since the creation of the "best of the best" punta rock concert as well as the "belizeanartist.com concert in conjuction with this site, we are now learning more and more about belizeanartist and what they are doing. more artist are also coming out showing off their talents. in the past, most belizeanartist were performing only at backyard parties, or jumping on the mic while some dj was spinning. now, they have the opprtunity to get on a stage professionaly put together with lights, great sound, and a real show atmosphere. that is all most performers want is a chance to show their talent without having to worry about a sound system that sounds like crap. i know this has been said before, but belizeans will never get ahead unless we change the way we deal with each other. some say the concerts are too expensive. well, listen, i passed by this club the other day over there on 49th and vermont and it cost $10. to get it. inside there was only a dj. thats it, a dj. this place is a hole in the wall, the people incharge have no expenses but to pay a dj and maybe pay a few hundred dollars for renting the the place. we are paying $10. to see a damn dj and if you notice no one complains. now back to these concerts. driving a few blocks away from the venue you could already see that these guys spare no expense. the premier light are visible mile away. there is a state-of-the-art sound system, a video crew, lighting crew, dj-usually more than one, the hall, airline tickets, hotel, food, gas, flyers/posters, security, newspaper/magazine ads, and much more. the expense on a show like that is huge. we all really need to look at all of this and say "this concert is worth ever penny of our $20. dollars"
