The third season of Baje to the World Talent Show, an initiative of the Community Development Department (CDD) in the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment, will officially launch on Sunday, January 22, at the Gall Hill Hardcourt in St. John.
Dwayne Grazette, Producer of the show, explained that the free event promises to be a full day of activity for the entire family. He said: “We get started at 2:00 p.m. with a Family Fun Day featuring the City of Bridgetown Cooperative Credit Union’s Children’s Play Zone with rides, jumping tents and face painting, as well as a special work-out session with Spinny, for the fitness enthusiasts.
“At 8:00 p.m., we kick off our mega launch concert with an impressive cast of local performers, including season two winner Tarique O’Neal and finalist Tae, Edwin Yearwood and Krosfyah, Road March King Brucelee Almightee and Kimberly Inniss.”
Grazette added that the other performances, which will range from dance to music and comedy, will come from the Haynesville Youth Club, Quan De Artiste, Miguel White & Mylon Clarke, ZigE Walcott & Nakita, Jason & Biko, Chris The Klassic and Kelvin Carvalho & Friends. There will also be a special tribute to the late Carolyn Leacock by Ronnie Morris & Shadia Marshall.
Encouraging Barbadians to come out and enjoy the activities, Grazette added: “During the concert Barbadians will get full details on this year’s programme, including the grand prize up for grabs, the registration process for auditions and other important information on various aspects of Baje to the World and its goal to develop well-rounded Barbadian artistes.
“Season two was a huge success and many Bajans are looking forward to this new series. We are anxiously awaiting the selection process of the lucky Barbadians who will go forward to our preliminaries/challenges, where they will have the opportunity to showcase their talent for the entire country.” (GIS/PR)
