When Dutch king Willem Alexander officiated the opening of the roving memorial “Reflecting on Covid” on Friday September 29, 2023, in the province of Brabant, one face stood out on stage: that of St. Maarten singer Kenyo Baly. The charismatic 27-year-old performer with the velvet baritone flew over especially to sing one song:  “Hometown Glory by Adele” to a kingdom-wide audience. "I am bringing. I am coming with a mind of resilience and a message of overcoming. A message of unity.”
