Headlined by multi-million-selling music legend El Debarge, the expanded and refined annual Barbados Music Awards, dubbed the Barbados Music, Fashion and Film Awards, will take place at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre on two nights – Saturday, January 11 and Sunday, January 12.
With a mega-lineup on each night, the event kicks off with night one (fashion and film) where luminaries including Marietta Carter-Narcisse, Marcia and Dave Weekes, the late Simon Foster and others will be recognized for their stellar achievements.
The first night will also feature 60 models, mainly Barbadian, with guest models from Jamaica, the United Kingdom, St Vincent and Guyana.
This runway show, held during the fashion component, will serve more so as a major fashion event being held in Barbados as part of the inaugural Fashion Awards, and will include presentations by Barbadians Jewel Shannon and Rhaj Paul, global brand Armani Exchange and Mariska’s Designs by Sonia Noel (Guyana).
Host for night 1 will be Hollywood actor Darrin Henson of Soul Food and Stomp The Yard fame.

Hosted by supermodel Lene Hall and Barbadian radio personality and former BMA winner Kirk Brown, music night will be headlined by the legendary El Debarge, whose hits include Love Me In A Special Way, All This Love, Rhythm Of The Night, Time Will Reveal and numerous others.
