The âOn Tourâ Calypso Tent produced a brilliant show on Saturday May 27 at the Victoria Park, helping to intensify the Mas 2006 fever.
Performances from the cast such as Black I with his jumpy tune âPom Pomâ had the audience rolling with laughter, Lady D, although nervous at first could not be stopped as she made everyone âBust a sweatâ with her song entitled just that.{{more}}
Poorsah had the crowd dodging âHolesâ with his new release that seems to be a sure contender for Road March, while Azara gave a âTongue Lashingâ to ills in society. Ipa also released one of his new tunes for 2006 but the audience seemed to have enjoyed his retro-tunes more.
But the night truly belonged to the guest performer of the evening, The Birdie, The Calypso King of the World, The Mighty Sparrow, Dr. Slinger Francisco.
Sparrowâs crisp clear voice, subtle undertones and clever lyrics had fans singing along with every line and stanza while others kicked off their shoes and boogied to the music of the living legend.
Never one to short change his audience, the 71-year-old entertainer gyrated like a 20-year-old and at times flirted with the ladies who flocked to the front of the stage.
Screaming for more, patrons requested songs such as âThe Congo Manâ and âJean and Dinah.â âThe Birdieâ obliged without hesitation.
It was truly a phenomenal evening of great company and great music where local artistes from the âOn Tourâ calypso tent and a calypso legend who has been singing for over 40 years gave patrons their moneyâs worth.
The Miss SVG contestants and local Miss Universe representative Shiverne Peters also graced the audience with their presence in their final public appearance before the Miss SVG show tomorrow.
