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.
