“Bona Fide has some music available on iTunes, she notes, with more to come in the near future; One With Nature and the reggae track We Are Living In Exile. Some notable gigs include the John Legend private auction, at which the man himself was present and an interesting appearance at the band’s first Jewish wedding, up at Westin Casuarina. ”

— Joe Shooman, Caymanian Compass

“The objective of the evening was to celebrate the life of the late Estella Scott Roberts, and to raise awareness of the work the foundation has been doing since it was formed four years ago. Guests were greeted with cocktails and canapes, accompanied by live music from Bona Fide. ”

— Natasha Were, Caymanian Compass

“The pig roast on the Camana Bay beach, which this year was billed “Islands Luau”, is an important annual fundraiser for Feed our Future and although it is held rain or shine, the event planners certainly hope for a dry day. This year, with heavy rains falling around George Town for much of the afternoon, it didn’t look like they’d get their wish. But the skies cleared allowing the guests to enjoy an evening of food, fun and music by the band Bona Fide. ”

— Alan Markoff, Caymanian Compass

“Taking an island luau theme, it’s going to be a fun, informal beach party. There will be live music from Bona Fide plus a DJ and plenty of dancing on the beach. A number of restaurants – Karoo, Abacus, LUCA, Frosted Robin, Mise en Place, Chicken! Chicken!, Agua, Michael’s, Ortanique, the Ritz-Carlton, Icoa, Karma and Edoardo’s – are all lending their support to the cause by providing a variety of fresh, light dishes, which will be passed around during the early part of the evening. ”

— Natasha Were, Caymanian Compass

“Isadora Ferrao of Bona Fide puts it into context from the bands’ point of view. “Seeing the devastation in Japan should make us all grateful for what we have and hopefully empathetic enough to help if we are able. Anyone who is able to assist or put on more fundraisers should do so as it will be decades before Japan starts to recover from this. “We know how long it took us to see a light at the end of the tunnel after Ivan.””

— Joe Shooman, Caymanian Compass

“In celebration of the UN’s International Women’s Day, a revamped International Women’s Day Ceremony will be held on 8 March at Gardenia Court, Camana Bay from 5.30 to 8pm. The celebration will feature music by Isadora Ferrao-Powell from Bonafide, dance performances and several exciting competitions.”

— Caymanian Compass

“The event kicks off Friday, 1 July, with the Live Musicians Showcase from 5.30pm on the beach at Calico Jack’s and continuing late into the night. Bands slated to perform include Hi Tide, Blu Water, BackBeat, Bona Fide, Lammie, the Regeneration Band, Local Motion, Roots Connection and Thanks and Praises. ”

— Natasha Were, Caymanian Compass

“Christmas in Cayman exclusive A gift from local band Bona Fide: They have written a special song for the fans who’ve supported them during 2010. “People will need to sign up at our website www.bonafidecayman.com to be a fan and join our mailing list, as it is a fan exclusive. It is a Christmas song called Christmas in Cayman and is a twist on Winter Wonderland. It is about walking on the beach, lying in a hammock and enjoying Christmas breeze, i.e., the things we sometimes take for granted,” said Isadora Ferrao-Powell, vocalist with the group. ”

— Joe Shooman, Caymanian Compass

“The event’s organisers are bringing over Grand Cayman band Bona Fide to get the party started right, and musical entertainment on the evening will also be provided by Brac band Sea Level.”

— Elphina Magona, Caymanian Compass

“Bona Fide has been delighting audiences throughout the Cayman Islands with an eclectic selection of soca, reggae, funk, R'n'B and Motown with a jazzy twist.”

— Voyages

“Lead singer for the group Bona Fide, as well as one of the event’s Organisers Isadora Ferrao remarked, “Many bands cut down their performance time in order for us to catch up on a late running schedule. We were enormously thankful for everyone collectively bearing the burden and for being so considerate of the acts to follow.” ”

— Stuart Wilson, Caymanian Compass

“Bona Fide: A Rainbow of Talent Her background is as colourful and diverse as her music. Isadora Ferrao grew up in Zimbabwe, spent nearly a decade in London and is now making waves in the Cayman Islands as lead singer of the eclectic trio Bona Fide.”

— Jenny Gabruch, Cayman Airways Skies

“Bona Fide promises a rainbow of vocal styles and abilities, having performed at numerous clubs, lounges and hotels across the island.”

— Caymanian Compass

“The third band for the evening was Bona Fide, with their hot Caribbean-funk sound. They sounded great- with strong vocals over a pulsing beat. ”

— Cayman Net News

““Bona Fide bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm and fun to all of their events which the participating children thoroughly enjoyed”.”

— Elphina Magona, Caymanian Compass

“Bona Fide: A hard act to follow Driven by a passion to please their audience, Isadora and Rennard are united in their desire to bring back live performances to Cayman's music scene.”

— G. Nowak (aka Barefoot Man), What's Hot
