After a few phone, and numerous online conversations with his management to track his whereabouts, organizers were first reassured that he was on his way, then told no one could get a hold of him in transit, and finally sent a message hours before the event that Olatunji is ' under medical supervision. ' 

Friday and Saturday (and even Sunday morning) are now jam packed with events to celebrate this year's Caribbean Festival in Calgary.  Here are the official (and unofficial) events that should be on your list:
