Carib Caribbean Beauty 400 strong Mash costumes band

Jan 25, 2010 News

Mash begins at Ansa MCal
If there was any proof needed that Ansa MC al Company is involved in the Mashramani in a major way, that proof was presented on Saturday when the company launched its 2010 costumes at Starlite Drive In, Montrose, East Coast Demerara.
Employing the creative abilities of Fashion/Costume Designer, Olympia Sonaram, the Carib Mash offerings were launched with performances form international Soca and Chutney acts, the likes of Ghetto Flex, Adesh Samaroo, Lil Bitz, Ziggy Ranking as well as Guyanese acts Spida, Jomo and Jory.
The gathering was moderate but most expressed appreciation that the company chose this location to launch a mash band and provide a combination of Soca and Chutney entertainment.
“This is one of our company’s ways of ensuring that we support the development of the nation’s entertainment and cultural development,” said Carib Beer Public Relations Officer, Darshanie Yussuf.
Judging from the rich display of gold and blue shiny costumes that are accentuated by large feathers, the Carib Costume band plans to set quite a standard to be built upon by other hopeful contenders in the road parade on February 23.
Yussuf said that the launch signals the company’s start of a host of Mashramani activities that her company will be hosting for Mashramani 2010 under a theme that borders on the many opportunities possible beyond the Caribbean horizon with the employment of Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy.
The costumes were presented by a slew of Carib Models who displayed costumes that will hit the road on February 23. The designer said that the band will have three sections as well as individual floats.
Nigel Worrel, Carib Marketing Manager, said the costumes are available from today at the Head Office, BV and can be ordered via telephone number 220-0505. He also noted that some lucky Carib beer supporters will win costumes through various promotions on radio and television.
Additionally, persons can do down payments to secure their costumes.
The company is also sponsoring the seventh annual Soca Monarch Competition which begins on Saturday in Linden. Though it was advertised that Shelly G would have performed, the soca monarch was notably absent for reasons unknown.
