Caribbean Beats At Hemmi Og Valdi
May 12, 22:00
Hemmi og Valdi
Free
So, Reyjkavík is not exactly the Reggae-capital of the world. It sometimes leaves
you yearning for sunshine, palm trees and hanging around in a hammock on
the beach. But there is hope: Rvk Soundsystem might help boost your spirits. On
Saturday May 12 they’ll put on their monthly reggae performance at Hemmi og
Valdi. This is your opportunity to escape the relatively consistent greyish tone of the
Icelandic sky, at least for a while.
Join the Soundsystem for some Caribbean tunes including reggae, dance-
hall, dub and roots while drinking beer and enjoying a welcome change from the
electropop tunes you can find everywhere else. Gnúsi Yones, DJ Kári and Arnljótur
are just a few of the DJs performing that night. The shenanigans start at 22:00 and
if that’s not enough reggae for you, head to Gamla Bió beforehand, where Icelandic
reggae band Hjálmar will be playing at 21:00. The sun is shining, the weather is
sweet…

Reykjavík’s Multi-cultural Day takes place Saturday, May 12. The Festivities will
begin at Hallgrímskirkja at 13:00 with an address from Mayor Jón Gnarr followed
by a parade, which will make its way down Skólavörðustígur, ending at City Hall.
Handcrafts, design, music, and food will be on display at an International Mar-
ket Place. There’ll be entertainment for young and old! Tjarnarbíó is going to host
an interesting program including a rock violin show, theatre performances, salsa,
break, and Mexican dance styles, a circus and a choir performance from 14:00
until 18:00.
Those wishing to reserve a booth at the International Marketplace can contact
Jóna at jvk@rerkjavik.is or at 411-4153. Those wishing to take part in the parade
