Finesse made its debut last weekend at the picturesque La Vega Estate in Gran Couva. Several attendees hailing from various parts of T&T eagerly came out ready to party to pulsating music but also to experience one of the country’s most renowned nature spots creatively transformed into a true Soca paradise. The poolside event was produced by events outfit Green House Entertainment which is known for its signature cooler party ‘Cooler Park’. The producers pulled out all the stops to create a relaxing yet festive Carnival mood within the lush, secluded ambiance. The fete offered a culinary mix which stood up to true all-inclusive event standards and represented the eclectic tastes of partiers in attendance. Matching this was the collection of top shelf liquor and beverages which was available at the various bar stations strategically placed across the venue. Most notably, Finesse featured the newest premium spirit on the market, Meukow Cognac. In between trips to the multiple food and bar stations, the fashion forward feters congregated at the poolside dance floor to party with the event’s cast of excitable DJ’s. On the live entertainment side, Finesse brought forward performances by DJ turned Soca artiste 5 Star Akil who had the crowd moving to his 2016 smash “Different Me” along with classics such as “Partier”, “To Meh Heart” and “Noise”. 2014 Groovy Soca Monarch Kerwin Dubois continued the onstage action with his catalogue of current and previous hits which sent the audience into a state of Soca ecstasy. Rounding off the entertainment card was the performance by 2015 Chutney-Soca Monarch Ravi B and the band Karma. Ravi along with co-singers Krystal Khayne and Abbyshi and his young band of musicians kept the crowd dancing and singing to a collection of old school Chutney and Soca favourites combined with 2016’s biggest Carnival tunes. Regarding her event experience at ‘Finesse’ one patron shared, “I enjoyed the fete and all its exceptional features and entertainment but I particularly love the use of La Vega for this event and I’d certainly want the promoters to put together another similar party experience in this neck of the woods”. By all accounts Finesse scored major points on the 2016 feting scale due to its creative Carnival vibe, premium party atmosphere, top notch entertainment and gorgeous venue.

DNA TESTS PROVIDE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- A series of DNA tests prove definitively that the man who calls himself Fabian "Marley" is without question not related to Bob Marley. Instead, the tests demonstrate conclusively that Fabian is the natural born son of Othneil Stanford. "The DNA tests show with scientific certainty that Fabian Marley is not the half-brother of either Rohan Marley, Stephen Marley or Robert N. Marley. In addition, similar DNA tests show the probability of Fabian Marley being the son of Othneil Stanford is 99.99%," said Dr. Karl A. Reich, Scientific Director of Independent Forensics DNA Testing & Technologies. Independent Forensics is a fully accredited and well renowned DNA testing laboratory in Illinois. The Marley family has repeatedly maintained that Fabian was an imposter who only asserted his familial relationship to Bob Marley in order to advance his music career. But for years Fabian had refused to undertake a DNA test with an accredited forensics laboratory. His most recent manager, Clayton Thomas, finally convinced Fabian to undergo the DNA test in October 2015 at an accredited DNA laboratory, and the results unequivocally demonstrate that Fabian cannot be the son of Bob Marley. Fabian's mother, Ms. Raphie Munroe, said about her son, "This is crazy talk. I never in my life told my son that Bob Marley was his father. I don't know how he came up with this, but it is not true. It never happened. I don't know where he got this from, but no one in the family ever said this even once." Fabian's eldest sister, Sandra Stanford Walker, confirmed, "Something is wrong with him, this is not normal behavior. Everyone knows he is not a Marley. His family, his friends, everyone in our community knows he is not Bob Marley's son. Fabian is troubled and we want to put an end to his lies." A spokesperson for the Marley family stated, " The Marley family is pleased to finally have this matter behind us. We have said repeatedly that this man who calls himself Fabian is not the son of Bob Marley. The tests now prove we were correct. We hope he can finally accept the truth of his own true heritage." Fifty-Six Hope Road Music, Ltd., is the company founded by Bob Marley's wife and children and the legal entity holding the trademark, publicity, persona and other intellectual property rights to legendary reggae artist Bob Marley.

A lot of people my age or younger may not know who Derrick Morgan is or even be familiar with his music so this was a way for me to at least reintroduce him to my supporters. It's an original song for those who may not know his 1967 version. I used parts of his verses as a chorus while I wrote and sang my verses."

Knowing it won't be easy to achieve your goals but still be willing to fight and conquering while remaining true to yourself."

A study by The NPD Group, a market research firm, found that Rihanna is the most marketable celebrity in the world. The Rihanna Navy has "more distinctive brand preferences" than fans of any other big-name celebrity, meaning she has 3.7 times as many endorsement opportunities as the average star. In second place was none other than Beyoncé, followed by Ne-Yo, Usher, and Wiz Khalifa. Perhaps surprisingly, the study found that Rihanna fans were especially likely to prefer Jeep as a brand, so don't be surprised if you see her driving one in a commercial soon.
