Thou­sands were caught up in mu­si­cal ec­sta­sy when Ray­mond Ram­nar­ine and Dil-E-Nadan gave a daz­zling per­for­mance on the big stage at Kuchela–The Cen­tral Fete on Fri­day.

Par­ty­go­ers de­scend­ed on the Na­tion­al Crick­et Cen­tre in Bal­main, Cou­va, for the much an­tic­i­pat­ed event, the on­ly ma­jor pre-Car­ni­val fete in cen­tral Trinidad. Per­for­mances by Avatar the Band, Kavi­ta Kissoon, Veekash Sa­hadeo, Kes The Band and Mi­cal Te­ja added to the fes­tive at­mos­phere.
