This is one of those few moments when I comment or write about subjects I don't usually cover. It could be because I'm a new found fan of Barcelona's or the fact that I've always admired both French footballer Thierry Henry and our very own African super-striker Samuel Eto'o, who hails from Cameroon.
On the other hand, maybe it's because Heineken made a huge event out of the screening of the UEFA Champions League final match at INC. last night. I have never been so excited about a soccer game like that in a long time. Barcelona were on fire as they dominated the bulk of the game with excellent, wholesome football. A point that brings me back to my adulation for Henry, ever since his days with Arsenal. He is one of the most revered players in in the world and he showed us just how he garnered that following as he helped his team clinge the most coveted title/championship in European football.
There was also celebrities galore, as supporters from both the teams revelled in a spactacular match that saw Barcelona score a goal in each of the innings. In the house were familiar faces including the likes of Carol Manana, Tebogo Mahlatsi, David Kau, DJ Bongs, Kwela Tebza, Kagiso Lediga, Unathi Nkayi and Bad Boy T, Nhlanhla Nciza, Fistaz and T-Bo Touch and many more. The food was delicious and the drinks flowing smoothly. The company and atmosphere were also grand and jubilant with many familair faces I had brief chats with.
It's a pity I had to rush out just after the game to try and catch Young Nations, Imbube, and F'Eezy perform at the Unrealeased Records showcase, missing the celebrations after the game. Needless to say, the performances were over when I got to the venue. I would have loved to see if what Imbube were saying about their energy and music when I interviewed them earlier this year rings true.
Anyway, INC. rocked last night. Thanks for the invite Raksha, me and my boy Thabiso had an amazing time.
