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.
