Alpha Blondy & The Solar System - Live at Irving Plaza, 2006

   
Alpha Blondy returned to Irving Plaza for another non-stop evening of Reggae music for an audience packed with his fans.  This was the sixth Alpha Blondy concert that we have seen and each has been a music treat, given that his poignant music delivery is backed by the tight and energetic Solar System band.  For close to three hours Blondy sang many of his hits and quite a few rarities from his massive archive of material, the majority of the crowd knew every word and, as with all of his New York performances, the front region in front of the stage turns into a near-mosh pit of ecstatic fans of African reggae.
