Village Cafe last night

Another good night at the Village Cafe. The headliner, Stephanie Wallace, really drove the crowd hard. She sang a mix of love songs, reggae, and her own work. The early acts were

• A young woman singer who grabbed the crowd, too (name?)
• Ras Pankaj, a jumping Rasta singer with a mixture of old and new reggae and songs about the environment, ganja, etc.
• Chocolate - a young (14 years) singer from Trinidad & Tobago with her own songs; she preached non-violence, then amazed the crowd with her stage presence

From early in the evening, Beenie Man was present. He listened, signed autographs, had his picture taken with various young ladies, and chatted up people in the crowd. I didn't know that he showed up at these events.

Last week's singers were also there (Roslyn Williams and Michael Sean Harris), supporting and listening. People had a really good time.
