The all-star cast is ready to perform for charity in support of the Regional Hurricane Relief Drive.
The highly anticipated I Am Live Aid concert is set to be held on Sunday at the newly refurbished Wildey Gymnasium.
Coming four weeks after the initially advertised September date, the event is expected to be a fantastic showcase of local and regional talent on one fantastic stage for charity.
According to one of the organisers of the Relief Drive programme, “this is not just another fundraising drive. What I, the artistes and the other organisers of this project have come together to produce is a long-term fundraising drive to respond to the tragedies that occur in the region and to raise an understanding that in dire times such as these.
“We as a Caribbean are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers and to this end we are the first responders when disaster strikes.
“We hope that with the benefit concert, we can raise awareness, care packages and funds to help communities rebuild and families reconnect in Dominica, helping them all regain some normalcy in the shortest time possible.”
Benefit supporters can look forward to performances from Dominica’s songbird Michelle Henderson and Barbuda’s Caribana Soca Monarch, Splash, both of whom though severely affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, have committed to attend.
The benefit will be powered with performances from Jamaica’s Freddie McGregor and Queen Ifrica, Martinique’s Sael, Road March Queen Michelle “Big Red” King from Guyana, Skinny Fabulous and Dynamite representing St Vincent and the Grenadines and Antigua’s Drastic and Supa Dymond.
Barbados will be represented by monarchs RPB and Lil Rick, Alison Hinds, TC, Tamara Marshall, Biggie Irie, MRBLOOD, Buggy Nhakente, Kirk Brown, Marzville, Dancin’ Africa, Allison Norville, Neesha Woodz and De Warrior. (PR)
