Now
we can get away from the "Boy I miss home" or "Tabanca,
Tabanca Ohy."
De
Lime on The Hill, an event that takes place every Wednesday night at The
Hill (56 Muswell Hill, London, N10 3ST), a multi-purpose entertainment
centre. Whether dancing or drinking, it's the perfect place to chill,
chow and chatter. The Hill represents very clearly the changing face of
entertainment, and the coming together of needs for business and pleasure.
Combine this with great style and panache and you have an equation that
is irresistible.
The
first event kicked off on Wednesday 12th April 2006, bringing Soca to
north London from 7pm - 12midnight. How long have we waited for this occasion??!!
Hosted by one of the UK's leading Caribbean promoters, Cocoyea,
which was formed about 23 years ago with an initial aim to promote the
music of Trinidad and Tobago (Calypso and Soca), we can say that they
have surely accomplished that and more!
The
night started off a little slow, but then the heat was turned on with
a live act by the one and only Tobago Crusoe extempoing away enchanting
the ladies with his sweet Soca twist, followed by the sweet sounds of
Soca by DJs Martin Jay & Mike Forbes.
Spotted
in the crowd was X Trinidad and Tobago Radio Announcer and Anslem Manohar
better known as "DJ Slim" from Toco Radio Station. We
can't believe all this goes on in London. All we need now is a nice cup
ah corn soup and a Cold Carib beer yes! We also spoke to a few Trini's
visiting, who were impressed seeing what we can do. Not only do we possess
talent but we have de skills. We also had the opportunity to link up with
Dexter, one of the main promoters of BWIA Cocoyea, who was very happy
with the turn out and is looking forward to future Wednesday limes on
the Hill.
As
for TJJ, we always looking forward to a great fete or lime!! This is Sherine
reporting for Trini Jungle Juice.
