From rich histories and cultural traditions to current events and local legends, each episode is a deep dive into the heartbeat of the Caribbean.

The show is more than just Da Flava, it’s a celebration of identity, rhythm, and unity. Featuring
fresh Caribbean mixes, timeless classics, and nostalgic anthems, the music stirs the soul while
connecting generations. Audiences are also treated to vibrant festival highlights and global

Bridgetown, DJ Markus amplifies Caribbean excellence on a global stage. It’s more than
exposure, it’s empowerment, visibility, and a commitment to strengthening the global Caribbean community.
