Super Jigga TC Promises to Bring It at Anchorage Cooler Splash this Friday

 An explosion of carnival excitement will begin in the West end of Trinidad from this coming weekend. One fete will start the fun on Friday, February 4th and it's dubbed, The Anchorage Cooler Splash. 

Since the completion of its renovation last year, the hot spot, which lies on the Anchorage Bay has seen little activity, but that will all change on February 4th when patrons will get the chance to enjoy the amazing new venue, which comes complete with top of the line amenities. Beyond the venue, the weekend jump-starter event will feature the biggest names for the Carnival season, among them Kes The Band, Karma with Ravi and Nisha B, The Millionaire Family, Benjai, Super Jigga TC, Shal Marshall, Denise Saucy Wow Belfon and a host of other top soca acts.

With coolers allowed unhindered entry before 11pm, patrons are expected to flood the venue early. This one’s guaranteed to be enjoyable and for the price of just $150- many agree, this one’s a deal that just can't be resisted.

On Friday night, nothing across the length and breadth of the island promises the carnival vibe, energy and enjoyment as the Anchorage Cooler Splash does. For this reason, the West end is expected to be abuzz with excitement from as early as 9pm and way into the wee hours of Saturday morning.

With some of the season's biggest soca tracks, Super Jigga TC has assured that this one will be one for the books. "Along with Shal, I'm gonna put on a show for that crowd- they won't know what hit them," he laughed. As one of Soca's hard hitters this season, Super Jigga TC is everywhere but on February 4th, he's guaranteeing something spectacularly different. "This one's gonna be the show they've been waiting for," he said.

The Anchorage carnival experience is one that has remained a fond memory for many. Back in the day, it was known as the Anchorage Street Party and now with one of the hottest venues to boast of, organizers are eager to welcome patrons to the inside where the best cooler splash experience is guaranteed.

Denise ' Saucy Wow' Belfon Gives More Ahead of C2K11.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Soca is more than a hustle for one of T&T’s leading entertainment professionals. For Denise Belfon, known by her sobriquet, Saucy Wow- music is a craft that deserves continued attention, that the best end result can be achieved.

For the past two years, she’s laid somewhat low, having done only collaborations with artistes she respects in the industry. In 2011 however, Denise Belfon re-emerges hotter, lyrically stronger and fresher than ever before. Her matured seduction promises to entice, and her music promises to lure patrons, and with an aim to shake things up musically, she plunges forward, first with “ Dance And Dingolay.”

 fellow entertainers, Blaax, Swappi and even Swappi’s brother, the group 645 among others, Saucy on her first release ahead of Carnival 2011, rides the Swahili riddim, produced by Andrew Phillip and Shac De Burg and mastered by ‘Mice’ at Champion Sounds Studio. The track, she says, is powerful, with an African vibe that injects a call to stand up, revel in the mas, the music, the thrill that is T&T’s carnival. Written by Belfon herself and Jason Bishop- aka Shaft, Denise says “Dance and Dingolay” took her back to her roots of Best Village where her home of Point Cumana became a fond memory.

“ It’s really a different vibe and I think this is a great first release heading in C2K11, considering what’s still to come,” she said.

During her two -year semi-hiatus, Denise Belfon says she felt her fans’ yearning and decided that the time had come, this year, to execute stronger than she had before. “I’m doing these projects for my fans to feel happy again- Carnival misses me,” she said.

Beyond this first release, Belfon- on an even more serious note, indicated that she thinks Carnival needs more activity for the children of T&T. “ I’m launching Poise on January 15th,” she hinted, explaining that the children’s mas band was created by her 9-year-old daughter Cassandra. The launch of Poise takes place on the Greens at the Queen’s Park Oval and will see the emergence of many bright, new, young faces. “ My aim is to offer children their own place in carnival, complete with their own music, mas, steelpan, everything.”

Already she guides her daughter Cassandra who she says will enter both the Junior Calypso Monarch and the Junior Soca Monarch competitions in C2K11. Additionally, a 13- year-old boy- Zebbi Williams and his two brothers have been under the protective guidance of the artiste and mother of four. Zebbi too, will enter both Junior Monarch competitions.

On her involvement musically, with the band Poise, Denise says her track, “More Love,” will consciously strike the right chord with the kids, and will be used as the band’s theme song.
For Denise Belfon, being an entertainer means more than bright lights and stage performances. It also means being able to lend support to those in need and help foster awareness via that celebrity. “I work with the Princess Elizabeth Centre in Woodbrook and I’m doing a benefit dinner and dance on December 12th at the Oval Ballroom for them, with all proceeds going toward the centre’s development. The venue was originally the Hyatt, but we were forced to change the venue. Entertainment will be provided by Roy Cape and Blaxx, Kenny J, H2OPhlo, Baron, Alison Hinds and Trini Barbie and there will also be a Fashion Show, executed by San Fernando based Du Rante Designs. I would like people to come out and support for the benefit of the children in need,” said the singer.

Amid these projects and countless others, Denise Belfon promises to give only her best. In an industry that is often highly critical, she assures that no matter what, her music and the things she becomes involved in, will always be a reflection of hard work and ambitious goals.
