Music legends Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, and Ja Rule will be headlining a concert at the 50th Anniversary of St. Maarten Carnival. On April 25, the three globally renowned musicians will take the stage at the Soulful Company concert. Presented by the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF), the concert promises to provide a night of โ€œsmooth groovinโ€™ and boppinโ€™.โ€

2019 marks the 50th anniversary of St. Maarten Carnival. Festivities will officially take place from April 20 to May 7, with pre-Carnival activities kicking off on March 16. At 33 days in overall length, St. Maarten Carnival is the longest carnival in the Caribbean.

โ€œWeโ€™re so excited to welcome Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, and Ja Rule to St. Maarten,โ€ stated the Director of Tourism of St. Maarten, Ms. May-Ling Chun. โ€œTo have these three artists, all who have impacted the international music scene on such a large scale, headline at the 50th anniversary of our renowned Carnival is a joy and an honor. We cannot wait to see the energy that they bring to the stage.โ€

The three headliners will also be joined by two of St. Maartenโ€™s best young singers and their bands. Local talents Natisha Hanson and Kenyo Baly will accompany the headliners on stage, representing The Friendly Island at the second iteration of the Soulful Company concert.

โ€œWe have so many gifted musicians in St. Maarten, and to bring our islandโ€™s local musical talent together with these artists is sure to bring forth a unique, incredible concert,โ€ said St. Maartenโ€™s Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transport, and Telecommunication, Stuart Johnson. Whatโ€™s more, we look forward to the opportunities this collaboration will bring forth for these exceptional St. Maarteners, and canโ€™t wait to see them showcase their musical gifts on the main stage.โ€
