Wednesday, April 11; Kingston, Jamaica: “Now di jouvert Jammin', you see how we mad and whining... we making a big commotion, mashin up every session, when we drinking rum and tumble dung, rolling on di grung, like a vagabond”- Super Mario, Jouvert Morning “Paint, paint and more paint!” promises Bacchanal Jamaica for their Jouvert Fete and Road March, “Alien Invasion” on Friday April 13. This Appleton sponsored 'Dutty Mas' guarantees that it will have all bacchanalists chipping and jumping from 10pm til Mornin', powered by their mugs full of Appleton, and the super nova turntable line up of Trini Soca masters DJ Duchess Alicia and DJ Private Ryan and local Soca revolutionaries DJ Smoke and DJ Bambino. The rum of everything Carnival, Appleton, promises that patrons will gain full flight, as this troop will be lead by the expert commander, the one and only Soca Queen, Destra Garcia, who will lead the paint covered baddists out of the Lift Off arena and on to the streets of Kingston!
Known as the event that paints the streets of Kingston, Bacchanal Jouvert holds the “paint can't done” record over all other Jouverts, leading paint covered, rum-toting revellers through the streets of New Kingston. This year the route from the new Mas Camp is a bit longer, ensuring that revellers have plenty time to get on bad in the streets, enjoying the last hurrah before Carnival, until the wee hours of the early morning!
“We are excited about the entire carnival, and Jouvert is the last bit of carnival before Road March, so we decided to give our patrons a good send off by sponsoring Jouvert.” said Cecil Smith, Marketing Manager, Wray and Nephew Rums.
Appleton, who has been a regular sponsor of Jouvert in the past, promises patrons that they will enjoy their night to the last drop, with their regular Appleton Mug Madness as well as giveaways of one free Appleton drink plus a mug to party with for the first 250 persons. But that isn't all they have up their sleeves, patrons have to come out to see what else Appleton has in store.
“Well that's a secret right now. We might have something big, be but we don't want to release any information right now.” smiled Jared Samuel, Brand Assistant for Appleton Jamaica Rum.
