NASSAU, Bahamas -- Students
from public and private schools were treated to an afternoon of entertainment
by an Argentine pop singer, Justo Lamas.
The concert was held at the
Rainforest Theatre in the Wyndham Crystal Palace Resort and Casino,
Tuesday, February 2.
Donnella Davis, Education Officer
for Foreign Languages at the Ministry of Tourism said Mr Lamas was chosen
to perform for the students because of his positive message to youths throughout
Latin America.
Ms Davis said she first met
Mr Lamas while attending an international education conference five
years ago and since then, he has performed three times in The Bahamas.
Singing a variety of his popular
hits including “Bimi Bimi Bimi Bom Bom” and “Eres Tu”, Mr Lamas
not only exposed the students to his Spanish language and culture, he
also sent out a positive message to students saying that they were all
leaders who should strive to always reach for the stars.
