The sound of horns and harmonies filled the Yigo Amusement Park Sunday night as rising West Coast reggae band Stranger headlined Reggae in the Park hosted by Tropical Productions.

Local talents New Name, Fiyahworks, and Rock Bottom kept the crowd going as the park slowly received concertgoers from every part of the island.

As Stranger took the stage in the evening, fans filled the dance floor, slowly skanking to the band's catchy mixture of roots, rock and reggae.

"The music was good, and it was a mellow and relaxing atmosphere," says concertgoer Reinhard Alcampor, 15.

"It's a great way to kick off the summer. I wasn't really familiar with the music, but their style is appealing to everyone. I hope they come back."

Flashy lights and sound effects momentarily dazed spectators and dancers alike. The band played crowd favorites such as "The Only One" and "Skanking in the Dark".

"It was a really chill show. Although the crowd wasn't as big as the other reggae concerts, I still had a good time just enjoying myself with friends and dancing," says Yigo resident Matthew Reyes.

Coming off the release of their latest five-song EP "Some Kinda Sign," Stranger's seven members performed to a packed venue at the park with their style of Southern California roots rock reggae -- what the band calls "SoulCal".

While it was their first time on Guam, the band was familiar with the island as they have quite a local following.

"We'd only hear about Guam from our friends, but it feels great to actually be here and we're thankful that the islanders accepted us," says keyboardist Ian Young.

"Guam is awesome. We've been getting so much love and attention from everyone. It's like everyone's a big family."

The band, based in San Diego, California, has been active for about a decade and regularly plays with other notable reggae bands such as Tribal Seeds, Rebelution, and SOJA.

They recently played at the sold-out 23rd Annual Bob Marley Fest at the San Diego Sports Arena, where they generated huge crowds and interests.

Organized by Tropical Productions and Heineken Music, Reggae in the Park is part of an ongoing series of reggae concerts that has brought off-island talents Rebelution, Clinton Fearon, Katchafire, SOJA, One Drop, Tribal Seeds, Iration, Niyorah, and the Expendables to perform on Guam during the past several years.

"Our goal is always to bring some great off-island reggae performers," says James Castro, marketing manager for Tropical Productions.
