YET another hip gyrating superstar took the
Cosmopolitan by storm last week, both surprising and exciting all who attended,
when he and his band grooved to the Gulf Province’s own Hollie Maea track
“Askere Kerekofa”.
The Hollie Maea hit took centre stage at the beginning
of the performance with the Jamaican maestro pointing out to the crowd to be
passionate about local music.
Fans who attended were not disappointed as Shaggy and
his band entertained the crowd to a bunch of his top tracks beyond the one hour
time period.
It was another successful show organised by the
Cosmopolitan Nigh Club in partnership with Sapience Entertainment
During the star’s press conference held earlier at the
Grand Papua Hotel, he spoke of uncertainty of what to expect from his fans-
emphasising his main goal was to give them somewhere to run away from their problems.
“It is my first act here so I’m trying to figure out
what to expect, but my message is a message of music, love, and fun- my thing
is about living life,” he said.
“Whatever problems you have in your life, if you can
come to our concert for an hour or two and forget it within that time, than I
have done my job.”
“Life has too many complications as it is and I try
not to live in a complicated world, and have as much fun as possible through
music.”
“A friend of mine Maxi Priest came here, and from that
moment on he kept telling me that you need to go to Papua New Guinea.”
And have fun he did as he worked the crowd with hits
like “Strength of a Woman”, “It Wasn’t Me”,
“Mr Boombastic”, “Summertime”, and
many more.
At the end of his performance, he concluded that it
wasn’t the first nor the last time he would come to the country.
