The Digicel Soca Diva and her live musical band performed some of her old hits but her new tune called âFree Upâ which was a collaborative release with reggae don Sean Paul, was much welcomed.
Destra then turned up the heat with the added attraction of her three dancers as they revealed dance moves from another new hit called âThe Saddleâ that left the gents in the audience in awe at the flexible dance moves.
At one point in the show, Destra demonstrated the new moves to at least one female patron and at the end of her lesson; she gave the patron the title of being the âLocal Destra Dancerâ in SVG.
Antiguan based Soca artiste, Tizzy, also gave a brilliant performance with her chart topping songs âFully Loadedâ and âExpose.â
âInsomniaâ fete lovers were not disappointed with the local cast of Icon, Danielle Veira, Skinny Fabulous, Blakie, Problem Child, Danni-O, Fireman Hooper, Luta, Jamesy P and Digicel signed performer Zohela.
