Surforeggae's first party is a hit, but too intense for some tastes! Check it out!

Last Friday, the 7th, we held the much-publicized Surforeggae inauguration party, which was going very well
if it weren't for some problems with the venue, Phrae Pizza Bar. The owner of the establishment did not have the necessary paperwork that would make live performances possible. We were wrong not to require the proper documents before choosing the party venue. As the owner of the venue was probably aiming at pure and simple money, the party was approved and held at Phrae.
With top-notch Reggae and Forró featuring the bands Maré alta, Terra Seca, Perna de Grilo and Bicho do Mato, which did their part very well indeed, the venue was madness in its entirety with approximately 300 people. The owner of Phrae had never seen anything so "bombastic". Tables were removed so the crowd could dance, Arab hookahs gave the mystical touch to the party, in other words, the success of the promotion and Surforeggae was confirmed. Then came the law issue mentioned above. The sound was at a normal level for a show, but right in front of Phrae there is a condominium where, probably from there, the call to the police and sound inspection came to shut down the place. End of party... people start leaving, many without understanding but it was done... the Surforeggae party was postponed, but with one certainty: From what was seen at Phrae, our team felt that Surforeggae internet users are supporting us, and the next party will have no loopholes or misunderstandings, because the venue will be carefully chosen, and the true inauguration is yet to come to be danced with lots of forró and killer tracks in the purest reggae roots, as an
apology for the mess at Phrae and a call for alliance to the newest site supporting the crowd's tastes:
SURF + FORRO + REGGAE... Jah, it was about time!!!!
Thanks to everyone who attended the party, and also those who couldn't attend but constantly visit Surforeggae, those who help the portal grow, in short, thanks to you internet user and to you independent bands, who always give strength at the shows, to the bands Maré Alta, Perna de Grilo, Terra Seca and Bicho do Mato who masterfully did their part.
