Three Caribbean female artistes, two from Jamaica and another from Barbados, will be honoured by the organisers, The Friends of St Catherine Incorporated (FOSC), at a Heroes Day Salute concert at the Mas Camp on Monday night.
The female artistes from Jamaica are Tanya Stephens and Alaine, and from Barbados, soca queen Alison Hinds.
The organisers have taken the opportunity to use these three female artistes to headline each segment of the show, dancehall – Alaine; soca – Alison Hinds; reggae – Tanya Stephens.
Also performing on the show are former Magnum Kings and Queens finalist, Specialist, Villa Vil, and soca singer Shadow Man from St Maarten.
Tinga Stewart and Eddie Fitzroy are also confirmed for the show. Kurfew will be the backing band. The FOSC is a charity organisation that was established to assist the community to build and improve the artistic, cultural, educational, recreational and social well-being of residents in the parish of St Catherine. Each year, the organisation hosts various fund-raising events in a bid to raise funds to support the various charities it assists.
Meanwhile, the Heroes Day Salute will be hosting two promo parties at the Natural Touch Vegetarian Café (18 Barbican Road, Shop # 22, Orchid Village Plaza), on Saturday, October 15, from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. This promo party is free and is set to allow fans of the artistes to meet and mingle with the Heroes Day Salute performers. Persons attending these parties will have the opportunity of getting autographs and photos with their favourite artistes.
