Bustamento / Bob Marley

Nicky Bomba fronts this calypso and mento group, and the whole thing is built around dance rhythms and a positive feel. Calypso and mento are Caribbean styles that predate reggae, and they're rare on an Australian stage, which is part of the appeal. Based at Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays. If your event wants something with real rhythm to it that isn't the usual covers band, this is a genuinely different option.
