After going to my Grandma's house I saw a Drumset packed up in a room. I asked who's drumset was that and I was told a band was at the grave digging and will be at the nine night. Yes they had a three piece band and another man showed up with a guitar at the nine night.
I got to understand that this is common occurance at these place and that the bands charge between 30 grand and 50 grand Ja. The band play all night and the singer sing most religious, traditional nine night songs and some other inspirational songs. There were the lead singer but there were others who gave cameo performances.
I say this because live music is not dead in Ja and this bring back some interest in playing instruments. Local youths can put a little band together and get a little gig and along with the vibrant tourism industry it is an oppurtunity to grow your skills.
Talking about the quality voices in Ja. At my grandma wake I was blown away by the singing of a relative of mine. I have worked with a few artist and she has as much voice as any I have worked with. I will see what the future bring. The singing was very good and can be compared with any church I have been to in the south.
The talent is still there and the music schene is vibrant, not dead. If you notice I haven't mention any DJ business.
