RVK Soundystem at Akureyri Backpackers
July 26, 22:00, Free!
Iceland is probably the last place you would expect to discover a burgeon-
ing reggae scene. "Chilling" tends to have a more literal meaning in the
land of ice. But thanks to the efforts of DJ Elvar, Gnúsi Yones, DJ Kári, Kal-
li Youze and Arnljótur of RVK Soundsystem, reggae has spread far north
from Jamaica and established itself in Reykjavík. At Backpackers' newly
opened hostel in Akureyri, RVK Soundsystem's musicians and guests will
bring the tropical tunes to this free event, rain or shine. AB
