13th Annual St. Kitts Music Festival Slated for June 25-27

Now enjoying its 13th anniversary, the multi-genre St. Kitts Music Festival will be held this year over three nights from June 25 to 27, 2009.

While providing a platform for Caribbean artists, the event has previously attracted such popular and in-demand acts as John Legend, Billy Ocean, Michael Bolton, Wyclef Jean, Ne-Yo, Air Supply, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers, Boyz II Men, Mario, Ashanti, Shaggy, Eve, the Temptations, Chaka Khan, Busta Rhymes, Marchel Montano and more. Artists performing at this year’s Festival will be announced over the next few weeks.

The annual St. Kitts Music Festival is the perfect opportunity for Caribbean-Americans to explore their roots more deeply through music. It is the only Caribbean music festival to feature such a widely varied mix of musical styles, lending it appeal to all genuine music lovers.

Among the many genres of music represented at the St Kitts Music Festival are soca, calypso, reggae, dance hall, R&B, hip-hop, zouk and jazz. Typically held over the last weekend in June, the Music Festival is also ideally timed in conjunction with the conclusion of Black Music Month, which pays tribute to music originating from black culture.
