BAAM - Launch Edition 2015

f you are excited about Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival in May 2015, but have not yet decided on a group to hit the streets and dance with during the Road March, you may just want to take a closer look at the Xtasy Band. Xtasy officially launched during a special event at Breezes Resort, giving party-goers a sneak peek of what can be expected when the group comes out next year. The Xtasy Band is comprised of members, who because of their love of carnival and previous experience with the largest parade in Trinidad, have come together to establish their own brand. Xtasy was formed by a group of seasoned carnival-goers who hope to grow the Bahamas’ event into one of the worlds largest carnival destinations. “People can expect from the Xtasy Band a full carnival-like atmosphere and experience through it’s presentation of ‘The Mystery of Atlantis’. The people can also expect an all-inclusive parade providing for its participants; drinks, food, costumes and music, along with proper rest rooms and security services on the road,” Ann, The group‘s leader said. “We feel that the group differs from other groups in that it has the leadership who has been exposed to Junkanoo and carnival experiences and would be able to successfully transition our experience into an international carni-

val experience. As mandated by the government, this group will provide workshops, training and jobs for our Bahamian people as the festival progresses.” According to the group’s representative, the leadership and the administration of the Xtasy are very excited about the Bahamas Carnival Festival set for next May. They believe the venture will usher in new opportunities for artisans, food vendors, and will also give the group a chance to market their costumes internationally and locally, “creating a new revenue stream and a Bahamian experience for locals and tourist respectively.” “People participating in the Xtasy Band should be excited because it will be an all-inclusive band providing drinks and food for all those participating. Costumes will be easy to carry on the road. For visitors travelling after the parade who would like to take their experience with them, the costumes will be travel friendly and easily transportable. Costumes can be worn all during the parade without the masqueraders becoming tired. Additionally, the band will pro-

vide security on the road as long as the parade lasts,” the representative said. While the group’s initial launch was held last year, Xtasy will be hosting a number of events in the upcoming months to help raise funds that will go towards assisting in costume production, marketing & sales and more.

EDDIE MINNIS

Bahamian artist Eddie Minnis was born on October 14th, 1947. He was educated at St. John’s College and Government High School in Nassau. He graduated from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, in 1971 with a BSC. Degree in Architecture. However, since his first love had always been painting, he decided to pursue a career in art instead of architecture. Eddie is a self-taught artist. He has worked in a number of mediums including ink, watercolors and pastels, but he now specializes in oil painting with the palette knife. His interest in his method of painting began in 1965 and since he has developed a unique technique. Eddie’s paintings are strikingly dimensional in appearance and vibrate with the bright color and light of The Bahamas. Mr. Minnis held one man shows in 1969, 1972, 1976 and 1986. He has participated in numerous group shows both locally and abroad. His paintings are in private collections in many parts of the world including the U.S.A., Canada, Britain, Australia and Korea. Mr. Minnis created a satirical cartoon “Pot Luck”, in 1970 which appeared in the Nassau Guardian for 7 years and in the Tribune from April 1977 until October 1981. Although he has discontinued the cartoon, he still does caricatures by special request. Since 1971 this artist has also carved another name for himself as a singer and songwriter. He now has 10 Calypso Albums to his credit - “Der Real Ting”, “Nicole and Shan an…”, Island Life’, “Mind Your Own Business”, “Junkanoo Jam”, “Guilty”, “Hey Mon”, “Discovery”, and a family man, his wife is the former Sherry Thompson. They have three (3) children: Nicole, Roshanne and Ward who are also artists.
