TKA

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.

This was truly amazing from beginning to end. The music was pumping, people were dancing. People went to this concert as strangers but yet everyone acted as they knew each other. That is what type of impact freestyle has on people and how this concert did the same. I was on my feet fist pumping, dancing all night long I didn't want it to end. It brought me back to my clubbing days. When I got home I cranked up my amp and played some more freestyle.. I definitely will go to another event.

This concert was jam packed with all of my favorite freestyle oerformers. There was never a dull moment. The crowd was kept entertained and was full of energy. I loved every moment.

Very disappointed that we had front row seats and most of the time the stage did not spin and we were blocked by the DJ and all the Band equipment.Disappointed by the lack of security.No one stopped everyone from coming up and crowing the isles. Disappointed with the Cover Girls (the were not the originals) would have been better if Lizette Melendez or Safire performed.

By far, this was the best concert we have seen in a long time. All the acts were great. Sugar Hill and George Lamond were incredible. Sound system was great. They said the would do it again next year. Hope so.

This show was just amazing....It took me back to the 80's & 90's which btw is the greatest era of music. Every performance just got better and better...The music was pumping everyone was jumping just like the clubs back in the day. Judy Torres, Brenda K., Corina, Coro, Noel, The Cover Girls, George Lamond & TKA killed it!!! Everyone else was great too....Can't wait too go again!

This annual concert gets better every year! Different artists/different show each year. Artists also sang some cover songs from our era making it more fun and different for those of us who go to all the freestyle concerts thru the yr. Dj was great! Turned most songs into a faster clubish sound. Outside venue on a summer night- amazing. (Rest rooms however are gross.)

My husband and I had an amazing time at this concert. I took him for his 47th birthday and it felt like high school all over again . Love this venue because it s not huge and anywhere you sit are great seats, but I managed to get seats in the fifth row since I purchased early. It if felt like we could reach out and touch the singers . I have to mention that the free parking is a plus . Drinks were reasonably priced compared to other venues . It was great to hear and dance to all the freestyle songs. Coro, Judy Torres and the Cover Girls were amazing! Unfortunately we felt Sa-Fire could ve song more of her lyrics instead of pointing the mic to the audience every few words ... audience participation is cool but it kept losing the feel of the song :( Nayobe was also amazing. Stevie B sounded just as he did in his early years . We were taken back in time and I cannot wait to do it again next year ! This is what you call real music !

I've went to several other of these shows and they were alwaya so good. This year they tried something different. They sang a lot of covers of other people's songs. It was also 4 1/2 hours long. Half of the people left. If they stick to singing what we all came to hear it would be great. This time around I was bored and tired.

There were lots of various artists and different types of music, mostly freestyle obviously. I knew most of the artists but there were definitely some lesser known. The concert was well over 4 hours which I appreciated. It just got to be a little much when there was a hip hop break after every performer change. It felt a little forced. Overall I would definitely recommend.

This is my 2nd year attending the Freestyle concert and I would have to say it was not as good as the first one. About half the performers were very good, the others were average. The crowd for last year was much better, this year was a bunch of drunk and high 40+ year old's in the crowd. Live nation security is a joke, they know nothing about crowd control as these drunk and high 40+ crowd filled every isle in the place. Basically pay for the cheap seats and slowly work your way up to as close to the front as you can get because Live Nations security has no idea what they are doing. I actually watched one security person try and stop a member of the audio crew.

There were several acts on this show and they all represented (save one, I'll explain). Judy Torres, Coro, Crystal Waters, Soulsonic Force, Cynthia, Sa-Fire, TKA, etc. Just phenomenal. And the crowd! The crowd was live for the entire show. I would've given it 5 stars except for one thing. The Cover Girls were NOT the Cover Girls. I don't know who those ladies were, but they were not the authentic group. Would've been a perfect show had it not been for this.

This event was four and a half hours long. It seemed as if the first few acts were lip syncing as well. Overall, it was fun to see some of the freestyle acts from the '80's. I only wished the show wasn't as long. It was drawn out with appearances by a reality tv star and the two hosts.

If you grew up in the late 80's, early 90's in or around NYC this is a "can't miss show" specifically if you're of Hispanic and/or Italian ancestry. That was our time. This was our Music.
