So what's new in the Crop Over world this week? We heard last night's Soca Sushi by Baje had some good reviews. The location, Cassareep Cafe held an occasional (non-Crop Over) event called Sushi Samba and featured house music on their rooftop/beachside cafe. The place USED to be a well kept West Coast secret. Guess the cat's out of the bag now!
Collision Entertainment launched their band 'The Elements'
Registration details can be found on their website, this band is highly recommended by us: http://www.collisionentertainment.com/
Contact Band finally launched (sigh! been waiting for this for so long) and has already sold out a few sections, with no frontlines left. I can see why as the costumes look hawt!
Island Mas has some things in store, more variety in the food, drink, and entertainment for their breakfast party this year. And it's Hawaiian themed, now that sounds interesting.
Sweet Soca finalists have been announced by the NCF (the Bajan equivalent to the Party Monarch etc.) with Edwin Yearwood as a late addition due to what they are calling technical difficulties. Eh heh. The usual entrants are all there. Not any new artists to shout about as such.
