Trevlyn, Die Hard Bring Fire To ‘Flare- The All White Affair’
There’s no shortage of nightlife activity in Trinidad and Tobago- the Caribbean destination known for non stop excitement. One weekend ago, just at the exit of the Piarco International Airport in Trinidad, an event that saw a glowing bunch of happy people dance the night away, reminded us here at EBUZZTT that there’s more to life than yacht rides. Yes… yacht rides.

Trinidad and Tobago socialite, Kwesi ‘Flare’ hosted his inaugural event, aptly dubbed, ‘Flare The All White Affair’ at Scotchie’s Bar and Lounge in East Trinidad. Promotion of the white party weeks ahead, proved intrinsic to the turnout the event would essentially garner. Women dressed elegantly in white and men donning well fitted threads, the likes of which would these days, hardly be seen across the nightlife circuit, adorned the lounge. They’d come out to be seen, to show their worth and of course, pose for the cameras; and that they did. ‘Flare’ wasn’t without its share of photographers, all of whom took turns capturing the moment, but what sealed the deal last Saturday for most, was the final DJ set delivered by 96.1WEFM radio personality, Trevlyn and his DJ, Die Hard. The pair certainly stood out- this after several DJs prior, dabbled more or less in most of today’s hits. It wasn’t until the popular radio voice and his partner in music made their entry that the party truly took on a life of its own. Hits of the early nineties, crossing genres and blending time periods left music lovers, wiping sweat off their brows. It was indeed, a night they’d remember.
The event saw a gathering of friends- some of whom even came from overseas.

For Kwesi ‘Flare’, the event proved that he’d beaten the odds. The former dancer and sometimes singer, had taken a risk, based solely on gut and gumption. In the end it worked and by all accounts, another ‘Flare’ event is in the works. Stay tuned to www.ebuzztt.com. We’ll let you know just when it will be.

Terri Lyons Makes History with Fourth Consecutive Queen of Queens Title.
Trinidad and Tobago’s Calypso Queen Terri Lyons has once again cemented her place in Caribbean music history after winning the Queen of Queens Competition at Montserrat for the fourth consecutive year.
The highly anticipated event took place on Tuesday, December 30th, where Lyons delivered a commanding performance that set her apart from a strong regional field of competitors. Her victory further solidifies her reputation as one of the most dominant and consistent female voices in modern calypso.
Terri Lyons, the daughter of legendary Soca King Austin “Superblue” Lyons, has been making a tremendous impact on the calypso scene for years, earning respect for her lyrical strength, stage presence, and commitment to the art form. Many have noted that while she proudly carries her father’s legacy, she has firmly established her own powerful identity in the genre.
At Tuesday’s competition, Lyons topped the lineup, with Antigua and Barbuda’s Ge’eve Phillip securing second place, and Trinidad and Tobago’s Roslyn Reid-Hayes finishing in third.
Fans and fellow artistes have since taken to social media to praise Lyons’ continued excellence, with many calling her reign “unmatched” and “well deserved.” Her latest win not only highlights her individual talent but also underscores the strength of Caribbean calypso on a regional stage.
With four consecutive Queen of Queens titles now under her belt, Terri Lyons continues to raise the bar, proving that her crown is not just inherited, but undeniably earned.
