TKA IN CONCERT:
Latin freestylers TKA have been practicing the art of seduction since breaking onto the scene in the late-‘80s with their hit debut Scars of Love. Often performing in classic tuxedos, the trio sings their dance-infused hits like “One Way Love” and “Don’t Be Afraid” beneath bright lights and elaborate stage design during their live shows. Whether they’re getting the crowd pumped up or dancing in unison on stage, TKA’s electrifying live performances will have audiences on their feet all night long.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
TKA got their start singing at a sweet sixteen party in Harlem, where they attracted the attention of producer Joey Gardner who signed the act to his label Tommy Boy Records in 1984. The trio released their smash hit single “One Way Love” shortly after, launching to stardom within the Latin community. The Spanish-language number “Maria” and pop-heavy track “I Won’t Give Up On You” continued to earn the group widespread acclaim and were featured on their 1992 Greatest Hits album, a record that showcased their ability to blend an array of genres and cultures into their music. Although parting ways for a number of years, TKA reunited with a fresh lineup and new material for the 2001 release Forever, which spawned a collection of Top 40 dance tracks and paved the way for their continued touring. Back on the road, the kings of freestyle will take the stage with legends like Vanilla Ice and George Lamond, to name a few, treating fans to their hit-filled sets along the way.
I give this event a 9 out of 10. Had an awsome time. Every group was great. We got lawn seating and the view was unbeatable. The only thing i did not care for was the no outside good and drinks. They did offer wine and beer for a price but the selection stunk.
Listening to the "Fresh" artists of the 1980's come out for a performance was great. Even though the teenagers of the previous century are now the "Establishment", it was nice to see them act young for a few hours.
The show was incredible. Everyone performed wonderfully. The only negative was the sound system. It was turned up too high and it caused way too much distortion. It almost sounded like cracked speakers.
Took my girl to the concert Saturday night and it was awesome
The entire concert was awesome! Every single song played had me and my friends on our feet dancing. I would definitely go again!
I enjoyed the almost 4 hour concert. The entire night flowed very well. The only draw back was the sound quality. At times there was way too much feedback and difficulty hearing the singers sing or speak. Other than that, my hubby and I had an AMAZING night! Thanks and will do it again soon.
I loved each and every performance. They were all so great.
The artists were all wonderful! George Lamond and the Sugar Hill Gang are my favorites. Judy Torres should have been included in the line up. She is a staple of freestyle! The reason I only gave it 2 stars...the sound was WAY TOO LOUD for the venue. The Wellmont isn't the size of Izod, MSG, or even MetLife. Sound system doesn't need to be so extremely loud and it takes away from the fun. Also base was turned up too high which seems to be a problem at the Wellmont because this was a problem at another recent concert I went to there. I am not old, I love loud music, and I go to many concerts. Please correct this! Several of my friends left half way through show because they couldn't take the extreme sound any longer and some were in top level (I was on lower level). I couldn't stay until the end either and I always stay to the end! The artists deserve 5 stars, but the sound reduces the rating big time.
I was disappointed in the sound. There was to much base and to loud that you couldn't understand the singers when they were singing. I am a freestyle listerner since I was 19 years old. And I just turned 51. That is my music. So hopefully next time they work better at the sound.
Overall the event was very good. The sound system was not the best quality. There were multiple times where there was feedback - that ruins it for the audience and distracts the performer. Also - all the talk in between the performances was not necessary and very repetitive. There were enough performers there that all that "filler" talk in between was not necessary and honetly became annoying. Lastly - those were not the real Covergirls!!
This was my 1st ever Freestyle concert and boy i had the time of my life. Please if they have another one I would love to know.
The concert was even better than I expected. It was well worth it even trudging through a snow storm to see all the amazing acts and performances all in one venue through out the entire night. It was amazing to see that the concert went over 5 hours straight with no intermission.
My sister and I had a great time we danced and sang for four hours straight.. she loved the sugar hill gang and TKA.. I loved Judy Torres so much she looked and sounded amazing!!! TKA was also great and was worth the wait because they closed the show. Kayel is still as hot as ever!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!! I WILL BE THERE EVERY YEAR FROM NOW ON !!!
Had so much fun dancing and seeing everyone that I loved from my day !!! maybe you could leave out the hip hop and add more people from the freestyle times !!! wish the stage would have went around alittle more I was watching the back of them a lot !!
Even a snow storm couldn't keep people away! Great show/performances were all great. Only problem was trying to get a drink/the lines were all over the place - they really needed to have move people available to serve drinks. They should have people serving beers up/down the aisle like they do at other concerts. You could spend 20 minutes on line, other than that/great show/great venue
Great show nice throwback to the 80s felt like I was 18 again..would go and recommend another show like that
We had a great time! We would go again! We could do without the profanity though.
Theatre was amazing, hope there are many more Louder Than Love Valentine's Ball Freestyle with Heart! I will be sure to go. A must for any Freestyle lover.
Great groups just the best music out there each Performer played there hearts
