If you're a fan of Belizean Bands, and you're from northern Belize or the Cayo District, you'll know the Super Furia Band. They hail from Orange Walk Town, with the nucleus of the band coming from the Alcoser Family. They have gained a following over the years due to their tireless touring and performance schedule.
This coming Sunday, Valentines Day, the band will be celebrating its 35th anniversary. And, to formally recognize their commitment to music, the Governor-General, Sir Colville Young, has awarded them a proclamation to mark this milestone. This morning, Francisco Alcoser, the band's manager and one of the founding members, stopped by our offices to discuss its origins.

The band is quickly adjusting this COVID-19 virtual world, and so, their anniversary concert you heard Alcoser speaking about will be live-streamed on their Facebook page. The event starts at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
