Trina, DeMarco & R-City to headline BVI Spring Fest
The line up includes several local, regional and international artists and the action is set for Myett’s beach front in Cane Garden Bay on the main island of Tortola.
Speaking with this news site on Friday evening, February 26, 2016, Akima D. Brooks of Five Star Promotions said Spring Fest seeks to fill the void created by the absence of Music Fest.
“This is our second annual Spring Fest and because Music Fest had been missing for the past few years, we said we would try to improve with a mini Music Fest so that people will still feel that Music Fest vibe because as you know everyone loves music on the beach and the outdoors,” she said.
Brooks noted that there will also be a Black Jack Run as part of the Spring Fest.
She said the action commences on Friday March 4, 2016 with the VI All Stars featuring local, regional and international acts, including female rapper Trina of the United States and R-City from the USVI.
“We are happy to have R-City since they are very out there right now. Trina is a popular rapper who has been around for ten or 15 years. She is more of a feminist when it comes to rapping and raps more for the ladies telling them not to be soft on the guys,” said Brooks.
She said too that on that night there will be the Stylee band, See Saw and Shaw. There will also be Satellite Band and Showtime. The DJ for that night will be DJ MacMilli.
She is encouraging everyone to wear something VI for the Friday night VI All Stars.
On Saturday night March 5, 2016 will be International Flag Night and headlining will be dance Hall sensation De Marco from Jamaica. There will also be Hypa Active from St Vincent.
“We tried to incorporate every island for that night so we have St Vincent, Jamaica, Trinidad, St Maarten, the USVI and the BVI.”
She said there will be Poizon out of the USVI, DJ Kuga, DJ Dre and a rapper named Figga.
On Sunday March 6, 2016 there will be the Black Jack Run for which prizes will be awarded and a Latin Fiesta catering to the Dominicanos resident in the VI.
Sponsors for the event include Coors Light, Carib Beer, Caribbean Cellars, BVI Tourist Board, CCT, Tico, Hazem’s Beauty Supplies, Guinness, Johnnie Walker, Virgin Islands News Online, Tola Radio, Myetts and CBN.
