PIGG’S PEAK – The Gobolondlo Hall in Pigg’s Peak came alive on Friday
night with the Earcandy show which featured South African artists Shota and
Cndo.
Around 500 people came out to have a good night of fun at the venue despite the
cold weather conditions.
The way they packed the venue and did all crazy stunts throughout the night made
one conclude that the small town has been hungry for such nights for a long
time.
Interestingly, the event looked like it was going to be counted among the
biggest flops of the year as by 10pm there were less than 50 people inside the
big hall while the parking area had about ten cars.
By 11pm, the entrance got busy with fun lovers coming in droves. By midnight the
hall was fully packed with young people dancing as if their lives depended on
it.
With the fabulous MC being none other than Manzini socialite Frankie Dlamini,
everything was on point in as far as music and dancing was concerned.
Focused
Dlamini did his job perfectly well as he not only focused on the microphone but
also joined the fun lovers on the dance floor to show off his dancing skills.
They seemed excited to be dancing next to him as most of the ladies challenged
him to a dance battle.
As if celebrating something big, the fun lovers gathered in circles and danced
to the different songs which were dished by the deejays who included Master-P,
Mbo and Karly B among others.
Wanted
Worth noting was the fact that the crowd didn’t care much about deep house
tunes but wanted the latest kwaito hits by groups such as Uhuru, Big Nuz and
Mafikizolo among others.
They also responded well to some of the old tracks from music greats such as
TKZee, Mdu and the late Brown Dash.
While one would have thought that the distance would scare some, there was quite
a number of fun lovers from the Manzini-Mbabane corridor as well.
In the end the show proved one thing-Pigg’s Peak people love fun and they can
dance!
