A cultural loss of epic proportions indeed. Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Association President, Lutalo “Brother Resistance” Masimba has died.

The 67-year-old Laventillian was a Rapso pioneer and was well known for his strong representation for the authentic culture of Trinidad and Tobago.

Media reports have stated that he had been ailing for some time and died at a private health facility In West Trinidad, overnight.

In April, Masimba had rallied for inclusion of the entertainment sector in vaccination efforts undertaken by Trinidad and Tobago’s government, writing to the Health Minister on behalf of the sector. He had expressed the need for workers in the entertainment sector to be considered since many had lost their livelihood since the pandemic’s restrictions were implemented.

Since that time, artistes have been able to join the vaccination Programme and many have flown out of Trinidad and Tobago, where they have been able to earn again.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and close friends of this beloved cultural icon.

THE THEME: Soirée Parisienne – La Belle Époque

For 2026, Dîner en Blanc Diner celebrates an era of Paris defined by elegance, artistry, and refinement. Guests are invited to embrace an elevated all-white aesthetic, where fashion becomes a form of expression. Tables, styled in pure monochrome, echo the sophistication of historic salons and café culture, while the dining experience draws on the traditions of French gastronomy where cuisine, conversation, and ambiance come together as one.

Meagan Monsegue and Nigel Roach, hosts of Dîner en Blanc – Port of Spain, shared their excitement for this year’s edition: “Port of Spain has embraced Dîner en Blanc as one of its signature social experiences. We’re excited to build on that legacy with an evening that’s elegant, inclusive and unforgettable,” noted Meagan.

How the Experience Works

To preserve the event’s tradition and maintain its elegant atmosphere, every guest plays an essential role. Participants must follow a few timeless guidelines:
Dress code: A chic, all-white ensemble is mandatory. Elegance, originality, and creativity are encouraged. Table setting: All table elements like décor must be white to uphold Dîner en Blanc’s signature visual identity. 

Secrecy of the location: The venue remains a surprise until the last moment. Guests will meet at designated departure points and be escorted by Dîner en Blanc Diner volunteers to the final location. Leave No Trace: In keeping with the event’s commitment to sustainability, guests must bring home everything they arrived with, leaving the space spotless.
