We haven’t been hearing much about Kees but rest assured, the dreadlocks wearing soca heartthrob’s been on the grind, delivering his brand of sweet soca to revellers across the world. Recently, Kees made waves in Jamaica as that island’s carnival celebrations concluded. Our EBUZZ Caribbean correspondent was on hand to take in the action and what we noted was the fact that wherever Kees goes, he leaves a lasting impression.

While in Jamaica, Kees was spotted with Groovy Soca Monarch king, Kerwin Du Bois. The two reportedly hung out for a while at an all inclusive event called, Bazodee. Then on Road March Sunday, the ‘Wotless’ vocalist was one of several soca stars spotted on top of one of the big trucks. Machel Montano was seen sharing some wining action with some of the ladies in costume, undoubtedly enjoying every second of it. DuBois meanwhile took a more low-keyed approach to the excitement, opting to chip alongside the truck inconspicuosly.

Jamaica’s carnival preceded Trinidad’s Point Fortin Borough Day celebrations, last weekend. The event failed to draw the massive crowds of years prior, however there were no incidents reported. Now with Jamaica carnival behind us, many now look forward to carnivals in the Cayman Islands, Atlanta, Orlando, Berlin, St. Lucia and of course, coming in August, Barbados Crop Over. Wonder if Rihanna will be joining her island family this year!?
