Tempo recently celebrated its third anniversary, on the 13th December, 2008 in the Bahamas, with a lackluster turnout. Even with a lineup featuring some of the hottest artistes in the region, the event failed to live up to past anniversary celebrations.

Performing at the event were Pyramid’s own Peter Ram and Biggie Irie. Both in typical fashion performed optimally, creating and capturing a crowd. They had the Bahamians grooving to selections like “Woman By Side”, “Pumpin”, “Big Girlz”, and the ever popular “Nah Going Home”. Another Barbadian, Soca Queen Alison Hinds, also performed and tried to warm up the significantly diminished crowd by giving some wining lesson. These were much to the pleasure of the men in the audience but even the Soca Queen couldn’t bring the fervor that was evident at Tempo’s past events. The band of the night was without a doubt Krosfyah. Always the best of perfomers the band was in fine form that night. With leads Edwin and Khiomal, the Bahamian audience was really treated to a Bajan experience.

Jamaicans Tessanne Chin and Ce’cile also came out to show the crowd a bit of flavor and made their performances quite interactive. Ce’cile gave bubbling lessons and Tessanne came off stage to show some love to her biggest fan, her mother. Following on their heels Bahamians had an opportunity to see their homegrown son of the soil, Jaheime, singing his hit “Wickedest Time”. Trinidadian Ziggy Rankin also got involved in the show with his song “Tired Of This Miserable Life”.

The showstoppers of the events turned out to be the fantastic four. Mr. Vegas brought his cohorts Spragga Benz, Timberlee and none other than Mr. Lexx. Between the four of them they made the event’s finale worth the admission for those who remained in the audience. Newcomer Timberlee did her best to keep up with these three dancehall legends and from all accounts was a pleasantly surprising addition to the ensemble.
