Proud Patrons Of Saute Trinbago 2011 To Wear White on Sunday

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. September 23, 2011 - Patrons of this year’s Saute´ Trinbago experience are being called upon to come dolled up in white. The idea goes hand in hand with the event’s 2011 theme- that being Proud to be Trinbagonian. The white in the island’s national flag symbolizes the sea by which the islands are bound, the cradle of the nation’s heritage; the purity of the people’s aspirations and the equality of all men under the sun and so, with that in mind, organisers at Cloud Nine Promotions say white is the ideal colour to represent this year’s goal. 

Already soca stars have attested to their unwavering support for the event and on Sunday, the people of T&T, along with a number of visitors from across the islands and continents, will make their way to the Paddock, Queen’s Park Savannah. With gates opening at 2pm, patrons, many of whom purchased their tickets quite early, are anticipating the smorgasbord of tasty delights, among these sushi, crab and dumplings, roti, Creole, Indian and Chinese cuisine and of course, lots and lots of Trini styled desserts. Beyond that, there’s been talk of additional guest artistes added to the cast, among the popular additions Explainer, The Neal & Massy All Stars and students from the U.W.I. Department of Creative and Festival Arts. These of course, will join Machel Montano Rikki Jai, Bunji Garlin, Destra Gacia, Benjai, Mungal Patasar and others, for entertainment that goes beyond the ordinary. 

The event is seen by organisers as the perfect opportunity to market the island, its personality, tastes and sounds and with many overseas having expressed great interest in the event, it won’t be strange to see quite a few visitors to the shores of the island within the days leading up to Sunday’s grand celebration. Saute´ Trinbago is just one of those events that encourages cultural, ethnic and social unity, say organisers and with that being it’s fundamental aim, this year’s event is certainly viewed as a step in the right direction for the people of Trinidad and Tobago. A number of reputable brands have come forward with expressions of support for the event, among these Bmobile, Link Me Limited, Hilton Trinidad, Lucozade, Blue Waters, Flavorite, K2K Alliance and Partners, Chivas, Heineken, Angostura Cocktails, Tresemme´, Heartbeat 103.5FM and Ebony 104FM.

LinkMe Limited's Shelly Ann Hee Chung

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. September 12, 2011---------- Nothing will stand in the way of Saute´ Trinbago 2011. So say organisers who, after days of discussion have agreed that Saute´ has and will continue to be a true celebration of Trinbago culture. Event organisers say Saute´is being held at a time when it is certainly needed, as it will provide an escape for Trinbagonians who may be disheartened by the current climate on the island.  

On September 25th, just one day after the country celebrates Republic Day, Saute´ Trinbago will provide a spectacular showcase of not just the sights, sounds and tastes of the multicultural island paradise, but also a prophecy of what lies in wait for the country. Organisers of Saute´ Trinbago are using this event to push for a better Trinbago, saying that it 

is only with a unified push, can peace and compassion return to the hearts and minds of T&T nationals. Already a number of sponsors have thrown their support behind the event, among them, Bmobile, Caribbean Airlines, Hilton Trinidad, Heineken, Blue Waters, Chivas, Lucozade,Angostura Cocktails and Flavourite just to name a few.  

With planning in full swing, Shelly Ann Hee Chung of LinkMe Limited, the company that is 

entrusted with PR and Media for the event, is guaranteeing a truly all-inclusive cultural 

experience from 2pm to 9pm on September 25th.  Hee Chung says patrons will get the full 

works at this year’s Saute´, especially since adjustments to the schedule have been made in light 

of the implemented curfew hours in T&T. “We’ve brought the time forward a bit, which will 

allow for patrons to arrive early and enjoy the delightful array of food, the ambience and of 

course Machel Montano!,” she said excitedly.  

The Road March and Soca Monarch king will be a part of this year’s entertainment lineup, as 

will 2011 Chutney Monarch king, Rikki Jai, the reputed Mungal Patasar and the rhythmic Neal 

and Massy Steel Orchestra. “It will be an event to break the strains of the past few weeks, 

something that families can come out to and truly become engrossed in. It’s just one day after 

Republic Day and we believe Trinidad and Tobago must be celebrated for its rich and diverse 

culture and the people who make the island what it is- no matter what,” said Hee Chung.  

In the past two years, Saute´ Trinbago has set a precedence for being a truly all-encompassing 

delivery of T&T’s cultural splendours and while it started off as a showcase of Trinbago’s 

tastes, the event has come full circle, delivering to patrons much more than they expect each 

year. According to Hee Chung, there’s really no reason anyone should miss this extravagant 

celebration – in fact she dares true Trinbagonians to miss it, saying they’ll certainly live to regret such a decision. “ This is about us as a people of varying backgrounds. This is where we’ll all stand proud as Trini’s to show the world that even amid chaos, we’re a united people who love our country. This is where we all have to be on September 25- Saute´Trinbago,” said Hee Chung. With tickets already available at a number of locations including B Mobile flagship stores nationwide, Woodford Café Port-of-Spain and Chaguanas and from committee members, anyone still left with questions are invited to call the Saute´ Trinbago hotline at 74- SAUTE´ (747-2883).


“ There’ll also be a lot of opportunities for people to win tickets on Ebony 104FM and Heartbeat 103.5FM, as the day draws closer,” said an anxious Hee Chung.
