The Music

It seems a lot of the restaurants, especially those on the beach in Anguilla had some sort of entertainment at night. The second night on the island we went to dinner at the popular Italian restaurant Dolce Vita. It also happened to be Valentines, so I am pleased that our hosts had made reservations,

and did we ever have a good time. Sitting just inches from the beach where an assortment of luxury yachts were anchored, we dined on delicious lasagna, and sang along with this great entertainer!

The most famous entertainer of all on Anguilla is the Reggae singer Bankie Banx. Bankie rose to fame in the 70's and 80's and made several hit records. He toured Europe, spent a lot of time in NYC.and has his own restaurant and bar on the beach. His sound is described as a cross between Bob Marley and Bob Dylan.

 Why am I telling you about Bankie? Well, we did hear his son Omar and his talented band preform beach side on Sunday afternoon. Bankie has several children but Omar is the one following in his Dad's footsteps.

Just had to share this.While listening to Omar we had lunch at this beach side grill. I was studying the menu and about to order a chicken sandwich, when this guy walked through! Fun times!
