PHOTOS: International Soca Night

International Soca Night, one of the major highlights of the ongoing 71st Emancipation Festival, drew a massive crowd and delivered electrifying performances from a packed lineup of regional artistes.

The event, held inside the Festival Village, featured high-energy sets from the 2025 Calypso King and Soca Monarch, as well as crowd favourites Xtreme featuring Pascal, Kassav, and V’Ghn. Trinidad and Tobago’s Nadia Batson, the night’s headliner, brought the venue to life with her signature sound, while Dominican artiste Asa Banton delivered an explosive performance that kept the energy high.

Photographer Andre ‘Shadow’ Dawson was on hand to capture the highlights of the night.
