The students of Baruch College's Caribbean Student Association, which is located in the heart of Manhattan, kept their Annual Cultural Night on Friday May 4.

Mason Hall was a sold out venue that featured fashion and dance performances with designers like Miko Underwood, Buba, Carmen Webber, Pela and more who took their styles of urban wear, sexy sophisticated lingerie, survivor and club wear to the runway. In between the fashion show we were entertained with different flavors of Caribbean dance and music.

When Barbados Road march king Rupie entered the stage the massive launched out of their seats to the stage area with their various flags, representing their national pride dancing and singing to his intoxicating sounds.

The headliner for the night was no other than Bounty Killer who entered the stage with his famous black outfit ala Darth Vader. He had the crowd up on their feet with tunes like "Eagle and the Hawk", "Anytime" and had the audience singing word for word during his performance. At the closing of his set he invited one of  the hottest talent on the scene right now, Wayne Marshall to perform a duet on the trilogy rhythm entitled "Smoke Clear".

Overall this was a spectacular event which I hope to see in the years to come.
