With Bunji Garlin's hit Carnival Tabanca behind its name, Tabanca Tuesdays is surely giving socaphiles, young, old and in between, a chance to reawaken their inner reveller early into the 2014 carnival season.

The night skies provided a contrasting backdrop to the serene white lights that lit up the CRU Bar and Kitchen on Lady Musgrave Road, while soca music filled the air as Today took to the second staging of Tabanca Tuesdays, held on Tuesday night.

One of the directors of Sun Nation, Andrew Bellamy, told Today that Tabanca Tuesdays, which is being put on in association with CPJ, is held every second Tuesday of every month to give socaphiles the chance to learn the 2014 soca hits and prepare for the upcoming events of the season. "Tabanca Tuesdays was put on so that persons can get the chance to hear new soca songs in a good, clean and premium setting," Bellamy revealed to us.

Patrons were out in their numbers dancing and gyrating all night to the sweet sounds of DJ Smoke and DJ Richie Ras. Both deejays demonstrated their talent as they stirred and swayed the crowd at every turn with popular soca hits for this year.

Just in case you have missed the first two stagings, be sure to look out for the other events on March 11, April 8 and April 22.
