K’naan and Girl Talk Concert Review

Free anything is great, but free concerts are the best. On Friday Ryerson University held a free concert on Toronto Island with Girl Talk & K’naan. A strange combination of artists considering their very different sounds but, definitely a nice way to spend a Firday.

K’naan preformed first, with his clever blend of hip hop. His songs were slow and relaxing to listen too, but that vibe changed when K’naan sang an acapella version of his song “Wavin’ Flag” and got us to sing back the lyrics. After that song, his music picked up and got the whole crowd dancing. K’naan’s preformance was awesome and made me like him more for his down to earth style.

Watching Girl Talk live feels like a huge deal for me, because that’s how his music should be listened too. Your supposed to be in a large crowd of people dancing like crazy as Gregg Gillis jumps on his table and removes pieces of his clothing. Mostly all of his songs were played with a few new samples added. I love how the whole show was set up, with people dancing up on the stage and confetti being blown into the audience. The energy that Gregg Gillis has is insane! Its cool how someone who mashed up a bunch of popular song samples has become so mainstream. I can’t even imagine how much fun it would be to see Girl Talk in a club setting.

Knaan – Wavin Flag
