BLUE BEAT CHAIN REACTION - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 12
Island Entertainment’s latest initiative to create fun in great surroundings, the trendy Blue Beat Jazz Club is becoming all the rage with the introduction of themed evenings such as “Copacabana Fridayz”, “The Guest List”, “The Unplugged Series” and bi-monthly “Comedy Nights”. Sit under the stars in a seaside, South Beach style setting with a hip Jamaican twist while you listen to live jazz and enjoy delicious cocktails and scrumptious, novel dishes from the new Tapas menu created by Blue Beat’s talented Chefs.

“THE UNPLUGGED SERIES”
This series features leading Jamaican artists performing live to a small audience in an intimate and highly personal venue. Artists perform only feet away from the audience with whom they chat, pose for photos and sign autographs after their act. Two of Jamaica’s most beloved performers, Tessanne Chin and her sister Tami, have been the first to take the stage and launch the series with separate and joint acts. Expect to see more of Jamaica’s top talent taking the stage every month or so!

“COMEDY NIGHTS”
Jamaicans’ propensity to laugh at themselves is demonstrated in the newly introduced “Comedy Nights”. The country’s idiosyncrasies give local comedians lots of material to poke fun at, and adored comedians such as Blakka Ellis, Fancy Cat and Ity have proved to be big crowd-pleasers for an audience full of people looking for a good laugh. Look out for more great comedy nights expected in the months ahead.

“COPACABANA FRIDAYZ”
Created to bring Latin American rhythm to Jamaica, the sounds of Merengue, Salsa, Latin Jazz and Reggaeton flow freely each Friday, “Copacabana Fridayz” caters to audiences from all over the world. Jamaican Latin dance experts who show off all their moves are happy to share their knowledge and impart impromptu dance lessons every Friday.

“THE GUEST LIST”
Saturday nights are reserved for those who make “The Guest List” and love music from all genres – alternative, techno, house, jazz and more. The exclusive realm for those who want to enjoy the sounds of the top clubs in New York, London, Tokyo and LA, talented guest DJ’s, home grown and from all over the world, will mix it up to create a night to remember. Call the promotions department of Island Entertainment (tel: 952-4777) for a reservation to the exclusive “Guest List” or take a chance and show up unannounced as a few new guests make it in each week.
