Bunji’s Birthday Bash Scores Big

Celebrated T&T multiple Soca Monarch champion Bunji Garlin celebrated his birthday in grand style on Saturday July 17^th.

 

The event called “Earthstrong of a lyricist” scheduled as part of Bmobile’s Hot Ticket Summer, was held at the southern Trinidad nightclub Club Sting and attracted a huge collection of Bunji’s fans and fete enthusiasts.

 

Droves of supporters made their way south side to show love and appreciation for Garlin, who has over a decade long career in music. Just around midnight the evening’s MC, Sunny Bling brought on the first of the star-studded cast of performers, one that spanned various musical genres and Caribbean islands.

 

First to hit the stage was media personality/artiste RKG, followed by Synergy Soca Star 2010 winner, Metro. The duo known as the “Sorrel Boys” made famous for their internet music video sensation “Yuh Want Some Sorrel Or Wha” performed that track along with other originals and song parodies much to the audience’s amusement.

Local Reggae singer Mr. King was followed by Squeezy Rankin, a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Some of T&T’s talented dance groups performed to an eclectic set by Super Jigga TC who then introduced the first regional act, Bad Gyal Cecile from Jamaica. Cecile shared, “It’s always a pleasure to support a fellow artiste and I love Trinidad so it’s always great to represent for the Trini people”.

Bunji and Fay-Ann finally appeared to a warm greeting by the capacity crowd which sang a lusty ‘Happy Birthday’ to Bunji before the pair unleashed their barrage of hits. Bunji’s dancehall star friends Busy Signal and Beenie Man were the main acts and brought the house down. Jamaica’s Macka Diamond, Grenada’s Tallpree, St. Vincent’s Problem Child and Denise “Saucy Wow” Belfon were also part of the cast.
