Grammy award-winning artiste of Jamaica, Mikayla Simpson also known as “Koffee” and her band will be in Dominica for the first time to perform during one of the island’s major events, ‘Carnival Gopwell’ Volume 2, to be held at Windsor Park Sports Stadium Forecourt on Saturday, May 6, 2023.
The artiste was scheduled to perform in Dominica during ‘Carnival Gopwell’ event scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2020, however, due to the dreaded Covid-19 Pandemic the show was postponed.
Organizer of the event, Dane ‘Danejahdane’ Smalling told Dominica News Online (DNO) during an interview that plans are in place for the grand concert this weekend.
“Everything is going smoothly for the show,” he said. “Preparations so far are going nicely, we have everything on point.”
He continued, “It is a big show, it is not just a jam based on what Dominicans generally attend. It is a concert with a live band, with back-up singers, dancers…”
Smalling pointed out that this is the second edition of ‘Carnival Gopwell’ and he is proud to host Koffee and her band.
“I am proud of this one because we are not behind time,” Smalling revealed.
He explained that most of the other Caribbean counterparts haven’t gotten the chance to see Koffee perform live yet.
“We are advanced in this one,” he stated.

Could we perhaps spell Gwo pwel correctly?
Is people playing like dey from Roseau and look down frown on Patwa. Same for words like fish, they say pwesa; but when Jeandarm kech them in Guada to hear them bawl pweson
Waiting for the media whore and his semi- lunatic supporters to tell Dominicans,how many millions Melissa Skerrit paid Koffee to perform.
Clearly the old adage is true, a guilty conscience needs no accuser.
See you in VIP
Guiltiness is on their conscience!
