The Award-Winning Television Program, Goombay Kids, is an Island Adventure TV Show that is about to premiere its 4th season. The series that uses magical storytelling with educational tones continues to grow to new heights and make history for The Bahamas and the region of the Caribbean.
In the upcoming fourth season which will premiere first on OurTV, Cable Bahamas, with an all Bahamian cast, we can expect to see some familiar faces from previous seasons. You will see the kids go on epic adventures while running into folklore and mythical characters like Mama D’Lo and Papa Bois, and meet more of the knowledgeable Goombay Kid Experts. The kids find themselves on exciting quests with mermaids and pirates while learning about sea life, nutrition, the environment and cultures from around the world. Also, expect to see friendly and famous faces like Timico Sawyer (Sawyerboy), Jaquay Adderley (DasQuay) and Zhane’o Newbold (Sarge) all appearing in this upcoming season. The season also has more original music, and dives into claymation and animated segments directed by award-winning Bahamian director Maria Govan.
