I’m here in South Africa working but I got a chance to get out and have some fun at the World Cup Kick-off Celebration Concert. The 3-hour concert was televised live internationally and featured big name acts like Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, Alicia Keys, and John Legend. I wasn’t as thrilled about those stars as I was about the lesser known African musicians that were performing (several of which were on my last mixtape).
The concert at Orlando Stadium was attended by nearly 30,000 fans from all over the world. It was one of those wonderful occasions where people of all races, nationalities, religions, and languages come together in unity and peace. I was amazed at how well everyone behaved (despite the large quantities of alcohol being consumed) and the general excitement in the air was contagious.
This will be the first of a series I’ll post of photos I took at the show. Click the images to enlarge them.
