Byron Lee and a full caravan of his Dragonaires arrived in Belize today for his first show in two years. The pre-Independence bash takes place tomorrow night at the City Center and Oscar B and Jumo Primo will be alongside the Byron. They will be joined by two ladies you haven't seen in a while, the legendary Cindy Lewis and Lima Calbio. Byron and his Dragonaires stopped by our studios this afternoon and they gave Keith Swift a preview of tomorrow's concert.
Jumo Primo, Dragonaire
"Its awesome. Like Oscar will tell you, it's like home because Belize is like home to me. It reminds me of home because the people."
Lima Calbio, Guest Performer
"Don't come dressed with too much, come with as little as possible, shorts and what have you because you know it will be hot. The dress code will not too much."
Oscar B., Dragonaire
"I'm really glad to be back in Belize after two years and when we come to Belize you know a lot of drama has been happening at all these and we don't want none of that this year so come early."
Byron Lee,
"As you know, Oscar, Lima, and Jumo is a hard act to follow but we want to emphasize that tomorrow night we will play the whole genre of the music from the band. We have performing for fifty years and we have earned the right to represent the Caribbean."
Cindy Lewis, Dragonaire
"Remember to dress casually and BLD spells energy, BLD spells sweating, and BLD spells just feeling free and having fun. There is something for everybody, from 6 to 65 we have something."
Lima Calbio,
"I would like the guys to apply for the position of gardener and I know when they come down the ladies will want to come, their wives, their girlfriends, or what have you, will want to come and see what this garden is all about. So tomorrow night the place to be is the City Center."
