Antiguan born R&B vocalist Arianna Whyte, opened the festivities by singing both the Antigua & Barbuda and the American national anthems and then later serenaded attendees with her unique melodious voice.
The mistress of ceremonies, the charming and talented Monica Matthews, regaled the crowd with poetry that evoked memories of carefree days running barefoot on the islands with a charm that kept the audience entertained throughout the night. The night’s entertainment continued with Antiguan artist Kenne Blessing and King Danskie who rocked the crowd at various times during the night. The Atlanta based “After4” band made a spectacular debut that brought the crowd to its feet with their rendition of well known soca and calypso tunes.
Classic tunes and patriotic songs from such legendary artist as King Swallow, Short shirt, and Obstinate among others were spun by the famous DJ Chickie of Chickie Hi-FI who flew in from Antigua for the occasion.
The program also included awards to two young scholars of five hundred dollars in scholarship funds for the pursuit of higher education. One of the organization’s members, Ralph Gordon, was recognized for his tireless dedication to the Antigua & Barbuda Association of Georgia.
