The lineup included Itebulous, former member of the Ultrasonics from Nevis, Dejour, who is quickly becoming a favorite among the people of St Kitts and Nevis, and popular reggae artiste Virgil Hodge.
The event was hosted by Sweet Sister Sensia, a popular and beloved face in the federation’s music sector. DJs Jus-Us, KMD, Bajan Touch and DJ Godfather were responsible for manning the dance floor for the celebration.
