And there's another big artist in Belize tonight. She is no dancehall sensation, rather a blast from the past. You may know her for hit songs such as Can't Be With You Tonight and You Close The Door - That's right, Judy Boucher is in town.
The St Vincent born reggae, R&B and Country singer is known around the world for her soulful voice and this weekend she will be performing in the City at the House of Culture for a show called "A Night Under The Stars." We got to interview Boucher up close and in person.

"Things have been really great for me these past months. I am just so busy I can't believe what is happening. Everybody wants a piece of Judy Boucher and it's just amazing to be here again."
"When I got the call from Black Star Entertainment I just say, yup Belize people still in love with Judy Boucher and it's wonderful to be back."

"Now tell me, what can we expect coming this Saturday night?"
Judy Boucher, artist
"Of course we are going mix it up a bit. We are going to go back to my first album, of course there about 10 albums in all, so we are going to try to make sure that we get everyone's favorite songs. I know it's going to be very hard because everyone has their own favorite. But we will try and do the popular songs."

"You care to just tell us what have you been up to?"
Judy Boucher, artist
"I've been just really busy - just jetting around the world. So far I'm trying to find a little space for me. I am actually working around the Caribbean at the moment, so I just done a mother's day show in Dominica last weekend, then before I even got back home I was on another flight to Belize. Next week I am in Grenada. From there I will be in Anguilla, then St. Martin's. Then I am going to go towards London again. Then out to West Africa then out to South Africa, back to London and then back to the Caribbean."
"It's actually fantastic to be back here once again. It's nice to know that I am still appreciated and people still love my music, not that there are any doubts. Around the world everybody seems to want a piece of Judy Boucher. The karaoke bars, which are very popular in the Caribbean and also in the UK and various parts of the world; everybody is doing Judy Boucher songs."
"I want to see as many of you as possible. Come out and let celebrate a memorable night under the stars. Let's make it that memorable."
The concert is on Saturday night at the House of Culture.
