Buddha Bar vs Barrio Latino - On Friday, November 28 and Sunday, November 30, The Yacht Club in Gustavia and the Manapany Hotel in Anse des Cayes, respectively, will present two famous DJs: David Visan and Carlos Campos. Visan has recorded for the Buddha Bar music series, which is a compilation of various types of music released by George V records. After studying music at the Los Angeles Music Institute, he returned to Paris and worked with the DJ Claude Challe, the pioneer of the Buddha Bar concept. He is currently a DJ at the Buddha Bar in Paris. Carlos Campos, who was born in Santiago, Chile, has a background of Latin-American, Hispanic and French origins. He went to Paris at age 16 and later became a dancer and choreographer. He has since channeled his energy into music and was the first resident DJ at the Barrio Latino club in Paris. He also has worked with Claude Challe. These are sure to be two interesting and exciting nights of music!

Come out to Caviar Island in Gustavia on November 24 to hear funk, jazz and blues with Days of Wild from New York City. Many of you frequent visitors to St. Barth might just recognize that guy in the middle with the pink bandana as Papaguyo, a long-time percussionist on the island who always attracts a crowd. Days of Wild started out with a guitar player, a bass player, a drummer and a singer who originally got together to play the music of Prince. The band has since grown to include a full horn section and a keyboard player and has become one of the most popular funk bands in NYC. This one's a no-brainer!
