International recording artist Lyrikal ensured that Trinidad and Tobago was well represented at the opening of the St Lucia Jazz Festival 2016 on Friday, April 29.

Lyrikal took the stage at Mindoo Philip Park at midnight and for 40 minutes sang hit after hit to a crowd of thousands.

He started his set with "Cloud 9," a favorite in St Lucia, and turned the audience into a choir as they sang along to every word. His "Conquer Meh" had fans holding their drinks high in the air. During "25/8," the audience screamed their approval when he said "Tell me why this party can't finish at 4?" and when he sang "Freedom ," crowd mimicked him as he extended his arms beckoning that free feeling.

Every song he performed was well received so it was no surprise that when he got to "Dip & Roll" and asked for volunteers that a number of female fans quickly made their way to the stage. That segment brought loud cheers from the audience as each girl announced which part of the island they were from and proceeded to do their own version of the Dip N Roll dance, to audience cheers.

Celebrating 25 years, the St Lucia Jazz Festival 2016 is scheduled to run from April 29 through May 8 at various venues.
