–in hometown Point Fortin

DESPITE the high lifestyles of entertainers and celebrities, we often forget that they’re people just like the rest of us. On Wednesday in South Trinidad, Soca artiste and Point Fortin native, Fay Ann Lyons, was honoured by the borough for her contribution to culture, and while the recognition stood tall, the humility of the artiste’s posts to social media showed a different side to her; a side many would more than likely bypass.

Alvarez has always stood unique on the Soca circuit. Her blatant, fearless speech is sometimes misunderstood for aggression. In the heart of it all, Lyons-Alvarez, by all accounts, is a country girl at heart. On Tuesday, even as she was being congratulated for being honoured with the keys to her borough of Point Fortin, Lyons chose to return to her roots, posting a photo of herself with her Secondary School teacher. She said she could not have left the borough without stopping in to say hello. “Could not pass through and not say hi. This wonderful woman taught me in school #MrsBridgemanand I will always remember her poise and strength…. and toughness! That woman was dread, but we all loved her,” she wrote.

Lyons-Alvarez recently returned from the Uber Soca Cruise where she took her vibe, like several other top-notch Soca artistes, to the people. She has already unleashed a couple tracks heading into Carnival 2020, among them, “One Love” with Jaiga, and Grenada’s Lil Natty and Thunda and “Wha Deh Know” on the Nikholai Greene-produced Cubano Riddim, which also features Jamaica’s Konshens.
