Reportedly, the media launch of the Concert was observed on Wednesday; during the launch, the project manager, Shrivon Redhead, informed us about the uniqueness of the Concert. She said, "It is truly walking you through the different eras of Grenada and the evolution through that, and that takes the shape of folk-dance presentation, Soca music, Calypso, the Moko Jumbies, just prepare to sit on everything Grenadianism." Further, she also said the event would be super encouraging and family-friendly, which would please everyone to take part and dance to the rhythms of these soca calypso artists. Being the 50the Independence Celebration Concert, Adrian Thomas- the Minister of Tourism, the Creative Economy and Culture, said the creative industry is very dear to the government and knows this Concert will create an impact. Further, in his address, he also delivered that it will encourage and play a critical role in putting the infrastructure in place so artists can see their talent and make it a reality.
