Vincentian soca artiste, Skinny Fabulous, got Hennessy BRT Weekend event series off to a great start with an energetic performance at the world famous Dunn’s River Falls’ Tranquility Garden in St Ann.

Fresh from an eventful fete season with the grand return of Trinidad Carnival, the artiste over-delivered on his promise to treat patrons with a “rowdy” performance last weekend. He hit the stage with a high burst of energy which had patrons hanging on to his every word and following his instructions.

“All soca fans let me see you put your hands in the air right now! Push them up and up and up!” he instructed, and they followed obediently.

He pulled the best of the best from his catalogue performing hits, such as Family, Up and Up, Take Off Something and ending with Come Home, his newest collaboration with Nailah Blackman.

Soca lovers could be seen dancing and ‘wuking up’ during the magnetic 15-minute set of Skinny Fabulous with hands and flags waving up in the air.

Anniko Brown could not contain her excitement and was overjoyed with the experience.

“The event sell off, it shut down, all a di foreigners come fi shell the place, tun it ova, bruck it down, Jamaica nah good again after BRT,” she exclaimed.

While Gavin Brown, enjoyment aside, was impressed with the planning.

“The event is perfect, the location is perfect, the sponsors are perfect ... because you have access to AirBnB and car rentals. A lot of persons who come for this event are overseas, so they need both,” he said.

Guests also had access to hotel shuttles, river excursions on the falls, complemented by unlimited food and drinks.

Hennessy Jamaica, title sponsor of the weekend-long event, executed the bar set up, provided various premium cocktails, and top-tier engagement opportunities for patrons and consumers alike.

Kamal Powell, regional marketing manager at J Wray & Nephew Ltd, distributors for Hennessy, said the first event was “just a warm-up” and promised that the weekend would be “amazing”.

“So, hold on and sit tight and watch Hennessy create memorable experiences right before your eyes. We aim to please and want our consumers to enjoy themselves to the max, but of course, do so responsibly,” he stated.

The Hennessy BRT VIP Brunch was loaded with good vibes, music and tasty Jamaican breakfast and lunch options. Local and international DJs including Noah Powa and Chromatic Live kept the music flowing and ensured maximum enjoyment for patrons.
