I felt like I was in a beautiful dream, wandering through the soft grass with vibrantly colored flowers surrounding every corner. How could I not mention the huge mountains towering in the background with the sunset kissing the sides of the mountains with the beautiful orange and yellow colors. We wove our way through the winding paths until we turned the corner only to glance at the hundreds of people spread out on the lawn preparing for Freshlyground. Many people brought blankets, wine, and cheese to set up their picnics. I sat with my friends Annie, Anna, Kelsey, and Mairead. Earlier during the day I stopped by a market and brought some fresh break to eat during the concert, and I also bought an appletiser to satisfy my thirst. It was the perfect summertime concert meal and as the sun started to dip down a chilly breeze swept through the concert arena, so my friends and I went close to the stage to warm up and dance.
Freshlyground came on stage and they blew me away. The music and band members were so full of life and freshness. Freshlyground did the song Waka Waka Africa with Shakira, and when they played that song everyone went crazy, laughing and jumping and singing. There was one point where the lead singer and I made eye contact and we pointed fingers at each other, what a great moment! Everyone was dancing to the amazing beats and freshness of freshlyground giving everyone a taste of amazing African flavorful music. It was an experience of a lifetime and I truly felt like I was in a dream. I bought a t-shirt and a cd and I cannot stop listening to the cd, it is so amazing. Here is a link to the band'
