Since its inception in 2000, KREYOLFEST has maintained a reputation
for outstanding professionalism, best organized Caribbean festival in

diverse, yet well put together performances.
"We're tremendously satisfied with the line up," said Garry

I know that they already discussed that (Wingate park) issue last year BUT I still believe that there is better place in Brooklyn to hold that festival
probably not the place all the way in downtown Brooklyn where they wanted to transfer it but ...
I'm happy that Djakout Mizik is back in the line up
It's a good thing also that the line up is not packed with bands BUT what happened to T-Vice or even Zin (NY se lakay Zin)??
BC & RF ??? what happened to the "Kote RF ye, BC pa la" _________________ Super Combo ft. Nemours Jean-Baptiste (sax), Eddy Calixte (my dad), Wagner Lalane (Dr. Lalane), & Carlo Vieux
