The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is one of the biggest, most renowned, and most enduring Jazz festivals in all of North America - and this year Belize will be features prominently. The festival runs from Apail 22nd to May first and the Festival organizers have selected six Belziean acts to perform. They are The Garifuna Collective, Wageirale Drummers, Bredda David & Tribal Vibes, Sweet Pain with Chico Ramos and Supa G, Talla Walla vibrations and TR Shine.
Today we spoke with the Music Ambassador about how they got selected and what it means:
The selected performers will be showcased inside the Belize Pavilion and on two Festival stages outside the Pavilion.
Now, as we said, the festival is a really big deal - it is one of the most prestigious and well attended Jazz festivals.
This year's headliners include Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Lauryn Hill, Pearl Jam, Nick Jonas and Snoop Dogg and very many others.
