One of Barbados’ most anticipated charity events, Soca Goes Gold, is set to return for its seventh edition on Saturday at CARIFESTA House, Waterford, St Michael.
Last year, the effort raised more than $50 000, which went in essentials for more than 650 families.
The line-up will feature some of the top performers in the region in an unforgettable night of the best in soca music – past and present – in support of the Eden Lodge Youth Charitable Trust’s annual
Give Back Programme.
Dwayne Grazette, president and chief executive officer of the charity, said the 2025 COB Credit Union Soca Goes Gold 7: Battle Of The Bands will feature Trinidad’s Destra Garcia and the Bakanal Band, as well as Neil Iwer George. There will be the Bajan stars, including Edwin Yearwood & krosfyah,
cultural ambassador Alison Hinds, Anderson Blood Armstrong and Square One, the D Unit Band, Lil Rick, Lead Pipe & Saddis,
Damien Marvay and
Peter Ram.
“We have a dynamic line-up of artistes set to hit the stage on November 22 – four of the top local and regional soca bands along with over a dozen artistes. I can assure Barbadians that
Soca Goes Gold 7 will continue its tradition of delivering top-tier entertainment – truly the best of the best,” the organiser said.
Grazette added that, as in previous years, all proceeds from the event will go directly towards the Eden Lodge Youth Charitable Trust’s Christmas Give Back Programme, which provides critical assistance to families in need across Barbados.
“This year’s show is again being hosted in association with the Sandy Lane Charitable Trust and a number of other partners and donors,” he said.
“With their support and that of the patrons of last year’s event, we were able to raise over $50 000 after expenses, all of which funded our annual Christmas Give Back Programme
and provided food hampers, essential supplies and toys for over 650 families and, in each case, assisted with the payment of utility bills and the like.”
Grazette said the event was not just a show but a display of generosity, and they were hoping to exceed last year’s amount in order to reach even more families, as the demand for assistance was growing annually. ( AC/PR)
