RQL_WEBRADIO

And also the 7th edition of OverJam reggae festival had come to an end. For RQL it was our first experience in OverJam and in Slovenia ; and we left a piece of our heart there. The only word we can think of, when we want to describe OverJam is "Amazing" ; the organization was excellent. From the secutiry to the info point, all we found was kindness and expertise. The artists were the real top notch of reggae scene. The last day was blessed by a gorgeous wheather, the river has quickly become the place to stay to chill in every sense. Workshop, children's area, music and a wonderful and powerful university with Italee ; and Israel Voice (which we later saw) about the role of women in contemporary reggae music.

After a rather wandering trip across Europe, sailing on the northern see and climbing over Balcan mountains with our big magic campervan we arrived at Overjam. The place seems just like an enchanted kingdom, with a luscious forest where set the tents, a pristine shore on the most blue river you could think of and a colourful, happy loving bunch of reggae enthousiast from all over the places. Not even the heavy rains which showered the area could extinguish the sacred fire of reggae music. After a few days of warming up yesterday was the first 'big' night (and day) here. We had the chance to attend a wonderful session at the university with Mellow Mood and Paolo Baldini, which later on was the king of the Dub stage, gathering a large crowd of dancing colourful human beings uncaring of the pouring rain. As it often happens the small joys of everyday life are interwind in these big events, and Jimmy, the youngest of RQL crew, lost his first tooth while dancing at the sound ...
