As special agents of soca, the assignment this past weekend was straightforward: head to Sabina Park in Kingston on Saturday night and indulge in a full 12 hours of non-stop dancing at the Soca+ Festival. If one managed to dance until sunrise, witness incredible soca and dancehall performances, and revel while getting soaked with water, then they could declare the mission a success. Let’s relive the sweet memories of the fête in today’s Something Extra.
