The 10^th annual Unite-A-Fest in its three days of fun-filled excitement and entertainment, brought together Caribbean nationals from all over Broward and from far as New York (Spring breakers were here in droves) to come out and enjoy acts like Rupee, living legend, Calypso Rose, Leon Coldero & Code 868, Glen Washington and a host of others.

This weekend affair had everything to entertain the entire family. Junkanoo from the Bahamas, Moko Jumbie from the US Virgin Islands, games, rides, and definitely the stage show. The organizers must be commended for making it to 10 years, and more so for making the 10^th year the success it has been. Here are some photo highlights of the three-day event:

Babylon to release the ‘Cure’

Over the next four months, Jah Cure will have to “behave himself” then he will finally come from behind those prison walls of the Tower Street Adult Correctional Center. Cure should be walking the streets of Kingston again, soon and giving his fans what they have been longing for. Jah Cure, whose real name is Sycatore Alcock, was found guilty of robbery, rape and illegal possession of a firearm. It what is often described as a very sketchy trial, Cure was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 1998. Reggae Sunspash could definitely see the crooner if he is released in released in late July. But there the word out is that Jah Cure might organize a major concert to celebrate his freedom. He has made a stream of singles over the last three years which have worked wonders for Jah Cure's popularity; therefore, his re-entry on the entertainment scene should be more than warmly welcomed by his fans. Well I can’t wait to see him perform, as I happen to like many of his singles.
