If you missed out on Angenoir's first Tuff Gong Reggae Night anniversary or you attended but want to relive the moment, in the comfort of your home, the event's DVD is out just for you.

On the DVD, dubbed Natural Mystiq, you'll enjoy the moments of the international reggae crew that performed on the anniversary, right from the time they set their feet at Entebbe airport.

But the main action is during the show as the combined band of international talent with the likes top roots reggae artiste Prince Malachi croon some of Bob Marley's classic hits. This was fitting as the Tuff Gong anniversary also coincided with Bob Marley's birthday celebrations.

The stage was also shared by veteran Henry 'Button' Tenyue, a former player with the UB40, whose masterly act with the trombone was breathtaking. There was Everald 'Fart' Forrest who did the percussion.

Short of having the Wailers in town, these veterans lived up to the billing of an international reggae concert. Of course not forgetting our own reggae man Tshaka Mayanja of the Black Roots Unlimited who was playing the bass guitar.

The DVD also captures an exhibition and other activities that marked the Bob Marley anniversary week. Some of our local stars like Bebe Cool, Peter Miles, Kids Fox and Jeckaki band who performed at the anniversary are also captured rocking the crowds.

You could secure yourself a copy of the footage at any music store next to you.
