Picture this: You’re sitting at a virtual table, palms slightly sweaty, heart racing with anticipation. In front of you lies a digital spread of 13 cards, each one a potential game-changer. This is Pusoy, also known as Chinese Poker, and it’s about to become your new obsession.

The One Caribbean Music Festival which was touted to be one of the biggest events in Trinidad, turned into an unforgettable night for all the wrong reasons.  Chaos erupted as it was announced mere hours before the 9 p.m. showtime start that Vybz Kartel would not be performing as advertised. As showtime approached, Sizzla and Moliy also withdrew despite both arriving in the country.

Dancehall megastar, Vybz Kartel (aka Adidja Palmer) has been cleared to arrive and perform in Trinidad ahead of the One Caribbean Unity Music Festival scheduled for Saturday night at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain, Trinidad. 

Keyshia Cole and Jamaican Dancehall crooner, Dexta Daps (Louis Grandison Jr.) were billed as the headline acts for the inaugural event, and several thousand patrons assembled, all expecting what was advertised: a full hour performance from each of the two stars. However, American R&B Singer Keyshia Cole left the stage abruptly.

The highly anticipated Best Of The Best Music Fest is back on May 25th, 2025, for its 19th annual installment at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami. This year’s lineup promises a historic moment as two legendary artists, Buju Banton and Beres Hammond, share the same stage for the first time in Miami, Florida.

Internationally-celebrated band of brothers and Soca Ambassadors, Kes the Band has made history once again. They are the first soca act to sell out two SummerStage concerts at Central Park in New York City within hours of going on sale.

I Am Woman 2025 was off to a thumping start, Patrice Roberts accompanied by a beautiful choir opened the show. Hers fit straight out of Project Runway, dazzling in a silver bodysuit, flanked by dancers. From her vocals, to choreography, to crowd engagement, everything was exceptional. The runway style stage allowed her to easily interact with her adoring fans.

Two massive “M” shaped LED lights adorned the stage signifying the arrival of the king of soca, The Monk, Machel Montana. Off the jump, he would have the crowd in what can only be described as a state of mania as he performed this year’s soca hit, and road march contender, “Pardy” The energy was 1000% as the crowd sang along in a deafening chorus.

Now the time has come to honor the local hero and the Sangre Grande Festival Committee without much ado presented a trophy to Ravi B, as their Soca Superstar for 2025. Of course, such an honor must be celebrated, and Ravi B took the mic and showed why he is worthy of such an accolade.

In the vibrant world of Soca music, where rhythm and energy reign supreme, one dancer does more than just move to the beat. Melika Gillard, affectionately known as Luna, is on a mission to transform the way we think about dance. She’s not just teaching steps, she’s building confidence, creating spaces for women to embrace their sensuality, and celebrating Caribbean culture on a global stage.
