Filled with colour, gems, feathers, and of course soca music, Gen X band launch took place at the AC Hotel Kingston on Monday. With a total of eight sections, under the theme ‘Return To Paradise’, we think it’s safe to say Carnival 2023 will be scorching. Something Extra was in attendance to bring you the highlights.
