b-Square comes alive

The b-Mobile’s Brimblers steelband entertained what started off as a small crowd for about an hour until 12 noon when Port-of- Spain mayor Joel Martinez declared the entertainment open. Ancil “Blaze” Isaac, Jr, who acted as the master of ceremony, kept the artistes coming, often acting as a back up singer for them.

Soca artistes Eddie Charles and relative newcomer, Trini, were the first to get the crowd moving, but it was Marvin Lewis, son of the late Austin “King Austin” Lewis, who brought in the vintage as he sang one of his father’s calypsoes from yesteryear.

Winston “Explainer” Henry sent the crowd into nostalgia with one of his classics, “Lorraine”.

He was followed by Devon Matthews and female icon Ella Andall, but it was the winer boy himself, Robert “Lord Nelson” who had the crowd waving and wining to several of his hits including “La La”, “Wine and Chook It” and his all time classic “Meh Lover”. Famous for his jumpsuits, Nelson said he opted not to wear a jumpsuit yesterday, but chose green jersey, jacket and pants, the signal colour for bMobile.
