Alison Hinds Ready For Digicel Bacchanal 2009

Digicel Bacchanal 2009 has become one of the most anticipated Friday night happenings on the social scene in Kingston at Mas Camp over the past three weeks. In bigger, better style, Digicel continues to excite the Mas Camp audience each week with exciting new activities and this Friday, the Queen of Soca Alison Hinds will grace the Mas Camp Stage.

Shelly-Ann Curran, Senior Sponsorship Manager at Digicel comments, “Alison’s powerful, emotional vocals and high-energy live shows are legendary to Caribbean music fans. So it’s fitting that Hinds is the first soca artiste to grace the Digicel Bacchanal Stage”. Crowned the undisputed Queen of Soca by fans worldwide, the Soca Queen’s standout tracks include Ragamuffin, Aye Aye Aye, Twister, Faluma, Togetherness, DJ Ride, Sweetest Wine, Iron Bazodee, Fireworks, Roll It Gal and Love Affair and Soca In My Body all of which patrons can expect to hear this Friday at Mas Camp.

Every Friday night Digicel promises to bring something extra to Mas Camp. The Digicel Wheel has been a major attraction at Mas Camp with patrons visiting the Digicel booth to spin the wheel for a chance to win prizes ranging from call credit, Bacchanal T-Shirts to BlackBerry Flip handsets.

“And that is not all”, adds Shelly-Ann. “Digicel is also running a text promotion during the Carnival season where two lucky patrons can win two Moulin Rouge costumes and the opportunity to come jump a bigger, better beat with the Digicel band, and then get pampered at a Spa right after that”.
