The featured bands are a first in collaboration for Statia and all hail from a musical history of culture and vibes! Charles Lindo, director of Tourism in St. Eustatius, tells visitors, "Feel the Heat WCK mashing up the village and Rohie Ryddim burning up the streets".
WCK Band formed in 1988, playing an experimental fusion of cadence-lypso with the island's jing ping sound. The result became known as bouyon, and has re-established Dominica in the field of popular music. Cadence-lypso was developed in the 1970s, and was the first style of Dominican music to find international acclaim, eventually becoming a part of styles like zouk.
Rohie Ryddim lead by Rohan (Rohie) Williams, lead Vocalist and Composer, is a hybrid of the many distinctive music genres like salsa, merengue, bachata, compas, zouk, soca, bouyon and kardass. By incorporating these genres together, Rohie Ryddim has created a new style of music, fusion, that is unique to the friendly island of St. Maarten. He is most popularly known for his hit "Closer Baby".
Jamm Boyzz Band started in 1996 when the founding members were just teenagers at high school. The Jamm Boyzz Band is an all-round Caribbean music band from St. Eustatius. The band plays Soca, Kompas, Zouk, Bouyon, Reggae, Dancehall, and a touch of Latin music. The band members went abroad to study after finishing high school but by the beginning of 2009 most of the members of Jamm Boyzz successfully completed their studies and returned home to Statia. Better than ever Jamm Boyzz are ready for you!
"We wanted to create an event to remember in St. Eustatius", stated Clara "Crem" Mathew. "We hope to see everyone come out and have a good time as we have many surprises in store, as well as prizes to be won".
