The Liberal Party celebrated the Eid last Wednesday with a gig at their haruge situated north of the Olympus theatre. Although the gig was headlined by Trio, the highlights of the gig came at later stages of the night. Trio was followed by an electrifying solo performance from Mishy (Ibra's running mate Nahid's daughter) who gave the audience some great renditions including Rihanna's Umbrella, the Beatles' Let It Be and John Denver's Leaving On A Jet Plane amongst others.
Mishy's session was followed by requests from the audience for a performance from her dad, X-ray Athif, who came on stage and said that he is going to play only if it was followed by Ibra. Athif sung Elvis Presley's Good Luck Charm.
I don't think most of the crowd was expecting Ibra to walk up on stage after Athif finished his song, but that is exactly what happened next. I saw some surprised looks from the crowd as many did not know that Ibra actually used to do gigs whilst he was studying in Australia and even after coming back to Male'. Ibra covered Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight and Cliff Richards' Travelling Light.
Trio came up on stage to finish the night off with Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up. However at the end of this, requests started pouring in for the their definitive Chaaley which they had not performed so far that night. The lead singer did an acoustic version of the crowd pleaserChaaley, part of it he left for the audience to complete.
It was quite a memorable night. After all, who would have expected the final line up to be Trio, Mishy, X-ray Athif and Ibra?

Hey, I didn't know Ibra did gigs. Surprise surprise. Hope he has more surprises up his sleeve if he wins. Cheers.
What a looser. Just a few above Baathil. I didn't even know Baathil was contesting. You learn something new everyday. Any way with just 400 votes out of 30k voters in Male I beleive that Ibura should now resign from the Male seat of Parliament .
