Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission Tribute to Ricardo Drue
Press Statement
Today, the Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission joins the entire nation in mourning the loss of our very own Soca Ambassador, Ricardo Drue.
His immense impact on the Soca Monarch and Road March scenes has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape and garnered him immense popularity across the region.
Ricardo’s infectious tunes and energetic performances held a special place in the hearts of Soca enthusiasts, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
Drue’s contributions to the Soca genre were significant, and his music resonated deeply with fans, not only in Antigua and Barbuda but across the entire Caribbean region.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fans during this difficult time. Ricardo, your music will forever resonate in our hearts.
Rest in peace.
