00:00at 11 pm the trailers that were provided for the international acts that were expected to grace
00:06the stage at the one caribbean music festival were empty at that time not a single artist
00:12had performed for the patrons who were at the venue for the show which was scheduled to begin
00:17at 9 pm hours before the show the issue of payment for the international acts came up
00:23amid vibes cartels cancellation which was followed by molly's and as the night progressed it became
00:29evident that sizzler kalangi too would be a no-show local artists were in limbo akim chans better known
00:36as pretty was one of them you are scheduled to perform here tonight at this point what is the
00:42situation um honestly i'm not too aware of what's going on um we're about to make a little exit
00:51it's unfortunate situation i think above all as mentioned before i think the patrons
00:59i feel it for the patrons the most that people are flying for this that people have spent tens of
01:05thousands of dollars for ken marlon charles who's subruques kmc being there was a matter of principle
01:11as he had given his commitment previously this has some lost money in it yet for everybody who is part
01:19whether the people with the food whether the whoever the drinks the bar the song system it all
01:27different kind of thing is going on here right now you understand but what i could say is that i just
01:32wish the promoter the best you understand because i know there's something a vision he had and he
01:37really wanted to do this thing because since cartel was in jail he when he used to go and check him
01:43and thing and thing and thing even while cartel was in jail he tell me boy when the man come out i want
01:47to do so and so and so and so who wouldn't want to come and see the world boss but it's really
01:52disappointing that he's not here i honestly did not want to show up but i mean money was spent it is
01:58what it is and i think who is here they may enjoy themselves thoroughly and what are some of the
02:03things you're enjoying tonight well i'm enjoying the ambience actually i am surprised i saw how much
02:09people in here right now because of the you got the circumstances of that i'm not being here i mean
02:17like we got t and t
02:22panis joshua regrello was the first to perform around 12 15 a.m it was nerve-wrecking but also
02:30exhilarating just to go out and just feel the energy and really break the ice and break that energy
02:34he was followed by kmc ravi b and even the water boss himself iwa george
02:44and well there was even a cartel look-alike
02:51the only international act to perform at the event was jamaican artist chronic low
02:59and it was lady lava who closed the show
03:19but as the show came to an end after 4 a.m a disgruntled patron stormed the stage where she
03:26had to be subdued by security officials this eventually spiraled into people pelting objects
03:32at the stage and further escalated so much so that police and riot gear were called back into the venue
03:39to bring the situation under control alicia boucher tv6 news
