These Caribbean music acts perform classic covers alongside original material, suiting outdoor celebrations, wedding receptions and party entertainment.

Most bands offer two or three 45-minute sets and bring their own PA for venues without in-house sound.

We gave him a few songs we wanted and left the rest upto him, he built the atmosphere with each sing and led us perfectly into our reception. Didn’t want his set to end.
