Sure, it's got picture-perfect beaches and crystalline waters, but
St. Kitts isn't all about serene natural beauty. This island knows how to groove, too. Kittitians are gearing up for their annual music festival, one of the Caribbean's hottest events, and with Grammy-winner
Regina Belle headlining, this year promises to be a knockout. Scheduled for
June 25-27, the festival celebrates its 13th straight year with a cornucopia of musical styles — everything from R&B, jazz and hip-hop to reggae, calypso, and even Gospel — drawing performers and bands from all over the Caribbean and the world. (Singer
John Legend is pictured here, from last year's fest). In addition to Ms. Belle, 2009's lineup includes King Konris, Nu Vybes, The Grand Masters, Mavado, Biggie Irie, Edwin Yearwood, Lord Nelson, Burning Spear, Beres Hammond, T-Pain, the Odisi Band, and Stephen Marley. Tickets will run you US$50 per person, per night; snag them through the festival's excellent web site,
stkittsmusicfestival.com. And for more info about St. Kitts itself, check out the island's tourism site,
