  |
|
FIRST OFF, THE PARTY WAS ADVERTISED WRONG, I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PARTY PROMOTERS KEEP DOING THAT,(CHECK FLYER BELOW, hope i don't break any rules since the party was last night) IT WASN'T A DUEL BETWEEN HARMONIK AND ZENGLEN, THE WHOLE NIGHT ONE BAND KEEP AKNOWLEDGING THE OTHER BY REFERRING AS ZENGLEN SE DJAZZ PA NOU, OR HARMONIK SE TI FERE NOU...THERE IS NO FRICTION BETWEEN THE TWO.....
SECOND BLUNDER ON THE FLYER , IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HARMONIK CD RELEASE PARTY....I BLAME BOTH HARMONIK AND THE PROMOTERS FOR THAT, THEY KNOW DAMN WELL THERE WOULDN'T BE SUCH THING, EPI SE MOD PROMOTEUR SA YO YAP MANDE POU REMERCIE...VYE JES...
I GOT AT THE CLUB AROUND 11:00 PM, WHICH WAS A LITTLE ROOM AT THE IMPERIAL SWAN HOTEL WITH A MAKESHIT BAR THAT COULD HOLD BETWEEN 350 TO 450 PEOPLE MAX, AFTER SOME MINOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SOUND HARMONIK STARTED TO PLAY AT 11:49 PM AND THEIR FIRST SONG WAS SINCERITE, THERE WERE ABOUT 150 PEOPLE AT THAT TIME, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HARMONIK, NEG YO JWE BON KOMPA, THEN THEY PLAYED A CLASSIC FROM CUPE CLOUE "SIM TE KONEN TOUJOU DEYE" SANDERS DID SOME SICK SOLO ON THAT SONG I WAS IN AWE ALL NIGHT, THE KID IS SICK ON THE GUITAR, THEIR 3rd SONG WAS "ZANMI" GOT A GOOD REACTION FROM THE CROWD," HOPARLEUR" FOLLOWED NEXT THAT HYPED THE CROWD A LIL BIT, BY THAT TIME MORE PEOPLE CAME, THE LADIES' FAVORITE CAME NEXT "OBSEDE" THEY HAVE THE FEMALES SINGING ALONG WITH THAT ONE...IT WAS AROUND 1:00 O'CLOCK HARMONIK ANNOUNCED THAT IT WAS TIME TO GIVE THE STAGE TO ZENGLEN AND THEY PLAYED THEIR LAST SONG WHICH WAS "HARMONICK LET'S GO" THE RECEPTION OF THE NEW SINGLE WAS GOOD MC-D, BEST PART OF THAT SONG IS WHEN THEY HAD SERGO ON STAGE DOING THE WINE YOUR WAIST MOVE...LADIES LOVE IT....ALL AND ALL HARMONICK DID GOOD, THE SOUND WASN'T GOOD AT ALL BUT THEY MANAGED.....MC-D WAS VERY VOCAL ABOUT IT "DEPIM LAN BUSINESS LAN MWEN PAKO JANM VINN ORLANDO POUM JWENN YON BON MONITOR"
THEY LEFT THE STAGE AT 1:18 AM
PROBLEM IS TIME WAS PUSHED ONE HOUR WHICH LEFT ZENGLEN WITH LIL TIME TO PERFORM, AFTER SOUND CHECK ZENGLEN STARTED TO PLAY AT 2:00 AM WHICH WAS BASICALLY 3:00AM DUE TO THE TIME CHANGE, BUT ZENGLEN PLAYED THEIR BEST BESIDES ALL THE SOUND PROBLEM, KEYBOARD KEPT GOING OFF, THE BANDS GOT UNPLUGGED TWICE DUE TO PEOPLE AROUND THE STAGE, SECURITY WAS QUICK TO GET THOSE FOLKS AWAY....ZENGLEN PLAYED DON'T LET GO FIRST THEN SWITCH TO "HAPPY 50 KOMPA", DID A QUICK SKIT OF "COK LA" THEN THE BAND SWITCH QUICKLY TO "FLANE FEMALE" WHICH WAS AWESOME AND KIND OF BRINGING BACK THE GRACIA DELVA ERA, THE ROOM WAS PACKED NOT TO FULL CAPICITY BUT A GOOD CROWD, KOB LA FET...
NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THE ORLANDO POLICE ASK FOR THE BAND TO STOP PLAYING, IT WAS 3:30 AM...ZENGLEN HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO COMPLY...CROWD WAS PISSED OFF AND LEFT THE ROOM CUSSING, I AM SURE MOST PEOPLE FELT ROBBED....
I GUESS I SHOULD THANK THE PROMOTER FOR A GREAT PARTY, WE HAVE 2 GREAT BANDS OF COURSE BUT THE VENUE, THE SOUND SYSTEM, AND TIME MANAGEMENT SUCK BIG TIME 
POSITIVE NOTE, THERE WAS NO FIGHT, SECUTIRY KEPT EVERYONE IN CHECK, THERE WERE A FEW DRUNKS KNUCKLE HEAD THAT COULD HAVE SPARKED SOMETHING, BUT FORTUNATELY NOTHING HAPPENED...
DON'T ASK ME FOR PICS, THERE WERE ENOUGH CAMERAS INSIDE FLASHING PEOPLE I AM SURE THEY WILL SEND SOME TO PAT

Thanks for the review. I missed a great party. I was supposed to go to ORLANDO but I changed my mind at the last minute. I heard nothing but great reviews for that party.
I am glad you had fun, DONCUE.
