These events will be produced by, D. “Bodellsays” Noel for Soca Wear Calypso Beat International, Ltd; presenters of “Calieapso Me Jahzz” “The Reconnection” with the hopes of this tourism spectacular becoming an Annual one.
We have asked the Ministry of Trade & Industry, the Ministry of Tourism, The Tourism Development Company (TDC) the Ministry of Arts & Multiculturalism and the private local & International business sectors to come on board. We have also extended invitations to all the foreign ambassadors here in this great Republic, asking them to join us in our presentation, by lending their cultural support. Why did we ask them? Because they are our friends and we want to celebrate our Golden Jubilee with our friends and there will be a surprise roll call to indicate so.
