BSQ’s Sings Goodbye to Vanuatu

Pacific Break 2011 winners BSQ are in Vanuatu hard at work preparing for their big stage debut tonight at Fest’Napuan. But in between prepping for the big show, they’ve been pretty busy touring the country, meeting people and performing for all kinds of audiences.
Yesterday, they visited Wan Smolbag Theatre — a community and youth group in Port Vila. And it wasn’t just BSQ who made an impression. The four members of the hip hop crew came away inspired by what they saw and experienced there, too.
