Since the Memorial Day Carnival celebrations in Atlanta back in May, the Atlanta people have been craving the Soca vibes. Wasi Entertainment has provided just that and launched the first ever “Soca In The City” at Endenu Bar and Lounge in Downtown Atlanta, and to kick things off, the Island of Montserrat has shown up on the scene again. Besides Arrow's “Hot, Hot, Hot” and the Volcano erupting in 2003, the 'hottest' new wave out of the 9,000 people strong Island is Jadine - The Soca Diva.
