Spicemas 2024: 5 Most Memorable Music Moments


From Dash's Road March victory to a gorgeous steelpan showcase at Panorama, here are the five best music moments of Spicemas 2024

12 acts — Dash, Muddy, Shamak, Super Flying Flint, Cryave, Lil Kerry, Boyzie, Shequan, Walkie Dan, Hitz, Happy Boy and Yung Madd — competed for the title of Power Soca Monarch, which is bestowed upon the winning performer with a song above 135 BPM. Doused in the green, gold, and red of the Grenadian flag and joined by several dancers and moko jumbies, Boyzie’s evocative stage show elicited the most fervent crowd response with hundreds of people yelling the words louder than he did — pouring rain be damned. From the pounding drums of power soca to the gentle trickling of the rain and the harmonious chants and laughter of the revelers of the road, Grenada played mas against a jaw-dropping symphony of sounds: an orchestra of music, sourced from instruments, recordings, the human body itself, and the very land that they danced and marched upon.
