En­ter­tain­ers Shaneil Muir, Louie Cul­ture, Iyara, and Sean Kingston were in top form at the Belle­vue Mu­sic Fes­ti­val, which took place last Sat­ur­day at Fes­ti­val Park in down­town Or­lan­do.

The show­ers ac­com­pa­nied by thun­der and light­ning which drenched parts of Or­lan­do on Sat­ur­day af­ter­noon may have con­tributed to the low turnout of pa­trons; how­ev­er, those in at­ten­dance cer­tain­ly had a good time groov­ing to the hits of their favourite artistes as well as mu­sic spun by the DJs.

Pri­or to the main acts, sev­er­al up-and-com­ing artistes graced the stage, in­clud­ing Click Star, Tin­ga Ling, LYRI-KALI, Ben­cil Click­star, Bad­da Gen­er­al, and cul­tur­al group The Ma­roons.

Dee­jay Iyara gave a work­man-like per­for­mance which sur­prised many in the au­di­ence. His de­liv­ery and show­man­ship were on point.

There was a brief pow­er cut dur­ing his per­for­mance and, like a pro­fes­sion­al, Iyara kept on per­form­ing un­til the lights were re­stored.

“It’s a plea­sure to be per­form­ing here at the Belle­vue Mu­sic Fes­ti­val. It’s a good look,” Iyrara said.

He added, “Big up to the pro­mot­ers and man­age­ment for book­ing me for this event. I came to de­liv­er to the fullest and the fans loved the per­for­mance. The au­di­ence sang along with me dur­ing the pow­er cut. To me that sig­ni­fies that the peo­ple need Iyara.”

Ac­com­pa­nied by her dancers, St Thomas, US Vir­gin Is­lands so­ca artiste Star Mar­tin had the men in a fren­zy with her slick moves and gy­rat­ing. She de­scribed her time on stage as fun.

“The vibe was fun, love and I love Caribbean peo­ple. We just came out here ready to have a good time,” she said.

Reg­gae artiste Teflon, who per­formed dur­ing Iyara’s set, blazed a fire.

He kept the crowd rock­ing from the mo­ment he came on stage.

“It was just a sur­prise per­for­mance for the peo­ple and the fans. It’s been a while since the peo­ple in Or­lan­do have seen Teflon per­form, so me just haf­fi give thanks to Iyara for even giv­ing me the op­por­tu­ni­ty to ex­press my­self to the peo­ple. It’s just a joy for me,” said Teflon.

Singer Shaneil Muir was al­so in fine form reel­ing off Ex­clu­sive, Top Gyal and Yam­a­bel­la.
