CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda, under the leadership of Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne, commenced this week’s session by extending warm congratulations to the legendary soca band, Burning Flames, fondly known as the “Fantastic Four.”
The group—Clarence “Oungku” Edwards, Toriano “Onyan” Edwards, David “Bubb-I” Edwards, and Rone “Foxx” Watkins—were invited as special guests to receive Antigua and Barbuda Diplomatic Passports in recognition of their 40th anniversary in the soca music industry.
In his remarks, Prime Minister Browne praised Burning Flames as an enduring symbol of Antiguan and Barbudan creativity, resilience, and cultural pride.
He noted that for more than four decades, the band has not only revolutionized the soca genre with their distinctive fusion of calypso, reggae, and modern Caribbean rhythms, but also served as cultural ambassadors who proudly carried the nation’s flag across the globe.
Their artistry, he said, has inspired generations while cementing Antigua and Barbuda’s place in the history of Caribbean music.
Cabinet members echoed the Prime Minister’s sentiments, recalling the band’s humble beginnings with homemade instruments and free community concerts.
They emphasized that Burning Flames’ contribution to the nation’s cultural identity is immeasurable, highlighting that the group did far more than entertain—they united communities, uplifted the people, and showcased the ingenuity of a small island state on the world stage.
Their legacy, members agreed, is one of innovation, excellence, and deep national pride.
During the session, Prime Minister Browne also officially announced that each member of Burning Flames will be nominated to receive the nation’s second-highest honour, a Knighthood, at the upcoming November Independence celebrations.
