They got a blend of styles, and are steadily building their local audience with their weekly shows. What do you think about them? Have you seen them perform live yet? Or heard their newest album? What is the future of Bahamian Reggae? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

Fowl Cay: The Diving Experience

Abaco’s Fowl Cay became a Bahamian National Park in 2009, 35 years after the first proposal for its protection was submitted to the Government. A later video will look at that process, this is the story of divers and their experience at Fowl Cay. The dive industry was a major factor in the Park’s creation. Diving is an important factor in the Bahamian economy and a mainstay of the ecotourism industry. If you like the video please let us know by making a comment.
