It’s about to be a memorable night for the nostalgic as the once hottest nightspot in West Trinidad, reopens its doors, welcoming the King of Steam, Yung Bredda for ‘SoDa.’
Akhenaton “Yung Bredda” Lewis headlines the event launch which synergies soca and dancehall music and culture. Once dubbed Club Coconuts and later, Fuzion, the event takes place tonight at the famous Trinidad and Tobago venue which is home to the Cascadia Hotel in St. Ann’s. “This is the only place to see Yung Bredda perform all his Steamy hits and get familiar with all his new releases before the Christmas and Carnival takes over,” said organisers in a media statement. “We’re looking forward to seeing all the fans of Steam link up with all the Soca lovers the Dancehall crews, so we can all represent for Caribbean music and culture to close off 2026.”
The SoDa Movement is building a database and will showcase a synergy of Soca and Dancehall music and culture via a series of events, collaborations and music recordings designed in distinctly unique and symbiotic formats. SoDa aims to showcase and highlight the harmony, versatility, similarities and diversity between Soca and Dancehall.
Event Coordinator, Jerome Antoine is a noted, dynamic and enterprising music producer, a Tribe Music Truck Manager and former radio DJ at RED 96.7 FM. He explained that SoDa is NOT another genre, but a social and cultural movement. “The SoDa movement is designed to create, explore and amplify synergies within the Soca and Dancehall industries,” Antoine explained. He said that for more than four decades, the public has listened to and created, enjoyed, made memories with, and celebrated their achievements with tons of Dancehall and Soca music as the soundtrack. “We have even created our own sub-genres like Trinibad and Steam and the artistes and citizens of the Caribbean continue to explore and enjoy both genres and cultures all the time” He noted the effect of the pandemic. “A few years ago and coming out of the pandemic, we saw a void in the entertainment scene and felt the need to blend the two worlds and apply a more engaging and edu-taining approach to presenting their similarities and strengths. Now, we feel like the time is right to celebrate these two genres and cultures, as we prepare for The Greatest Show on Earth in a few months and celebrate the Christmas season and the end of a highly eventful 2025 year.”
SoDa will feature a special performance by Yung Bredda, as well as several guest acts representing Soca and Dancehall. DJs Travis World and Salty, DJ Prodigy and the official SoDa DJ, Lord Hype will provide the soundtrack leading up to and in-between the live action.
Welcome Drinks will be provided by Rudeboy, with Hennessy flowing in the VIP Section, but there will be a fully-stocked bar and HybridTT cocktails available for purchase as well. Social media ravens can prepare for live video interviews on site by Overtime Media, ET&T, Scorch TV, EbuzzTT and MYOB.Enttt.

The Bar Is Being Set. Flowers All Inclusive to Up The Game in Point Fortin, This Weekend.
It’s a brand new concept being brought to life, in Point Fortin, however its impact, according to organizers, is already proving immense. The annual Point Fortin Borough celebrations, culminates this weekend and on Sunday, an event with a bigger purpose at heart, is anticipated to draw a massive crowd to fete, for the greater good.
Naya George and Anson George spoke exclusively with Ebuzztt.com ahead of the all inclusive experience. They’re excited to see their vision come to life. Anson, a well known name on the carnival and entertainment circuit, is known for his strong involvement in the BeachHouse Carnival brand. “It’s going to be on par with BeachHouse,” he assured, asserting ‘Flowers’ as the new ‘must attend’ fete in Borough Day festivities. “There are other events happening on Sunday in Point Fortin but there’s no other event of this caliber, happening,” said Anson, explaining that a few tickets are still available for those who still want to get in.
For Naya, the effort is less about business, and more about purpose. “We are partying with a purpose. We want to let people know that this isn’t just about feting. This is the only party that’s happening in Point Fortin that’s giving back to Point Fortin,” he explained, adding that proceeds will go toward investment in the young people. “The first set of projects will be at the Point Fortin West Secondary School where the event is being held. We are going to revitalize the sports programme, playing field restoration, sporting equipment and that kind of stuff, to ensure the youths have a place to find themselves in the area of sports. Flowers is the premiere fund raiser to do these things,” said George.
Set to welcome fete lovers from 5pm on Sunday at the Point Fortin West Secondary School, Flowers will feature a cast of talented artistes, inclusive of Nadia Batson and Lyrikal. “We want to raise fund in style and with high quality at heart, hence the reason the event’s caliber is high. This is going to be a first for Point Fortin,” said Naya George.
The Point Fortin Borough experience is widely attended, with a series of cultural events leading up to the weekend of excitement that is anticipated by locals and visitors alike, each year. “Flowers has set the tone for the Borough Day evolution I think,” said Naya George. “Fusion came to an end last night,” noted Anson. He said the cultural extravaganza, which was similar to Carnival’s Flava Village, was a huge success and noted the wide variety of cultural traditions, shared between April 25th and April 30th. “If people can jump on a plane to experience Grenada carnival, we are certain they can come from West and North Trinidad to enjoy the Point Fortin Borough activities,” said Anson, making it clear that ahead of the upcoming weekend, hotel and guest house occupancy is already high.
“Borough is like a second carnival,” said Anson. He said there are fetes happening throughout the day on Friday. “When you come, you get a taste of everything you get in carnival. You get the fetes, the all inclusive, the jouvert, the street food, the culture,” he highlighted, and this year, for the very first time, fans of culture, creativity and altruism, will fete with purpose at Flowers – a distinct, top tier, premium all inclusive experience in the heart of the borough.
Tickets for the event are available online at Stacy’s House Of Hair – Point Fortin, Atherley’s By The Park – San Fernando, Terminal 4 – Long Circular Mall and online at theticketgeneral.com.
