August 21st 2011 Sunday Hip Hop Concert

Another visit to Mindil Markets for tea tonight! The aromas from the food are so tantalising; it's hard to decide what cuisine to try.

Not far from the markets is the Botanical Gardens where "The Herd" performed. They're a hip hop group with strong political and social justice views that are reflected in the lyrics of the songs they perform. With many performers, it's difficult to understand all of the lyrics because of many factors so I'd like a scrolling text of the lyrics to be projected on big screens so that the audience can really understand the powerful messages being performed.

Before this group performed the support group "Kojo Sound System" put on a show. Sadly, the sound check is set up for the headline act so there was some distortion and way too much bass. 

I quite like hip hop but it's not really to Robert's liking so after a few songs by "The Herd" we headed for home. Their version of "Only 19" is pretty cool.
