Every year, Trinidad and Tobago Carnival attendees usually suffer from a strong case of post-carnival depression (PCD) shortly after the festivities stop. To that end, ShorBlu Events will present PCD – the soca fete – on March 3rd at Avant Gardner – 140 Stewart Avenue – in Brooklyn, New York.
This is a daytime event, scheduled for 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, that will see Trinidad & Tobago Carnival 2024 Road March Champion Mical Teja performing live, alongside Nailah Blackman, Pumpa & others. Click here to buy tickets.
This weekend, on Saturday, February 10th, Soca will takeover Queens Park Oval – 94 Tragarete Road in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago – as carnival gets into full swing.
The cooler fete will see Kes The Band, Mical Teja, Iwer George, Jadel, Nadia Batson, and others performing live. The live acts will be supported by a slew of soca selectors: DJ Spice, DJ Silk, DJ House Arrest, DJ Daiky, and that is just to name a few.
On his latest single, Energy Killers, Trinidadian recording artist Kerwin Du Bois explains why he prefers to stay by himself. Using a groovy soca rhythm, and with a catchy melody, the man from Port of Spain gives the impression that he prefers a simple existence, one without the crowd and hype.
The official video for Energy Killers, though beautifully done, is as laid back and addictive as the song itself. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment and share.
