Brace yourselves, New York! Bouyon Fest 2024 is about to make waves on August 25 at Coney Island with its explosive debut! This highly anticipated festival will electrify the city with a dazzling showcase of Bouyon music, featuring a lineup of legendary artists and a celebration of Caribbean culture like never before.
Bouyon, a pulsating fusion of traditional Caribbean rhythms and cutting-edge beats, is set to take center stage. Originating from Dominica, Bouyon blends traditional island music such as Bele, Quadrille, Jing Ping, Mazouk, Kadans, and goat-skin drums with contemporary elements to create an electrifying musical phenomenon. Pioneered by the renowned Windward Caribbean Kulture (WCK Band), Bouyon merges Cadence-Lypso with Jing Ping sounds, enhanced by pulsating drums and digital beats.
And let’s talk about Dominica – the island that’s not only dazzling the world with its stunning landscapes but also made history by snagging its first-ever gold medal at the Paris Olympics! Dominica’s musical innovation, Bouyon, is taking the global stage by storm.
This year’s festival lineup is nothing short of phenomenal. It features renowned artists, including Triple Kay, Asa Bantan, Ridge, Pudaz, Burning Flames, Riddle, DJ MJ, Sal Infrared, Luchshiy, 507, Dankers, ByFarMega, and many more. Each performance promises to ignite the stage with Bouyon’s vibrant energy and infectious rhythms.
As a proud partner, the Caribbean Music Award recognizes the genre’s explosive rise, with seven Bouyon artists up for nominations this year. Bouyon is solidifying its place on the global music map, and you’re invited to witness this thrilling evolution firsthand.
