The first-ever performance of the new duet ‘Bacchanal Mode’ by soca queen Patrice Roberts and National Freestyle Champion Akeem ‘Preedy’ Chance became the highlight of Preedy’s Acoustic Experience event on November 2 in St Clair. The intimate backyard venue, chosen for its lush ambiance, was filled with hundreds of patrons who were treated to an unforgettable evening of music and celebration. Roberts made a surprise appearance, joining Preedy on stage just after 9 pm, elevating the event to new heights of excitement and satisfaction. The duo’s performance, despite being a debut, was described as surreal and nostalgic, with Preedy reflecting on his journey as an artist. The event also featured opening acts by Aaron Duncan, Kimba Sorzano, and Tevin Hartman, who set the stage for Preedy’s grand entrance around 8 pm. Preedy, known for his charisma and vocal prowess, captivated the audience for over two hours, weaving musical stories and interacting passionately with fans. The night was further enhanced by performances from Kimi, reggae icon Isasha, and Freetown Collective, with music by Temperature The Band and chorale accompaniment by Armonias Magnificas. Roberts praised Preedy for his determination and growth, expressing pride in his achievements. The event also featured refreshing cocktails by HybridTT and delectable nibbles by Cup of Joe Cafe, with hosts Jynnyn and Akeem 5.0 keeping the entertainment flowing. International culture journalist Jeanette ‘JLova’ Mitchell highlighted Preedy’s role in cultural preservation and his growing artistry. ‘Bacchanal Mode,’ the song and music video, was released earlier this week, marking the beginning of a vibrant Trinidad Carnival season and an exciting 2026.
