The story

Naniki Barbados Music Festival in Surinam/Naniki

The Naniki Barbados Music Festival is a two-day event staged at a hillside eco-resort in St. Joseph parish, mixing soca, reggae, jazz and other regional styles against island scenery rather than a beach or city stage. Held in January, it offers a smaller, garden-party-scale alternative to Crop Over's bigger Bridgetown shows.

Naniki's stages sit in the hills above Barbados's rugged east coast, high enough that the music festival built around them doubles as one of the better vantage points on the island for watching the Atlantic side of Barbados unfold below.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival takes place entirely on the grounds of an eco-resort set in the hills of St

02

The mystery stays covered

Joseph, giving it a genuinely different physical setting than any other music event on the island: gardens and forest rather than a beach, city street or arena, with coastal views from elevation

03

The city starts moving

The genre mix, soca, reggae, jazz and other regional and international styles across a single two-day lineup, is also broader than most single-focus Barbadian festivals, and the resort's limited natural capacity keeps the crowd close to the stage rather than spread across a large festival field
