Organisers of Cohobblopot are promising a fusion of tradition and innovation as the cultural spectacle makes its return after an absence of more than a decade.

Speaking at Saturday’s media launch on behalf of the event’s production team, producer Ricky Nurse said the long-awaited showcase, scheduled for August 4 at the National Botanical Gardens, presents an opportunity to honour Barbadian heritage while modernising the production to engage younger patrons.

“Courts Ready Cash and 98.1 The One Cohobblopot represents an opportunity for us to reimagine an event that is an authentic display of Bajan creativity and culture,” Nurse stated. “Our production team believes that this reimagination is critical at this time, whilst recognising that our youth are not allergic to legacy.”
