Caesar’s Army and Heineken once again demonstrated their ability to bring the raw, unadulterated energy of soca music to an event, while maintaining premium execution. The result was ultimate satisfaction for the patrons of Mai Tai at Devon House, St Andrew, on Easter Monday.

The audience enjoyed pure vibes and good, clean fun. A sea of stylish belles and beaus filed into the sunset soiree to embrace the pre-road march soca vibe. Jumping in unison to songs such as Famous, Dip, and Big Bad Soca, the brightly clad patrons enjoyed performances from Shal Marshall and Bunji Garlin. Fayan Lyons made a surprise appearance to round out the night.

“Beautiful venue, great performances, an eclectic mix of music, premium liquor and an incredible vibe — this is what patrons have grown to expect from a Caesar’s Army event,” said Aaron “Kaboom” Spence, Caesar’s Army team member.

The popular Mai Tai concept series began as a ‘paradise party’ in Trinidad and has been evolving annually with editions in New York and Miami. Monday’s hosting was the first Jamaican edition.

“Jamaica is the island of paradise, so a Mai Tai Jamaica was a perfect fit,” said Spence.

Heineken is a Caribbean-wide sponsor of the Caesar’s Army event series.

“This carnival season has been all about reinventing the Soca scene in Jamaica,” said Suwannee Stewart, brand manager for Heineken.

“The Caesar’s Army team, both locally and in Trinidad, are experts at creating innovation in an otherwise saturated market. So we couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to help them bring Mai Tai to life in Jamaica.”

The night came to a climax as Heineken’s Trinidadian ambassador, Patrick the Hypeman from Nuphoric, left patrons begging for a ‘last lap’.
