A whole lot of vibes at Fusions – Crop Over ignites at Ilaro Court

From the very first steel pan strike and the commanding boom of the drums last Saturday evening, Liberty Business Fusions officially signalled the start that something good was about to happen. Held on the lush grounds of the illustrious Ilaro Court, this showcase was more than a concert—it was an anthem of rhythm, soul, and storytelling, echoing the very spirit of the festival.

Opening the show, Adrian Clarke commanded the stage with ease. He delivered Nice Time with a playful, free-style verse. Supported by a six-piece drum ensemble, Clarke’s call-and-response moments had the crowd’s hands raised high, locked into his every word.

Violinist Dwayne Gill joined powerhouse vocalist Nikita for a stunning duet of Everything Bless. She paused to honour the memory of Alvin “Soca Superman” Toppin—prompting both chills and applause.
