Wednesday, February 24, Kingston, Jamaica (A.I.M Inc.): The vibe and energy surrounding Bacchanal Treasures continues to build with week 3 showing undoubtedly the greatest intensity thus far. Even the slight drizzle that greeted many of the early revelers was not enough to either dampen the vibe or detour the patrons from coming out to enjoy another Friday night at the Mas Camp.
With drink filled cups and soca in their ears, everybody was in a great mood half way into the night with a little over 3 hours remaining before the scheduled 2am lock off, the crowds had already started to fill the gaps in one of Kingston’s more spacious venues. No one could honestly say that the vibe was anything less than good; just enough to keep the patrons moving yet teasing them making them yearn for more with each passing minute. Credit must be given to Dj Billy and Dj Smoke representing the Renaissance Sound system. Both disc jockeys found the right blend of Dancehall and soca, both old and new to keep those in attendance jumping and raving. Continue reading BACCHANAL TREASURES – CROWD FAVOURITE

Following the formalities, Wasp delivered a fiery set alongside conscious crooner Nesbeth, up and coming reggae singer Influential and the strong one Etana. Continue reading Wasp Nabs ‘Song Of The Year’ Award
The ‘Feels So Good’ music video from sexy reggae singer Barbee premiered on Saturday on Winford Williams’ OnStage and earned the soulful singer some big props.
After the premiere, her momiger’s (mother/manager, Rose) phone was ringing off the hook as people called to congratulate Barbee on a great video and for her super hot sexy looks.
Shot at the prestigious Jamaica Conference Centre in Kingston, TD Films under the direction of Ras Tingle worked round the clock to capture the perfect ambiance for the ‘Feels So Good’ single that has been getting heavy airplay locally and abroad.
G and her crew from G&G Beauty Supply & Salon in Toronto, Canada flew into the island to outfit Barbee and the video ladies with their lace wigs, while Cathy was on par with makeup.
All the outfits featured in the video were styled by Barbee herself, who is always a perfectionist when it comes to flair and class – one of the reasons the diva loves shooting her videos in Jamaica.
