All Stars thrills fans in Bahamas

Other live band performances included Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons with the Asylum Band and Machel Montano and his band.

With thousands of patrons in attendance each night, the band also performed sets with Patrice Roberts, Farmer Nappy, Denise Belfon, Peter Ram and Lyrikal.

The highlight, however, came on night three with the All Stars as opening acts for Jamaican reggae superstar Beres Hammond and his band.

It was a highly-anticipated Caribbean music experience which ended the Carnival mega-concert series on a high note for organisers and patrons, according to a media release.

Event organiser Trevor Davis, expressed his admiration for the longest- standing music band in the Caribbean.

“Roy Cape All Stars were basically our resident band for three consecutive nights at the Bahamas Junkanoo mega-concerts and their professionalism just showed all the way.

They backed many of the artistes, and no matter the music catalogue, the performances were flawless.

We’re already looking forward to having the All Stars back in Bahamas for Carnival 2018 with the other soca artistes,” Davis said in the release..

“After three years, I definitely think Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival is on the right track. This is still a new experience for our locals, so to see them and our visitors having such a wonderful time tells us that we have something unique and special about our culture in the Bahamas that the world can see and be a part of.” Hosted by the Bahamas National Festivals Commission (BNFC), Junkanoo Carnival has grown in popularity over the last three years. In addition to the concerts series, there is also a Parade of the Bands in downtown Nassau that sees thousands of masqueraders and spectators annually.

As the Season of Brass Global Tour continues, Roy Cape All Stars will fly to Florida for Orlando carnival at the end of May, then Bermuda in June for Heroes Weekend, with Antigua and Toronto carnivals also on the tour radar.
