Inside the arena, the theme park was transformed into a full blown Caribbean carnival, complete with masquerade costumes, body paint, and the lively 'powder posse' known to throw powder and water around the crowd to cool off the often overheated carnival revelers. Kevin Lyttle delivered a well-received set, capping off his performance with his 2004 Billboard topping single "Turn Me On." Well-known Soca veteran Iwer George, dressed in Trinidad's signature red, black, and white colors, showed Great Adventure that he was "The Boss" with a high energy performance, pulling hits from his twenty-year reign as one of the island's most celebrated Soca performers. Capping off his performance with the aptly titled latest hit "We Like It," Iwer gave one of the evening's best performances. ![]() Fayann Lyons shows the Six Flags Great Adventure audience how to 'whine' Caribbean style at the Six Flags Caribbean Summer Concert Series on July 11th (photo credit: Islandmix.com) Internationally acclaimed Soca artist Rupee, and Antiguan band Burning Flames, both of whom were slated to perform, were not present. CCB International Operations director Hector Carter, attributes both non-appearances to the artists, stating that: "Rupert Clarke, known to most by his stage name Rupee, and Burning Flames decided not to attend the event, despite being contractually bound to perform. CCB International is in the process of dealing with this breach of contract. On behalf of CCB, we apologize to our patrons for their non-appearance, as they were advertised as part of the line-up."
