The following group believes you also need to be vigilant about what we listen to. This coming Saturday night in Ladyville, Belizean gospel singers will be performing lively and positive music. The concert is being done through collaboration with the Village Council and will be held on the Ladyville basketball court.  According to Promoter and performer, Vinson “Spiritual Vibes” Hill, they want to show the youths an alternative to the violence and gunplay that surrounds them every day.
