It was a night for sheer enjoyment and at least one event in Carnival that lived up to its name, calling out women of all ages and backgrounds to the Queen’s Park Savannah. Highly advertised, Randy Glasgow Productions’ Soca For Her, held on Friday night, did tremendous service to the artform, bringing into focus a number of incredible artistes from around the region.

Dressed to wow and drop jaws, many of the country’s women adorned themselves from head to toe in chic fashion, some accompanied by good friends and others in the company of their spouses. It was a simply an evening to come out, relax and enjoy the sweet and sometimes high-energy sounds of Soca music. Held at the Grand Stand of the Queen’s Park Savannah, the event ushered patrons into seated areas, based on their ticket purchases of general or VIP access. Some chose to stand toward the left side of the stage, comfortable just to simply dance the night away while being in close proximity to the bar area. Those who’d chosen to sit got ample opportunity to stand and enjoy the revelry from time to time as artistes like Erphaan Alves, Farmer Nappy and Christopher Martin, Lyrikal, Nailah Blackman, Skinny Fabulous, Patrice Roberts and of course, Nadia Batson, thrilled in full length concert style showcases.

Glasgow, one of Trinidad and Tobago’s well known promoters, has always provided an event that caters to a broad demographic of particularly women. His ‘Ladies Night Out’ concept previously staged at the Jean Pierre Complex, was a phenomenal success for many years. With a new promotional baby to his credit, it is likely that Glasgow will continue to nurture Soca For Her, giving artistes a platform to truly present their music, in a setting that caters to lengthy productions.

Farmer Nappy Introduces Christopher Martin.

Fans of soca music have been hearing one of the season’s most played collaborations, ‘Gyal Like Rain,’ sung by Farmer Nappy and Jamaica’s Christopher Martin. The song came to life on Friday night when both artistes appeared on stage, to the true enjoyment of the women looking on. Known for his reggae hits, Christopher Martin came through with high energy, calling out to the women, “sexy ladies!!!” before continuing with the track alongside his Caribbean brother.

The entire showcase was incredible. Erphaan Alves, hitting the stage early on in the evening, penetrated with his past hits and of course, brought on the revelry when he unleashed his 2023 single, ‘Spirit,’ which has been picking up effortlessly in recent weeks.

One of the season’s surprises so far has been the inclusion of US Virgin Islands’ artist, Adam O, who’s been causing a scene pretty much at every event he hits. On Friday night, the artist did not disappoint. Called to the stage by Nadia Batson, Adam pounced into action and held his own on stage, making the ladies scream, jump and move as though he’d been a familiar face on the scene for years.
