It was Saturday 24th September and it was finally time for Carnival Nationz to have their victory fete. CNz, produced by Curtis Eustace, Bryce Aguiton & Dwayne Pitt overcame all odds and won the most coveted title for Caribana "Band Of The Year." [see Caribana coverage]

Held at the usual spot, Fortress North, Trini Jungle Juice (TJJ) reached the venue at about 11:30pm. Of course, we had to take ah little lime in de parking lot, so we did not actually reach inside de fete until about midnight. Party was ram! CNz masqueraders & the usual suspects were out in full force to join in celebrating the victory. As usual if you didn't dress to sweat, well it was pressure... it does get reallllll hot inside dey! Whew!

Resident DJ's Court Jester, D'Bandit & Soca Sweetness mash up de fete with the sweet mixed tunes of Soca, Reggae and the occasional Kaiso. Hosts S.K.F. & E Man kept the crowd pumped, especially when de big tunes hit the air!! The crowd was lovin' de vibes.

TJJ would like to congratulate CNz on the coveted title. We can't wait for next year Caribana! We might just have to play mas rather than work & spectate next rounds!

Next stop.... Island Boyz's 12th Anniversary celebration fete "The Dirty Dozen" on Oct 1st featuring Iwer George... "yesssss, de people want watah!!!!"
