¡Riddim en Vivo!

One of my favorite pastimes/activities is going to concerts. If you've read some of my posts from the previous year, you might have noticed several about the road trips I went on for the sole purpose of going to awesome concerts. So, to continue this tradition of mine, last weekend I decided to seize an opportunity to go to a concert in Buenos Aires (no road trip necessary in this city!).

The band I saw is called Riddim; they're an Argentine reggae group. I had never heard of them, but I saw a flyer for the concert on the Subte [Subway] during the week and had nothing to else to do last Saturday night, so I decided to go for it. It was at a club I had been to once before, a good size but not too giant, and the stage is elevated to basically my height, so no matter where in the crowd you are you can see everything.

I couldn't be happier that I went; the show was amazing. Riddim is a band made up of nine people, so the variety of instruments they have going on made for an awesome show. They are made up of a brass section consisting of a trumpet, trombone, and saxophone player, a keyboardist, two guitarrists, a bass player, a drummer, and of course the lead singer. They are apparently really popular in Argentina, because the crowd was singing along half of the time.

I would highly recommend checking this band out if you like reggae and want to expand your musical horizons; their website is http://www.riddim.com.ar/.

And here's another link about the show I went to which includes a music video.

It's almost time for the fall semester to start at MSU...hopefully everyone's enjoying the end of the summer!
