THE NANIKI Barbados Music Festival event on the lawns of Ilaro Court East last Saturday night was an occasion of contrasting musical tones.

The evening was shaped by the operatic stylings of American recording artiste Chrisette Michele and the edgy Caribbean strains of Barbadian artistes Ch’An and the band 2 Mile Hill.

Michele, a Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, who is no stranger to Barbados or the Naniki stage, caused the audience – who until then had been sipping wine as they reclined in their seats – to rush to the stage to secure the best vantage point. 

Patrons armed themselves with their phones to record the very minute that Michele appeared dressed in a sparkling sheer green overall, backed by her live band and two agile female dancers. (TG)
