LONG LOCKS: Damian "Jr Gong" Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley during his performance.


"JUNIOR, Junior!" was the recurring chant from hundreds of reggae fans at the Jean Pierre Complex, Mucurapo, Port of Spain, at the weekend.

They called over and over for the return of the youngest son of the Marley clan during his concert appearance at Summer Fest 2007. And he answered them each time.

Damian "Jr Gong" Marley was in top form, delivering three successive encores during a marathon three-hour performance that appeased the most demanding of his fans.

He kept a high energy level throughout; his long locks bobbing around as he jumped from stage left to right to deliver messages of conscious self-change and empowerment that hit home with the large Saturday night audience.

"De people and dem stand up and dem nah wha leave so meh had to answer de call," he said with a tired smile, backstage moments after his performance.

"That's why we always enjoy coming to Trinidad because we always have a good time."

The audience leapt to their feet and roared to life when the multi-Grammy winner charged on stage just after midnight to open with his controversial politically motivated "Confrontation" off the certified gold Welcome to Jamrock album. And when he switched to the chart-topping title track the result was electric. The screams of adoring fans must still be echoing in the reggae star's head on his flight back to Miami today.

It was his older brother and mentor Stephen Marley, however, who provided the most memorable moment of the night when he took centre stage to deliver his father's hit "Pimpa's Paradise".

While Jr Gong seems to have inherited his father's stage performance, Stephen has been blessed with Marley's raspy voice.

The two were are an unbeatable team as Jr's rough cut chants perfectly complements Stephen's crooning. Together they roused the spirits of the reggae faithful with a pore-raising performance of Bob's "Could You Be Loved" before jamming into their club hits "Hey Girl" and "Traffic Jam".

Stephen said afterwards the reception was overwhelming. He said the greetings he has received in T&T show, despite politcal differences, Caribbean people are united.

"Trinidad is we brother and sister. Forget what you heard about Trinidad and Jamaica. We are one, we are family tonight. Me feel it. Jah know, much love to Trinidad," he concluded.

The torch has been passed from father to sons. They are certainly keeping the flame alive.

I think it was in the Savannah I hear Jr Gong perform a while back.  Same concert Bennie was there looking like he on something and Machel jump in the crowd and allegedly everybody move and he fall on de ground   

Jr Gong ras reallll long...cah remember it being that long before.  (Anybody ever see Tallman without a hat?)

Anyway...side topic.. Concert was in the stadium right?  I eh know if it was inside or outside but if it was inside....bachanalwoman...ask your peeps if they use the million $$ covers to protect the field.

Get that same vibes Gong ras was not that long last years ,what extentions 

[asylumseeker]

Junior Gong is pure class!

See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
And propoganda spreading inna the sunday papers not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze ya
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed cause
inna dem churches tryin to save...saviours

I think there's a major difference in vibe in attending one of these concerts in the region or in de States or Canada etc. ... for one I think the security arrangements at many a foreign venue jes mash up de vibes in an unnatural way ...

"Trinidad is we brother and sister. Forget what you heard about Trinidad and Jamaica. We are one, we are family tonight. Me feel it. Jah know, much love to Trinidad," he concluded.

"That's why we always enjoy coming to Trinidad because we always have a good time."

See it deh.
