The Icons are Here!

214

This week two iconic figures in Calypso and Soca touched down in Saint Lucia for today’s Soca Explosion taking place at Gaiety Gardens. The two – Becket from St. Vincent and the Calypso King of the world, the Mighty Sparrow – will share the stage with a number of other Saint Lucian and Regional acts including De Invader, Q-Pid, Superman HD, Baron out of Trinidad, Mr. Killa of Grenada and Shurwyn Winchester of Trinidad & Tobago.

This is the second annual Ricky T and friends event presented by Stratophere Muzic and powered by Digicel. With the tagline of “4 Icons; 4 Kings! One Night; One Stage!” Ricky T will share the stage with some of his mentors as well as some of his young peers.

The organisers have assured fans in the veterans league that adequate seating will be provided while fans who want to party with their favourites can do so within the ample space of Gaiety Gardens.
