Fans enjoy Carenage performance of Lucozade King of the Road

Scores of Grenadian soca and steelband fans packed a section of the Carenage roadway on Sunday for an evening of entertainment headlined by Lavaman, the Lucozade King of the Road.

The free concert, lasting more than four hours, included junior and senior panorama champions, Republic Bank Angel Harps, as part of a free Lavaman “Fan Appreciation Show’’ and a concert celebrating the 2011 carnival success of artistes from the Carenage community.

Apart from Lavaman and Angel Harps, RKD and Associates and Andre Garvey and Associates – two Fancy Masquerade bands from the community – were runners-up for Band of the Year. RKD and Associates also won both King and Queen of the Band.

Lavaman sang many of his hits including his winning selection, “So We Dey.’’ Also gracing the stage were artistes such as Brother B, Otis, Boyzie and Luni Spark and Electrify.

Many brave fans, children as well as adults, took to the stage in impromptu performances and were rewarded with bottles of Lucozade.

In addition, the pan players of Angel Harps, Pan Ossia and Suzuki Pan Wizards were refreshed with complimentary drinks of Lucozade and Ribena, whose agents in Grenada is George F. Huggins & Company Ltd.

Lucozade and Ribena were very much a part of this year’s Carnival season. While the RIBENA Brand featured prominently at the Children’s Carnival Frolic (CCF), LUCOZADE can easily be dubbed the ENERGY Drink of Spicemas 2011.

With it’s inflated Lucozade Bottle projecting over 25 feet in the air and the very popular “Three for $10.00 promotion, Lucozade was adjudged, by masplayers and spectators alike, as “THE 2011 BRAND OF THE YEAR”.

The Lucozade Carnival Caravan began as early as June 24th with the Launch of SPICEMAS at Spice Basket.  The Brand was especially prominent at the Bi-weekly Carnival village at Richmond Hill and also touched down in Big Parish, St. Andrew’s for both the Soca and Calypso Semi’s. The Lucozade journey continued after the carnival with a Grand appearance at Fatman George “Eat you Crix and Kicks” Comedy show.

Sunday’s Free Lavama – Lucozade King of The Road (Road March Champion) concert marked the Last Lap for what was undoubtedly The People’s Choice for “Brand Of The Year” – Spice Mas 2011.
