About.
This song originated from a melody which Loquan had produced as a demo several years ago, but was never released. Philmore and Loquan have now revitalized the song with their own vibes and with the energy and creativity that flows between them musically. Destra who wrote the lyrics for both songs wanted to bring to the forefront the story of the bands coming on stage after a lot of hard work and practice night after night, only to be ignored by DJ’s and rhythm sections playing in the North Stand. The players play their heart out and seek vibes and appreciation for their work from the audience with “Gih we some vibes”, “listen to we” and “support de ting”.
