The day after Bankie Banx’s iconic Moonsplash Festival wrapped at The Dune Preserve, most artists were resting. Kumar Fyah was on the beach, camera rolling.

The Grammy-nominated Jamaican recording artist has just released captivating new visuals for “Behold I Come,” filmed on location in Anguilla with a cast of world-class Caribbean musicians — including Bankie Banx, Tony Ruption, Mighty Mystic, Omari Banks, Sunra Banks, Lateef Banks, Junior Jazz, King Kiniah, and Curtis Robinson. The visuals were shot by Tizzy Tokyo, the same innovative filmmaker behind Kumar’s 2025 visualizer for his cover of The Police’s “Message in a Bottle” — making this his second video captured on Anguilla’s shores.

 

But why Anguilla? For Kumar, the answer goes deeper than the scenery.


1. Moonsplash Festival Is Unlike Anything Else

Palooza 728x90

Held annually at The Dune Preserve, Bankie Banx’s Moonsplash Festival is the kind of event that draws artists not for the exposure, but for the experience and for patrons it’s truly a family vibe. Kumar is a devoted regular — and shooting the “Behold I Come” visuals the morning after the festival was no accident. The energy of Moonsplash bleeds directly into the energy Kumar had on camera in the video. “As a producer of a family friendly festival in Jamaica just the month before — Wickie Wackie Music Festival — it’s inspiring to perform at a festival that has been running for 34 years. Moonsplash is legendary.”

2. The Musicians Support Each Other

In an industry that can often feel ironically competitive, Anguilla’s music community operates differently. Artists collaborate freely, show up for one another, and the spirit of that camaraderie is visible in Kumar’s new video. Blessed with genuine cameos from some of the Caribbean’s finest musicians.

3. Live Music Is Valued in Anguilla

Festivals and live performance aren’t just entertainment in Anguilla — they’re cultural pillars. For an artist like Kumar, whose music carries messages of roots, consciousness, and freedom, that kind of environment matters. It’s a place where the music is taken seriously.

4. The Island Is Simply Beautiful

There’s also the straightforward truth that Anguilla’s beaches are stunning. Pristine, unhurried, and visually striking — the island provides a natural backdrop that no studio lot can replicate.

5. The Bankie Banx Family Is His Family

At the center of it all is the Bankie Banx family — musicians, creatives, and deeply inspiring people who Kumar considers his own. That connection gives the video an authenticity that’s hard to manufacture and impossible to fake.


“Behold I Come with roots, truths, and rights. Behold I Come, Rastaman’s daughters and sons. The world needs more love, and we declare it with songs of freedom and positivity,” says Kumar Fyah.

That declaration is the heartbeat of the track. “Behold I Come” was released in February 2026 alongside “Black Woman” — a cover of Judy Mowatt’s timeless classic featuring Kaedi Philo — both produced by Richard “Bobo” Bell and Lynford “Fatta” Marshall of 29 West Music Productions over the same classic rhythm. The two artists performed both tracks live at the Wickie Wackie Music Festival in Bull Bay, Jamaica, to a culturally conscious crowd.

Bobo, who founded StarTrail Records in 1989 and has produced records with Beres Hammond, Garnett Silk, Anthony B, and Third World, didn’t hesitate when reflecting on the collaboration: “It was a very great experience working with Kumar. Professional in every way, and he makes it so easy to get the tune completed. He is a young legend in the game.”
