Fiery performance from Capleton at Encore Live

Capleton reminded patrons at Encore Live on Sunday why his name has remained synonymous with commanding performances, delivering a fiery set that brought culture, consciousness and dancehall history to Plantation Cove in St Ann.

From the moment he took the stage, the veteran reggae artiste performed with the urgency and physical energy that have defined his career. He moved relentlessly across the stage, delivering each song with conviction and drawing the audience deeper into the performance as the set unfolded. Those gathered near the stage responded by singing along, raising their hands and matching the intensity coming from the stage.

Among the biggest responses of the night came during Slew Dem and Or Wah, two records that remain deeply connected to Capleton’s catalogue and Jamaica’s dancehall culture. Slew Dem immediately stirred the audience, with patrons joining him word for word as the familiar opening and forceful delivery travelled across the venue.
