Caribbean Vibe

Strykers’ Posse

Established in 1990, CARIBBEAN VIBE has performed for many events in the U.S. and beyond. Featured live on The Today Show and The View, Caribbean Vibe’s performers provide fun, festive music, sharing and elevating the joy of an instrument whose origin is rooted in the history of Afro-Trinidadian struggle for freedom. Also known as the steel pan, the steel drum is the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago. It exemplifies resilience and resistance against oppression and a fine example of human ingenuity.

STRYKERS’ POSSE, led by powerhouse vocalists Ichelle Cole and Yvonne Deane Hibbert, often called the East Coast “Queens of Reggae,” has been a vibrant force in the region’s reggae scene for decades. Known for their high‑energy performances and rich cultural roots, the group has shared stages with legendary artists including The Wailers, Burning Spear, and Maxi Priest. Their dynamic sound and commanding presence continue to uplift audiences across the DMV and beyond.
