Several corporate entities in Paramaribo, Suriname, recently collaborated to celebrate the essence of Caribbean culture with a festive evening of food and music.
Ramps Logistics in a release yesterday stated that together with the well-known Courtyard Marriott Paramaribo, the two pulled off what was referred to as an “unforgettable” evening titled “Caribbean Night: Suriname Fesa”.
The event took place at Marriott Paramaribo’s rooftop on the heels of the Suriname Energy, Oil and Gas Summit 2023. The release described the event as having “a lively atmosphere that immersed attendees in the vibrant Caribbean culture… a celebration of unity, diversity, and the power of collaboration within the region.”
It was explained that the word “Fesa”, means “party” in Suriname which the hosts felt “perfectly encapsulated the electrifying atmosphere of the event,” which brought together industry professionals, partners, and guests both regionally and internationally. Those in attendance enjoyed the experience of “a culinary journey, savoring a fusion of traditional dishes that showcased the diversity and vibrancy of the Caribbean.” The menu which was carefully planned, honoured the region’s culinary heritage, “tantalizing taste buds with a symphony of flavors.”
The beverages were not forgotten, with Caribbean-inspired cocktails featuring the finest spirits from the region as mixologists crafted a range of innovative and classic drinks, and in so doing, created an experience that captured the “essence of the Caribbean.”
And it would not be a Caribbean “Fesa” without music – lots of it. Like a conductor guiding an orchestra, “esteemed” MC Romano Wip reportedly guided the evening’s celebration with “charisma and infectious energy.” According to the release, “His vibrant presence ensured that every moment was infused with liveliness, creating an engaging experience for all in attendance.” The event also featured a “captivating performance” by Guyanese singer, Vicadi Singh. It was stated that he left his audience “spellbound,” while “elevating the dance floor to new heights.”
There was however, a more serious side to the merrymaking. The release noted that the event also served as a platform for networking and relationship-building as industry leaders, dignitaries, and stakeholders, gathered to forge new connections and strengthen existing ones.
Ramps’ Fesa was made possible through collaborations with Expro, Champion X, and El Dorado Offshore and served to exemplify the strength and potential that emerge when Caribbean organizations unite towards a common goal. Further, by pooling resources, expertise, and vision, these partners showcased the remarkable outcomes that can be achieved within the region. According to Ramps Logistics, the Suriname Fesa not only celebrated the achievements and potential of the Caribbean but also emphasized the importance of unity, cultural exchange, and collaboration, the release added.
