Before we share some very exciting news, we want to extend a heart-felt thank you for making De BoomTribe radio show the number one radio show in its time slot! If not for your listenership and feedback we wouldn’t be here. Let’s also take this opportunity to thank Mixx FM! It’s been our home for the past 3 years and a great home at that, we will miss the fish tank.

Ok Drum roll Please…

The Number One show On Saturday evenings is now moving to the number one station in Barbados! De BoomTribe radio show is now on Hott 95.3 FM (http://www.hott953.com/) in Barbados starting March 6, 2010. Though there will be a slight change to the time as we will be on from 7pm till 10pm, you can rest assured you’ll hear all the hits and the great mix of music you’ve come to expect each and every week. What about the BoomTribe Caribbean Top 10, you ask? It is still there, jammed packed with all of the hottest music from across the Caribbean. Ok so now you are worried about the giveaways…yep they are still there too, and in fact they’re going to be better than ever. The show will be full of insanity, Hotter tracks and much, much more courtesy a whole host of crazy animals masquerading as DJs: Ambidextrous Armadillo, Buddha Lyzard, Barkin’ Spida, Smiling Cow and De Buffalo

We also want to take this time to big up the sponsors that have helped to build the show, such as Heineken, Durex and Seven Seas. Oh, and be sure to look out for bigger and better new Heineken promotion events this year..

So tune in to Hott 95.3 FM on Saturday the 6th of March from 7pm to 10pm for the release of the animals on De BoomTribe Radio Show. You can get a jump on the big ups or to send feedback, simply email us at team@boomtribe.com.
