Some may appreciate that every country, regardless of race, creed or color, has an AIDS epidemic. Some may also appreciate that there are numerous Island Nations in the Caribbean with an emergent AIDS population, namely, the Bahamas, Barbados, Haiti, St. Lucia, Turks & Caicos, Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and The Dominican Republic. In the past few years, the AIDS epidemic has worsened in this region, and these particular Island Nations have joined together to educate their region and stop the spread of HIV, AIDS and STDs.

Through research, West Indian Entertainment Ltd., the organizers of the Caribbean AIDS Awareness Festival, discovered that the majority of new infections of the disease are amongst persons between the ages of 16 and 30. In addition to learning this, they have also noticed that the most effective way of getting through to persons in this age group is through the music/entertainment industry.

Bearing in mind that persons in this age group are highly influenced by the music and entertainment industry, West Indian Entertainment Ltd decided to launch a Caribbean AIDS Awareness Concert/Festival that involves international and Caribbean artists speaking to the Caribbean public on HIV and AIDS Awareness, while performing at an “All Night” Concert. This regional AIDS campaign has been inspired by ‘46664 The Concert,’ which was held under the Patronage of Nelson Mandela, November 29th 2003 in Greenpoint Stadium, South Africa:
“It is our intention that this Caribbean AIDS Awareness Festival will become the biggest medium for educating the Caribbean’s young adults on HIV and AIDS. In addition, the festival will tour the Caribbean every summer, launching from Trinidad first and then moving on to the following Islands: St. Lucia, Barbados, Cuba, Haiti, Turks & Caicos, The Dominican Republic and Jamaica; and ending the summer with its grand finale in Nassau, Bahamas.”
The Countries participating in November’s upcoming Festival are: St. Lucia, The Bahamas, Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados, The Turks & Caicos Islands, Cuba, Haiti and The Dominican Republic. They expect to draw at least 10,000 persons from the region and South Florida to the festival in Nassau, but intend to educate at least 200,000others via various television rebroadcasts, radio broadcasts and the Internet. They will also be hosting two separate two-day ‘AIDS Seminars’ in one of the hotels in Nassau. One of the workshops will be directed at high school and college students and the other will be open to parents, the general public and AIDS Awareness Advocates.

The proceeds from the Festival scheduled for Nassau on Friday, November 12th will be shared between the Bahamas’ AIDS Camp run by Father Nottage and the various Caribbean AIDS Foundations and awareness organizations.
The Festival will be covered by 7 TV companies from around the Caribbean, 2 Entertainment News groups out of Canada, The BBC Network out of England will broadcast the Festival live via their worldwide services and there will also be 2 TV companies from the South Florida area.

The Festival promises to be like no other—a full 12-hour Caribbean event, with music from all the islands, as well as a sample of each island’s Carnival. So far, Canada as also joined in and signed four of their leading artists. England has signed three of their biggest names, and the U.S. has signed one artist as of today.

The event organizers will also be providing all-inclusive packages from several airport destinations in South Florida.
