The inaugural D’Vibes, has set a new standard for cultural celebration during Lucian Carnival 2025, delivering an unforgettable night that honored the roots, and the rise of Dennery Segment music, Saint Lucia’s original sound.

Held at the National Cultural Centre on Wednesday, July 8, D’Vibe was a concert-style production that showcased the evolution of the genre born in the community of Dennery and now making waves on international stages.

Over 20 Dennery Segment artistes backed by a combination of Saint Lucia’s hottest DJ’s graced the stage. The lineup for the evening included and Bronxx & Mata, Gigi, Chester, Kelly B, Cooyah, L.T., Malfete, Prospere, MKG, Tension Boyz, Subance, Pablo, Kisha, Carlto, Keke, Prado, Dhirv, Blackboy, Motto, Ezra D’FunMachine, Narcisse & Krome, Jardel & Dezral, and Umpa. The artists were back by DJ’s such as JH and Dalo, Cleus, Prostyle, Sir Lancealot, and HP.  

Chairperson of the Carnival Planning and Management Committee (CPMC), Ms. Tamara Gibson, said “D’Vibes embodies two of our most important pillars for Lucian Carnival, inclusivity and cultural development. Dennery Segment is part of our Saint Lucian identity. By giving it this platform during a time where the genre is most critical to our carnival, ensures that we see even more music emerging from the artists throughout the year. By investing in our homegrown talent through shows like this, we ensure that Lucian Carnival maintains its authentic Saint Lucian flavour.”

D’Vibe has certainly secured its place on the annual Lucian Carnival calendar marking a defining moment for the Dennery Segment genre and setting the pace for the week’s events.

The next event on the Lucian Carnival Calendar is the Inter-commercial House Competition, on Thursday, July 10, at the National Cultural Centre from 8pm. 20 Companies will compete in this year’s competition for a chance to secure this year’s title.
