Feat. BLACK CHINEY
March 28th, 2009
Under the tent at the Wynott Island in Culture Capital Dangriga was the party people in that city are still talking about. The hefty line up of Belizean Punta Rock Mega Stars all topped off with an international flavor Black Chiney.
Punta Rock artist like Continental Cat, Supa G, Reckless and the New Rebels Band tore up the stage with their hit after hit adrenaline charged performances. I haven’t seen a Reckless performance since I was 13 years old and Supa G and Reckless were in the group Punta Rebels. His performance was my personal favorite.
This was Black Chiney’s first time in Dangriga, but they are no strangers in that city. People rushed Willy and Bobby Chin for autographs and pictures almost dragging them off their feet with all the excitement. I have never been to a Black Chiney event so this phenomenon caught me by surprise. Their stage performance was “outta a orda”, they knew exactly what to play, when to play it and what to say to keep the crowd going and the ladies moving.
Definitely had a whole lot of fun on the beachside in Dangriga, at Wynott Island. Richie’s Bday Special was hype.
BET COMEDIAN IN BELIZE
April 2, 2009
BET Comedian, radioman, and a very nice and approachable person Joe Clair is in the Belize shooting what is the first episode of his new travel show to be pitched to BET, BETJ in the US and it will also be on the web for viewing.
The show will showcase him traveling to different destinations experiencing the culture, the nightlife, the art, the people, the food. He intends to enlighten black people everywhere to what is and I quote “ hip, hot and happening”.
I met up with Joe Clair and his TV crew, 8:30 last night at the bar/lounge at Traveller’s Ltd. on the Northern Highway where they were commencing interviews with local artists like Leila Vernon, Lord Rhaburn, Mr. Peters and Melonie Gillett. After the interviews they were entertained with performances by the artists present on camera.
He intends to experience every part of Belize the Belizean way, not the brochure way, and we all know how much diversity Belize has to offer. Welcome to Belize Joe Clair, and good luck on your shoots. Look out for BET Comedian Joe Clair and his TV crew in your area.
