I just heard Magnet Man was going to be the first Bajan to perfrom in Russia, he is apparently performing to the music industry giants of Eastern Europe at Russia's number one music convention in June. His live band from Barbados are going too?
If any one knows if this is a first for A Bajan to perfrom in Russia pleaee confirm, according to all press it is?
Its really great how our performers are reaching ALL around the world and spreding our music and culture wherever they go/
. Good luck Magnet Man, keep it up!
Bless!

Thanks for stopping by Georgia. It's true, Magnet Man is the first Bajan to perform in Russia.
