Country Boys hosted at Consulate in New York


NEW YORK, July 1, 2011 – The Consulate-General of Grenada in New York this week hosted an official welcome reception for one of the most popular bands from Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
The Country Boys are in New York on a three-week tour with performances which began last weekend and will culminate at the annual Grenada Day Celebrations at St Andrew’s Park in Brooklyn on July 17.
Members of the band visited the offices of the Consulate and the Permanent Mission of Grenada to the United Nations on Thursday followed by a social evening which was attended by Ambassador Dessima Williams and Consul General Derrick James.
“You are not here as Country Boys but as ambassadors of the State of Grenada,” said Consul General James. He thanked Mr Leo Joseph for organising the Country Boys’ tour to the United States.
The touring group performed to a sell-out audience at the Nazareth High School in Brooklyn on June 25 and will stage another show on July 10, followed by their opening acts at the Grenada Day Celebrations.
