the show in new york was a success though aziatic never got to get on stage. we feel it necessary to quelch the rumors as to why aziatic never got to perform. many seem to think or was heard that it was due to something on his part when the truth is far from that. the show in new york was to end at 5am but due to a scuffle outside with the security guard, the police were forced to stop the show at 4am. aziatic and his band who arrived at the hall at 12am were dressed and ready to work. aziatic was in good spirits and was anxious to perform. he apologizes to his fans for the actions of the individual who was responsible for ending the show.

Thank you for posting this information. I have read some very disturbing comments in the guess book. Being a true fan of the Garifuna music, I have to voice my opinion about the matters mentioned. I attended the show in NY and thought it was fantastic. You all can say, as you have, what you want about the event, but please do not take it upon yourselves to come to this website to disrespect and bad mouth the same people who are bringing you this forum and making you aware of so much. The promoters and producers of that event in NY did a great job. Hats off to you all. For those who do not want to attend other events by the promoters, it is your money, and you spend it how you like. Aziatic did not perform, and I was disappointed at that, but that is not to say that the show was not great because it was. The conversations you all are having in the guess book of the site need to be posted in the forum. The webmaster has suggested that time and time again. If you have a problems with members of whatever crew, talk to them personally about their "attitudes" if you do not like it. There is a time and place for everything and also a tone of voice to use. One person mentioned how Aziatic needs to get his own style. Have you not read about the young man growing up listening to Michael Jackson's music and imitating him? To me, Aziatic does have his own style, and it is peppered with pieces of other performers to make up his own. When have you ever seen Michael dance punta? Don't answer that, just think about it. In regard to the celebrity status, why do we put anyone in ranks like they are God. There is only one God and the rest of us are human beings who should be allowed to be just that. Most performers are humans and as someone stated, "makes mistakes." Do not tear down our artists, but lift them up by helping them to improve what 'you see as faults.' Melissa did her part by informing readers of the reason why Aziatic did not perform. You and I both know that because we took the time to read her posting, so do not shoot the messenger. She did her part. I look forward to more events to come with the performers from the NY dance venue. It would be nice to keep all the performers and have them tour cities throughout the US and Belize together having enough time and security to alow all performers to perform. Hopefully, the "fans" will behave themselves and allow the shows to keep with the time frame previously scheduled.
