Date: Thursday 19th February 2009 Location: Jenny's Car Park. Port-Of-Spain, Trinidad Promotions: TRIBE Click on thumbnails to see the big picture/entire gallery Fete after fete after
fete, off d heels of one of the swankiest parties (Beach
House) in Central Trinidad, it was on to another at Jenny's Car
Park (West Side) for TRIBE Ignite. Just walking up the Boulevard,
you could tell it was another sold out event from the masses that lined
the streets. If 'Ignite' is the game, the flames were surely raging!!
When TJJ TV got there, Kes The Band was doing their thing
- accompanied by two of the most alluring dancers, Mandisa and Company.
And you know when TJJ TV reach, d madness start!! Our question
of the day was, "At Carnival time, is it okay for your boss to wine
on you?" Taking a walk through
the crowd ah could tell body painting was a big thing this season. Now,
that aint no excuse not to go to d gym ... please doh spray on ah six
pack and feel you in d mix!
Trevor Davis of Hot 96.Co.Uk out of London took the mic and did an interview with d Fire Man, Bunji Garlin for TJJ TV. Now this was on the 19th February. Even then, Bunji was saying he was just going out to have fun in Soca Monarch ... I guess he knew a full sweep was soon to come. (See Interview with Fay-Ann after winning Soca Monarch) I tell you, a TRIBE event attracts people from both near and far. We met a dude from Stockholm, Sweden. He informed us there was a carnival scene building in Sweden, and they have also started a mini parade of the bands that's growing by leaps and bounds each year. Stage side to the Asylum Band, Fay-Ann Lyons dressed in full denim with a pair of black Adidas was speaking to the Ignite crowd. First she addressed the right side, identifying all the independent ladies who don't depend on men for anything, who turn their own key, pay their own bills etc. Then she turned to the left, identifying all the Heavy T bumpers. Being the Soca Queen that she is, Fay-Ann then proceeded to send the masses into a frenzy singing the song ("Heavy T"). There was one particular fete-goer, who clearly had a Heavy T Bumper, that held on to the fence demonstrating what a Heavy T bumper can do! The "Hangover" man Slammer Cutter hit the stage after the Asylum, and then made way for KMC and the Red, White & Black. During that intermission, you know your boy had to make his way through d crowd to capture the beautiful ladies gyrating to sweet soca music being played by some of the Caribbean top DJ's. Heading back stage side, KMC and Diamond Cut were delivering the 2009 hits like "Am Not Drunk", "Living Water", and "Yeast" on the Fix It Up Riddim. Squeezy Ranking later came on stage with Red White & Black. Now Ranking really says he performs for the adults. Well I saw it first hand ... raw & uncut, but I guess it's just like liming with d boys ... No kiddies allowed!! KMC then brought some up and coming artistes on stage to do their thing. He also invited members of the crowd to sing his runaway hit "Am Not Drunk" with the him. The fete ended with people moving to the sounds of one of Trinidad's best riddim sections. So if you looking for a fete on Carnival Thursday, TRIBE Ignite is the place to be! On d ball for TJJ, P.S. Look out for TRIBE Ignite coverage coming soon on TJJ TV ==================================== |
