Rum Punch Party, held at Temple Hall Estate, Temple Hall, St Andrew, last Sunday night. Looking good! - Winston Sill photos
Rum Punch promised patrons a wild time, delivering good music and a lot of rum on Sunday evening at the Temple Hall Estate, St Andrew.
Postponed due to the inclement weather the week before, Rum Punch got fairly clear skies the second time around.
A big venue, with a river running beside it, that was open to patrons who wanted to take a dip, wasn't packed, but that didn't stop persons from having a good time.
Kingston All Stars created a steady groove in the early segment after 6 p.m., with rap music mixed with a little dancehall.
ZJ Elecktra quickly went into a steady stream of new songs including Kartel's Clarks Again, Bramma's Some People, Stephen McGregor's Cyaan Friend Again among others.
Coppershot's DJ Sanjay then took over MC duties, calling for all the working, non-broke women to step forward. Sanjay later played a slew of old dancehall songs before touching the 'bruk out' songs that had patrons enjoying themselves.
By the time Kurt Riley came on the women were riled up, as he played soca, asking patrons to move to the centre of the dancefloor and they complied.
The women were soon on their head tops, on the ground, being hoisted into the air and having a good time. Through the rock segment, groups were having fun, jumping up and down and skipping to Holiday.
At the end of the night, exhausted patrons exited the venue, having had an enjoyable musical workout.
