Hosted in the
Afro-Caribbean community of Limon
the first staging saw a large influx of over 7,000 patrons filing in to show
their support for the Jamaican. Less than thirty minutes into the show the
venue was filled to capacity forcing the promoters to close the gates. The
city’s emergency services we also placed on high alert, thankfully there were
no incidents. After rocking the sweat drenched audience, Demarco took time out to greet many whom never
got the opportunity to see the performance.
On Sunday the
focus shifted to San Jose for the second staging at Club Vertigo the line-up
this time featured local stars: Banton, Toledo, Ghetto and Slam Jam. Arriving at minutes to midnight amidst
screaming fans inside a venue bursting at the seams. Demarco kicked off his performance with
classics such as: ‘Duppy’, ‘Fallen Soldier’, ‘True Friends’ and ‘I Love My Life’ , the singer’s security detailing was kept busy all
night as they worked tirelessly to repel the intermittent hordes of female
invading the stage.
“I expected a good crowd but what I witnessed was
amazing. When you see thousands of persons who don’t even speak the same
language as you coming out to support your concert it confirms that you are
doing something right… Right now Costa Rica is one of my favourite places to
perform. But of course there is nowhere in the world like Jamaica..”
Currently
soaring the charts globally with hits such as ‘Money’, ‘Lazy Body’ and
‘Apartment’, Demarco last Friday scored his 15th No.1 on the
Hype TV Top 20 Video Chart with ‘Continue Whine’. The blonde-haired singer is expected to return of
the island mid-September in preparation for his upcoming Birthday celebrations
before jetting off to the Southwest Pacific French Colony of New Caledonia.
