Hmmm. Would be helpful to have what was objectionable about this comment pointed out. It essentially champions Bermuda’s music along with music of the Spanish, French and English Caribbean….with which Bermuda shares much. Bermuda’s “Gombay” is essentially Bermuda’s version of Cuban Conga and, to some extent, Haiti’s Lenten ” Rara”. There are many analogies throughout the region – even though Bermuda is a bit northeast of the aforementioned zones. However, since the AC concert fell under the auspices of ” Fidelity International”, anyone who has listened to the musical debris Fidelity asks its clients to tolerate while waiting for an attendant to respond to a call will be surprised the AC concert’s lineup was as good as it was.

Interesting lineup for the “party of the year”. Jamaica seems to be well represented and with the inclusion of Soca, the English Caribbean in general is well represented. Too bad music of the Spanish Caribbean ( Cuba, Puerto Rico) and the French Caribbean ( Haiti ’s Twoubadou and Konpa) are not in the line up. Hopefully, the producers have the capacity to include some of the fabulous groups stemming from Bermuda like ” V eye aka Vi-bez & Larry Tacklyn ” and, of course, for any “party” in Bermuda there should be plenty of “Gombay” music and dance. On the other hand, one would not want the Scottish presence in Bermuda to be overlooked so a dash of local “ pipe band “ music would contribute generously to the “ party of the year”. After all, the Americas Cup is an international event and one would expect the host country as well as the surrounding area to be well represented musically.

The Joe concert the other night as $125 and you got to see one international artists.

On top of that drinks were starting at $10 and up. And no one said a thing. Strange.
