Turks and Caicos music festival announces superstar line-up
Published on Monday, April 23, 2007

GRAND TURK, Turks and Caicos Islands: The countdown has begun for the 4th Annual Turks & Caicos Music and Cultural Festival set to take place July 30 through August 6. The excitement is beginning to build as this year’s festival brings some of the world’s biggest international superstars to perform in the Islands.

Don Gardiner, Chairman of the Tourist Board, is sure that this year’s line-up will be the best ever. “We have worked hard to attract international superstars from a wide genre of music to come and perform at this year’s Festival. When you mix in the great cultural slate of events, including The Annual Miss Turks & Caicos beauty pageant, it becomes the must do event of the year in Turks and Caicos Islands and perhaps more importantly, becomes the anchor event in promoting Turks & Caicos as the premiere destination for international travellers”.

The Annual Music and Cultural Festival fuses local music and culture with tinges of international flavour making this weeklong festival, the leading event for the Turks and Caicos. The 2007 Festival encompasses international superstars, great artists from Turks & Caicos, and musical legends from across the Caribbean.

Here is the star studded international musical line-up for this year’s Festival.

John Legend
Michael Bolton
India.Arie
Kenny Rogers
Freddie Jackson
Air Supply
The “Art of Soca” featuring David Rudder, Shadow and Kevin Lyttle

The special Caribbean music tribute entitled “The Art of Soca” will feature performances by Soca legends, performing hit after hit, in a gala event that will certainly stir up the passions of all in attendance. Additional international stars including surprise acts as well as the top Turks and Caicos performers are still to be added to the star-studded line-up.

Ralph Higgs, the Deputy Director of Tourism for the Turks & Caicos Islands, is pleased with the diverse range of musical superstars set to perform at this year’s festival. “When you realize that you have Grammy award winners, international superstars that have sold hundreds of millions of records worldwide, current performers on top of the charts today, you understand that the Festival has something for all tastes. By diversifying the line-up we expect more people than ever to attend the Festival, attract more of our permanent residents, bring more visitors from overseas to travel and discover the Turks & Caicos, and include our beautiful country on their future vacation plans as well.”

This year’s festival is being produced by TurnKey Productions, and Walter Elmore, TurnKey's president, is especially excited to be working on the Turks & Caicos Festival. “Turks & Caicos is a beautiful country with probably the most outstanding beaches and water I have ever seen. The ability to bring some wonderful performers to enjoy the destination put on a great show that everyone enjoys and takes pride and ownership in, is why we are working with the Tourist Board and helping stage this year’s event. I have no doubt that this year’s festival will generate tremendous excitement, not only here in Turks & Caicos, but overseas, and help bring additional visitors to this great destination”.

The Annual Music and Cultural Festival put on by The Turks and Caicos Tourist Board was first introduced in October of 2003 at the Turtle Cove Marina in Providenciales and now boasts a following of over 8,000 people.

The 2007 Music and Cultural Festival will be widely advertised throughout the United States in print media and on radio and television stations whose audience share the same demographics as those targeted by the destination.

Additionally, a full one-hour television show with highlights and footage of all concerts will be aired next year prior to the 2008 festival as well as the production of a CD-ROM to be used as part of the Tourist Board’s promotional collateral.

Yung Joc, Lion Dread and Mr. Vegas
Shadow and Crazy at Carnival village


~ For Cultural Blend Showdown ~
PHILIPSBURG--With a line-up of artists such as rapper Yung Joc, dancehall king Mr. Vegas, soca monarch Crazy and the legendary King Shadow topping the list of performers at the first Cultural Blend at Carnival Village on May 4, Carnival 2007 will certainly end with a “big bang.”

Ethiopian reggae singer Lion Dread will also make a special appearance on stage singing some of his latest hits, including “Mama Ethiopia.” He is one of the promoters’ surprise specials for this special event sponsored by local cellular phone company TelCell.

The show will be hosted by well-known Tempo hostess Jeanille of Trinidad
and show time is at 8:00pm. Local promoter Triple M. Promotions has secured line-up of talented local musicians, including DJ Shine, and 4 D Haterz, to join these phenomenal international artistes to put on the first Cultural Mix Show for the island.

Yung Joc, aka Jasiel Robinson, whose album New Joc City is set for a summer release, is extremely passionate and determined to make a better life for himself, his family and his comrades. Joc, whose hip-hop inspirations came from Outkast, Goodie Mob, Tupac, and the Notorious B.I.G. will be on stage in St. Maarten to perform for what is expected to be the biggest concert of the year.

He will be performing on the same stage with one of Jamaica’s hottest rising stars, Mr. Vegas, who first topped Jamaica’s music charts in 1997 with the dancehall hit “Heads High and Nike Air.” He is known for his distinctive vocals fusing melodious singing with precision “deejaying” (rapping). Other songs in his arsenal include “Pull Up,” “Tamale” and “Hot Gal Today.”

As the promoters have dubbed this hit show a “Cultural Mix,” it would not be complete without soca and calypso, and one of the Caribbean’s most talented calypsonians and soca singers combined for the past 25 years has been “Crazy.”

He was born Edwin Ayoung in Trinidad and seems to have been destined for greatness
. From the moment he entered the musical arena, he has been one of the most controversial, comical and downright entertaining artists the art form has ever seen or heard. His lyrical blend of serious situations tuned into comedy catches the attention of fans in almost every song he produces, and his music gives you that happy sense of wanting to laugh while dancing, a sure bet for a good time.
