In-Depth Information
On Bonaire, music is so integrated into daily life that shoppers are treated
to a live show outside the island's largest supermarket every Saturday
morning, and many restaurants and clubs feature weekly live entertain-
ment by the island's most talented musicians.
Tipico Bonairiano
has been entertaining audiences for more than 40
years with music played on a variety of unusual instruments, such as the
ukulele-like kuarta and the cheese-grater-like wiri. Newer arrivals on the
local music scene include Florida transplant soloist
Ralph “Moogie”
Stewart
, and the group
Glen I Su Gang
. Moogie is known for his original
funky-Caribbean songs, while the 12-member Gang draws a crowd with a
mix of charisma and rocking folk songs.
