HOUSE OF SOCA, in its 35th year as a calypso tent in Barbados, is partnering with Freekz Customz at Bank Hall, St Michael to heighten activity for the 2015 Crop Over season.
The launch by House of Soca this afternoon is an effort by management to give back to their fans and Barbadians in anticipation of the tent opening at Divi Southwinds, Christ Church next Saturday.
Manager Sharon Carew-White said a bus would take the 2015 cast to Divi and Montrose Supermarkets – both sponsors – and back to Bank Hall for another lime in what was billed as a “Motor Launch”.
She said sponsors were very important and beneficiaries should let them know they were very vital.
Calypsonians taking to the House of Soca stage this year are Sir Ruel, Popsicle, Jimmy Dan, Dre, Franswaa, Gallon, Ranaan, Sammy G, Shaki K, Honesty, Callie, Queen T, Shanz, Amber Stone, Gorg, Peter Ram, Farmer Ubu, Deano, Mr Mole and Kadeem.
Back-up singers are Ian Sealy, Debra Clarke, Maria Rowe and Kishenta Alleyne. (JS)
