"Whoaaaaaaa....
look at people!" Iwer did mention to us the day before that over
16,000 tickets were sold for the biggest concert to ever hit Trinidad
for the summer, "Soca for Summer". The event had to be moved
from MOBS2 to the Concert Capital, Queens Park Savannah, due to the overwhelming
response.
The
nations top Soca bands and Soca artists took to the main stage to deliver
one international act on the night. It was nonstop action from the minute
Surface hit the stage, kicking off the festivities, all de way thru to
when reigning Road March Champ Shurwayne Winchester and his big band Traffik
closed the show. Wicked entertainment all night long. Big up to all artists
that were on the inside. You dunn know VIP is all about socializing and
drinking so we don't blame Machel for reaching out to his "jump n
wave" partygoers, who were behind the VIP section, to come a little
closer. Well who tell him say dat? Before you know it, the General Admission
crowd started to rock the VIP fence in a frenzy. Lucky for everyone, the
fence held it's ground and the crowd cooled down.
Both
Machel and Bunji commented on the controversial statements made by reggae
artist, I Wayne associating Soca with being a devilish thing. Machel let
the crowd know that he believes in God and not Satan, while Bunji still
made it very clear that he's not afraid to speak his mind and told the
crowd he heard that a bounty has been placed on this head. A bounty? What
madness we hearin'!!
Thanks
to Trini Bashment 91.9FM and Synergy TV for putting this massive event
together.
