IT SEEMS THAT selfies and soca are quite the mix.
As the sounds of the tuk band reverberated through the streets of Bridgetown for the launch of the First Citizens Crop Over City Fest & Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes yesterday morning, soca artiste Mikey found the perfect opportunity to blend the two.
This year’s launch was held in Independence Square and was heralded by the always popular tuk band, accompanied by Mother Sally, the Green Monkey and Shaggy Bear characters who paraded through Broad Street, drawing attention from City shoppers.
Not even the few showers could cool the growing festival fever.(AD)
