One good thing about music…

There’s only one place to be on February 9th and that’s at JHBLive’s “Hit Me With Music” bash at Carfax celebrating the legendary Bob, Reggae and the Irie life in generaal. Bob Marley, like many fabulous talented groovy party people we know, is an Aquarian born in February, the 8th to be exact, make sure you celebrate Bob and all that he taught us in true Ragga style. Represent! Hit Me With Music is back after a hugely successful show in 2007. It’s a tribute to Bob Marley – a man whose music and lyrics have given hope and inspiration to millions of people around the globe. Marley represents an ideology of freedom, his work touching on both personal liberation and liberation of the African mind and spirit. His lyrics have given hope and inspiration to many. In his spirit, JHBLive introduces the Hit Me With Music Party 2008. This year’s event has a 70’s African Revival theme. The main floor will host live acts, which will stage a tribute to the music of Bob Marley. The Carfax outside area will be transformed into a 70’s-style African shebeen, accompanied by a small market, complete with a selection of mouth-watering West African and Ethiopian cuisine. For those with harder tastes, there will be a ragga-style drum ‘n bass floor to keep your feet grooving all night long. Come join us for a night of inspiration, perspiration and jubilation!
