. Ding Dong jumped into the crowd for Holiday, while Elephant Man closed the show, continuing the dancing trend until cut-off time.

A high energy performance by the King of the Dancehall, Beenie Man will be the added feature to this Sunday's staging of Red Stripe BOLD Socamaloo at the Keycard Beach Village, New Kingston.

Previous weeks have seen fast paced soca music fused with hard hitting dancehall beats, fun for socaphiles and those many lovers of dancehall music.

From the selectors of Renaissance disco, DJ Kurt Riley and other guest DJ's, each has brought something special to the table.

Sunday April 12th is set to be even more exciting coinciding with Bacchanal Jamaica's road parade. Many revellers will no doubt choose Socamaloo as their after road march lyming spot.

a special element

According to Safia Cooper, brand manager for Red Stripe Bold, a lot of thought has gone into the concept and particularly this week.

"Being road march Sunday, we have added a special element that we are certain will entice revellers to be a part of. After partying on the road all day what better way to maintain that party vibe than at Socamaloo, where the energy will be high," Cooper said.

"We have brought the beach to the city, not only sand, palm trees and beach umbrellas, but even an endless offering of oysters," she added.

Beenie Man has promised his round of hits, but will also be adding a few surprises as well.

"I am known for bringing the energy to any performance, but this one will be different. For Socamaloo, I will be mixing it up a bit to please all the partygoers, a fusion of genres is what I have planned," Beenie Man said.

"I will be incorporating everything in this performance. Many of the persons in the crowd will just be coming off the road march and I want to keep up to that pace. High energy, jumping beats, an intense vibe and loads of palancing, that's what's in store for Socamaloo this Sunday," he added.

Red Stripe BOLD Socamaloo is a series of parties that will continue up to April 25th. Food will be available as well as a trampoline for those daring enough to try.
