Caribana Plus

Other than my love for Roti, my Trinidadian heritage is most evident on Caribana weekend. In addition to being one of the biggest festivals in the world, it is my opportunity to "get on bad" as we say back home.

Soca is the most festive music in the world and as a result is very infectious, especially when you have hundreds of thousands of people all focused on having a good time.

On Saturday Jake and I partied on the first ever CTV Caribana Float. One of my oldest buddies "DJ Nigel B" along with "DJ Riyad" provided the music and all we had to do was "dance 'n wave".

On Saturday night, I went to the Rocafella Block Party that was hosted by Jay-Z. It wasn't as well attendied as I thought it would be, but it livened up big time when Rihanna, Jay-Z himself and T-dot's own Kardinall took the stage.

The highlight of the weekend for me was the Flow Boat Cruise "Flowtin' on de Water" a concept which I created in my early days at FLOW but never had the opportunity to attend because I was always promoting my own events as well, which I had to oversee.

My younger brother Francisco and I went together and literally rocked the boat all night long!
