The invitation said Reggae Kulcha Explosion, but that was only a sneak peek into what was to be expected from Couples Tower Isle’s 45th anniversary celebrations. What the hotel group presented last Saturday night was the crème de la crème in Jamaican entertainment, food and culture. And the names were there as proof. Performances by Dean Fraser, Tarrus Riley, DJ Bambino and the group Icoustik, led by Howard ‘Djani’ Sinclair, was the perfect way to mark decades in hospitality.
