We flew into Anguilla on a Saturday afternoon, so Sunday was our first full day on the island. We hit the beach early, and were just starting to think about lunch when we heard the music start up at the Sunshine Shack, just down the beach from our resort, Aurora Anguilla. We walked down the beach, and grabbed a rum punch. The bar was humming, and Garvey was working the grill, mixing the scent of grilled chicken with the ocean breeze. Omari Banks was doing an acoustic show that afternoon, and while we waited for the show to start, who would walk up to the bar but his father, Bankie Banx. We were enjoying the show, when Bankie walked up on stage. He started singing “Busted in Barbados,” joined by Garvey (check out the video below!). I can think of no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
And a bit of video: pardon the camera shake — I had a few rum punches on board at the time!
Don’t miss Omari Banks and Bankie Banx when you’re on the island. You can catch both on Saturday nights at Bankie’s Dune Preserve.
