This is the only folkloric Bahamian show on New Providence. Its linchpin is Eric Gibson ("King Eric"), a talented musician and calypso artist from Acklins Island. He has functioned as the semiofficial ambassador of Bahamian goodwill, conducting concert tours throughout North America, Europe, and Australia. A musical staple here since the late 1950s, his act includes a half-dozen musicians, four or five dancers, a "calypsonian" who might double as a comedian, and a limbo contortionist. The shows are a little short (only 90 min.), but end with a sequence that emulates the Junkanoo festival. If you opt for a dinner here, you can schedule it for whenever you want, before, during, or after the show. Shows are Tuesday through Saturday at 8:30 and 10:30pm, and Sunday through Monday at 8:30pm.

Cover charge $15-$25, including 1 drink.Reservations recommended.
