St. Kitts Music Festival (Basseterre, St. Kitts, June 23-25)
The Eastern Caribbean is home to various world-class music festivals over the course of the year — Moonsplash in Anguilla and St. Lucia Jazz Fest in the spring; the World Creole Music Festival in Dominica in October. But there are not many in the summer. with the exception of the St. Kitts Music Festival. As usual, this year’s lineup is a diverse one, with reggae stars Damian Marley, Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage and Dexta Daps set to perform along with 50 Cent, The O’Jays, El Mayor Clasico and St. Kitts’ own Crucial Bankie, as well as Eastern Caribbean supergroup, The Original Bouyon Pioneers. We’re definitely looking forward to making it down to St. Kitts one of these times.
