Bajans get opportunity to Taste the Rhythms with Burna Boy in Saint Lucia

Excitement is buzzing in Saint Lucia as the island prepares to host Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Burna Boy on May 3. Billed as Burna Boy Live in Concert, the highly-anticipated event comes off at The Vigie Playing Field (The SAB), Castries, Saint Lucia.

Event organiser and managing director of Rhythm FM Inc., Dwayne Mendes, told Barbados TODAY that attendees are in for a memorable experience. He pointed out that Burna Boy is one of the most iconic and universally adored artists of our time, and his performance promises to be unforgettable.

He proudly touted the event as much more than music.

“We’re crafting an immersive atmosphere complete with a stunning ambience, an array of delectable food options, and premium bars offering bottle service and exclusive signature cocktails. Get ready for an evening that will pleasure all your senses and create memories to last a lifetime,” he shared excitedly.

The concert will be a huge promotional opportunity to boost homegrown Saint Lucian talent with performances from a melange of Saint Lucia’s biggest artists and up-and-coming acts. One major highlight is 75Greatest, including the electrifying Umpa, Shemmy J, Dhirv 2 Funny, and Cooyah. To add to the impressive lineup, DJs from Blazin 99.3 FM and from across the Caribbean will be taking the stage.

Mendes is extending an invitation not only to Saint Lucians but also to people from Barbados and other Caribbean islands to experience the island’s beauty and vibrancy.
