Reggae Festival Reviews: OSTRÓDA REGGAE FESTIVAL

Ey! Today am gonna continue my reggae reviews reffering to Ostróda Reggae Festival, 14th edition. This year, it was my 4th Ostróda. It is believed that this fest is the best one in Poland.. But my opinion is a little different because I think it turned in more comercial way which I am not really into.
I went there only for one day (because my budget was getting smaller and smaller) but I decided to go there because of my boyfriend who said that I couldn't miss it esspecially when my favourite band played there. I was so happy to go there, in real but the first thing which greeted me there was.. a thunder storm (but it's normal for that fest anyway :)). At the festival zone, I had a really big problem to find something to eat because there were many fast-foods but where is food for the vegetarians and vegans, which is kinda healthy? There was the only one place where I decided to eat and it was Ethopian cuisine (a really delicious one, with fresh food). After, when it stopped raining, I went thought the stalls with souvenirs, Rasta clothes, jeverly ect. I really love it! Next, I wanted to jam a little, feel the vibes. The fist show I went was Meta and The Cornerstones and as I didn't have any expetitions before, during the show I really fell in love with their vibes, multicultural atmosphere and beautiful message "Peace, love and harmony"- that's all we need people! Afterwards, the show gave Chronixx (a big big star outta JA), he's really popular one, I sang the songs with him but it wasn't the show which I imagined. It was good, but looked like he is just working. And after.. The show I waited for, Rootz Underground. Oh man, how excited I was to see them after 2 yrs. They didn't give their best, I was on their 3 shows and this one was the worst for me, but it was kinda powerful, I had fun. I don't want to show this festival in negative way because it's a special place for me, and I'm not gonna stop going there, but I think that there is some true in it. Well, as always, few pictures and video:

Reggae Festival Reviews: REGGAE NA PIASKACH

Ey everyone! Hope all is well.. I'm gonna share with u my own review of reggae fests which took part last summer in Poland, I attended there so I think my opinion is not imaginary. So let's start with the first one... It is.. REGGAE NA PIASKACH (eng. Reggae on the beach).
The festival takes place every year since 14 yrs in Ostrów Wielkopolski, for me, it's really beautiful place surrounded by a lake, a forest. I did really fall in love when I went there for a walk and saw this absolutely fantastic views. This fest is not the biggest or the most famous one in Poland, it's more kind of family festival with positive ambiance everywhere. The organization was pretty cool and organisators of Reggae na Piaskach are fantastic, friendly people (what could make you feeling a real jamaican vibe over there)! Irie ites, smiling face and fantastic weather.. What about some music?!
There were of course some polish musicans and two Jamaican bands:
DUBTONIC KRU AND (a young blood outta Jamaica) IBA MAHR. Of course it was the point of the program and of course shows were played on the highest level of the music (as always ;))! Sunday was concentrated on reggae contest where some new reggae bands competed to win.
Well, what can I say more.. The best way is to see this on the video below and there are some my pics from a fantastic weekend in Ostrów Wielkopolski.
