Vybz Kartel Rocks Tortola with an Unforgettable Night of Dancehall Magic
The highly anticipated Black on Black concert, headlined by Vybz Kartel on March 15, in Tortola, was an unforgettable experience that lived up to all expectations. With over two thousand people in attendance, the night was filled with a dynamic mix of Caribbean music, energy, and a few unexpected surprises that kept the crowd on their feet.
Ahead of the main act, Jah Vinci took to the stage for a solid set, although technical issues with the sound system caused some disruption. Despite the mic problems, the crowd stayed engaged, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the evening’s headline act.
When Vybz Kartel finally hit the stage, the wait proved to be well worth it. For two solid hours, Kartel delivered an unforgettable performance, commanding the stage with his signature hits and magnetic presence. Accompanied by his two sons and fellow artists, including Jah Vinci, Kartel reaffirmed his status as a dancehall legend. The energy from the crowd was palpable, with many seeing his performance as a major highlight of the night.
One fan summed it up best, saying, “Am Out – Kartel’s price gone UP UP after tonight! Kartel held the crowd, sipped on some water twice, never looked exhausted. It was just good, good, good.”
While Kartel’s performance was undeniably exceptional, technical difficulties continued to impact the night’s flow. Skillibeng’s set, in particular, was marred by ongoing sound issues, leading to dissatisfaction from fans.
On the other hand, the VIP experience lived up to its name. Ultra VIP attendees were impressed with the exclusive services, enjoying an abundance of drinks, delicious food, and top-notch service. “My group and I can safely say it was the same across the board,” shared one attendee. “We never ran out of drinks, had good food, and the waitress service was top-tier. But you know, some will still complain—that’s expected no matter how good things were.”
As the concert drew to a close, Premier Hon. Natalio Wheatley took the stage to join in the celebration, adding an official touch to the already electric atmosphere. “It’s good to have a legend in the house…God is the Greatest,” he remarked.
In the end, Vybz Kartel’s Tortola concert reinforced his position as one of dancehall’s most influential figures.
