Homegrown musicians gear up for show
With the advent of home computers and the availability of affordable software, it seems like Belizean artists are coming of age virtually every day. With such flamboyant names as Johnny Bling, Indio, Huligan and Gambino, the works coming out of these self-made artists are as varied as their personalities. This weekend, they will put it all on stage at the City Centre and today the promoters and one of the performers stopped by our studios to issue a personal invitation.
Charles Herrera, Promoter
?The name of the how is ?Where is the love 2004?. It is for Belizean artists, done by Belizean artists inside the City Centre, November thirteenth.?

The doors open at nine o’clock on Saturday night at the City Centre, with emcees Kenny G and Alfrain Supal. Herrera says the “Where is the Love 2004” concert will also pay tribute to a fallen artist “Action Fire” who died two years ago on November twenty second.
