As the premier DMC in The Bahamas, we are always on the look-out for prodigious talent, be it the visual, culinary or musical arts. Following in the success of our first musical Artist In The Spotlight - Bahamian trumpet prodigy Giveton Gelin - I am thrilled to introduce the defiantly-undefinable Jamaican-Bahamian 'fusionistic soul artiste' Kamilah Gibson, blazing a trail on the New York City music scene.
Read MoreI love lighthouses. I love them from a design aspect. And I love them in their metaphorical sense - the enduring light they provide despite everything that mother nature hurls at them - stoically showing the way through life's great storm. In the second of our Bahamian Lighthouse Series, we take a look at the iconic candy-striped Elbow Reef Lighthouse in Hope Town, Abaco through the lens of Alessandro Sarno
Read MoreAs Noel Coward famously said, "It's never too early for a cocktail." Especially when it's made with locally-roasted coffee beans. Get ready for the perfect pick me up... Because In this episode of Savour Cacique, we're teaming up with Steven Kemp from Island Nation Roasting and Kyle Jones, our regular mover and shaker from Young's Fine Wine to create "Ever The Optimist" - a re-imagined Espresso Martini. Why "Ever The Optimist"? Try one and then try not to think about good 'tings'! Simply impossible.
Read MoreAt Cacique, we believe in the power of stories. As the leading DMC in The Bahamas, we are storytellers in everything we do, weaving breath-taking, multi-sensory narratives for our clients from the moment they step off the plane. But we also believe in the power of storytelling to shape culture and promote change.
Read MoreWe have rediscovered ourselves through the works of the talented Lynn Parotti, fallen head over heels for the stories told within the Thierry Lamare collective, and explored Bahamian feminist art through the lens of Angelika Wallace-Whitfield. We've met face-to-face with our demons, seen the light, and continue to traverse.
Read MoreAs the premier DMC in The Bahamas, we are always on the look-out for prodigious artistic and musical talent. In this episode of Artist In The Spotlight, I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Giveton Gelin, an 18 year-old, self-taught Bahamian trumpet prodigy currently making waves in the New York City jazz community.
Read MoreIkebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. “Ike” meaning life or “arrange” and “bana” meaning flower. in Ikebana, the life / soul of each flower is kept alive through the arrangement, meaning that each flower, each stem, each blade of grass of withered seedpod has a purpose in creating a whole. Uh, oh… Here he goes waxing on, waxing off again. Am I suggesting that I am a black belt in floral arrangement? Maybe a green belt. After two decades in the industry, I am beginning to understand that true mastery - of floral design, karate, or table setting - comes with patience, meditation and reflection on the form.
Read MoreIt is the first day of the North Star Meetings Group Leadership Forum, an annual networking event that brings the movers & shakers of the billion-dollar meetings, sports and motivation industries. And guess who is designing the experience? Lil’ old island boy Cacique. In these moments I’m always reminded of a childhood favourite - The Little Engine That Could. Its the classic tale of a little blue engine, who despite his size, succeeds in taking the train over seemingly-impossible terrain, by repeating the mantra "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”
Read MoreIn addition to being a visual feast, the holiday season is a veritable party for the palette. In our latest #SavourCacique post, we teamed up with Kyle Jones from Young's Fine Wine to create the perfect holiday drink to warm your spirits - the Mulled Harvest Cider. This time, we 'did link up' with Kyle again to put our twist on the Holiday Cocktail.
Read MoreLast time we joined forces with cocktail mover & shaker Kyle Jones from Young's Fine Wine , we set out to re-imagine the classic Gin-Gin Mule as The Eleutheran Breeze, unlocking bold new Bahamian flavors. This time, we are teaming up with Kyle once again to rethink an old-time seasonal favorite - hot apple cider. Hot cider in The Bahamas!? Yes, we may be in the tropics, but you just can't beat the christmassy feeling of a warm "winter" tipple...
Read MoreIn this episode, we get to spend some quality studio time with the inimitable Lynn Parotti, a London-based Bahamian artist whom, in the wise words of the formidable D.H Lawrence above, is truly in the business of art - her visceral oil paintings exploring the intersection of the natural environment and the human experience.
Read MoreWelcome to the first in our Cacique Resort Review series in which we offer you a snapshot of our exceptional partner resorts around the beautiful islands of The Bahamas. We begin our journey at The Cove Eleuthera, a intimate resort as unique and alluring as the name of the island itself. Eleuthera derives from the feminine Greek adjective ἐλεύθερος (eleutheros), meaning "free."
Read MoreIn martial arts, they say it takes a lifetime to become a master - to transcend the art form. It comes from years and years of repetition - practising the same moves again and again until it becomes clockwork. Smooth. Precise. Seemingly effortless. Only then can you take a step back and reflect on the art itself...
Read MorePainter and transplant Thierry Lamare has called The Bahamas his home for almost thirty years. Over that period, he has become a keen observer of the Bahamian landscape, its people, customs, and traditions, some of which are slowly fading, others shifting quickly like the dying light which he captures so evocatively.
Read MoreIn October, 1816 the foundation stone of The Hog Island (now Paradise Island) Lighthouse was laid and the building completed around one year later. Quarried from the island’s limestone rock, the tower was built along with the Lighthouse Keeper’s Quarters, where it was manned until the 1960s. To this day, it guards the western entrance to Nassau Harbour.
Read MoreAt the southern end of Parliament Square on Bay Street, sits the distinctive flamingo-pink octagon of the Nassau Public Library. Constructed as a jail in 1797, a place full of noise and chaos, it was reborn in 1879 as a public library, a small oasis of tranquility in the humdrum of busy downtown Nassau.
Read MoreWelcome to Cacique’s Artist In The Spotlight series - a journey into a thriving Bahamian art scene and a look at some of the most celebrated artists, as well as the movers and shakers garnering a name for themselves in The Bahamas and around the world. In this third episode, we have the pleasure of introducing Jessica Colebrook - a Bahamian Ceramist who is pushing the boundaries of this medium both locally and overseas.
Read MoreWe agree with Noel Coward. It is never too early for a cocktail - especially in the balmy heat of a Bahamian summer with a cocktail that combines sweet local pineapple with freshly-squeezed lime juice and homegrown basil (plus the odd splash of gin). Indeed. That's the breakfast of rockstars and kings.
Read MoreIn this Discover Cacique episode, we tell the tale of Lord Dunmore, dubbed by historians as the most eccentric man in Bahamian history, who was to leave this island nation with a collection of forts that stand to this day as testament to one man's obsessive nature.
Read MoreIn this new take on an established classic, Culinary Producer & Chef Monica Hutchinson redefines chicken souse, elevating the taste experience with the addition of a welcome crunch and borrowing certain aesthetic elements from Japanese Ramen.
