Derrick Lewis, managing director of Island People (IP) told a crowd of IP partners, sponsors, entertainment personalities and the media on Friday that at “Yeah”, their new event for Carnival 2011, they will introduce the idea of hyper-inclusive — a premium inclusive area in an already inclusive event, known before as their Amnesia fete.
The reason? In response to the needs of their patrons after a recent survey where they answered “Yeah” to the possibilities of something new — sushi, premium drinks, affordable drinks, Machel, a new venue, exotic food and an exclusive price.
It’s going to be like “Amnesia” (IP signature event) evolved, according to Lewis, and it is also going to be Machel Montano’s premier performance for the Carnival season.
At the launch Montano’s manager/mother, Liz Montano assured that her son was putting the final touches on his album in Barbados, and will be fully ready for his grand re-entry to Carnival performances on January 22, when “Yeah” comes off at the newly renovated MOBS 2 in Chaguaramas.
Sharing the stage with Montano will be Kes The Band.
Lewis’ brother and IP director Dane, also took the opportunity to present a cheque of $10,000 to the Brian Lara Cancer Treatment Foundation in honour of their own mother who recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. It was accepted by Dr Nigel Camacho on behalf of the Foundation.
Special presentations were also made on the night to five foundation members of Island People.
Other IP events for Carnival 2011 include Girl Power-Outrageous, Shades of Dawn and The Insomnia Edition of The Young and the Restless.
