WASHINGTON, D.C., August 23, 2019 — The Bahamas was well represented at Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia, where Bahamian-American rock superstar Lenny Kravitz kicked off the North American leg of his 2019 “Raise Vibration Tour” on Wednesday night, August 21.
In addition to His Excellency Sidney Collie, Bahamas Ambassador to the United States and Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States (OAS), and his daughter Yendise, also attending the concert were of Ronique Brown, Economic Attaché to The Bahamas Embassy in D.C., and her father Falco Brown, who is currently visiting his daughter.
According to Ambassador Collie, Falco Brown is an “avid fan of Lenny Kravitz and could not miss the opportunity to attend the concert as my guest.”
Kravitz followed up the opening of the North American leg of his 2019 “Raise Vibration Tour” with a performance in Philadelphia on Thursday night, August 22. He will next perform at the Agganis Arena in Boston on Saturday, August 24, followed by performance at the Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, on Sunday, August 25, then on to Radio City Music Hall in New York on Tuesday, August 27.
Concerts are scheduled in Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, Nashville, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, Grand Prairie, Highland Park and more — including two stops up in Canada in Montreal and Toronto, — through the middle of September.
Earlier this year, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism launched a new promotional campaign featuring Kravitz’s “Bahamas — Fly Away” video that’s widely credited with being one of the major reasons for the ongoing upsurge in visitors choosing The Bahamas as their vacation destination.
Kravitz, who has a home and studio in Eleuthera, is the son of the late Bahamian-American actress Roxie Roker and NBC television news producer Sy Kravitz.
