Ladies were ser­e­nad­ed and cel­e­brat­ed all night long in Clifton Hill, Point Fortin, as ZZAG­GAA Fam­i­ly host­ed its 2026 Woman Is Boss event last Wednes­day.

Themed around The Red Rose, many at­ten­dees fol­lowed suit by show­ing off all-red en­sem­bles, while oth­ers opt­ed for just a touch of the colour.

Whether it was an aim to seek warmth from the cool breeze from the near­by sea­side, or just pure love, many cou­ples—and friend groups alike—em­braced each oth­er and re­mained in­ter­twined as the DJ played their favourite love songs.

When it came to live per­for­mances, the cast in­clud­ed a mix of women and ladies’ men.

Kick­ing things off was Tish Of­fi­cial, who per­formed some of her orig­i­nal songs along with cov­ers of pop­u­lar lo­cal tunes. Pa­trons moved clos­er to the stage­front to cheer her on and get the show start­ed.

Tri­ni Ba­by was up next, joined by two en­er­getic back­up dancers, as she per­formed her pop­u­lar song Sweet Mu­sic—a col­lab­o­ra­tion with Aaron “Voice” St Louis. She al­so sang Wickedest Wine and Bad Girls Love Mon­ey.

The crowd be­gan mov­ing even more when reign­ing Ca­lyp­so Monarch Ter­ri Lyons com­mand­ed the stage. Some even be­gan shout­ing song re­quests. Her setlist in­clud­ed her 2021 hit Fling Bam Bam, Obeah, as well as her Ca­lyp­so Monarch-win­ning tune, Bless­ing.

Up next was the first ladies’ man of the night as Chris­to ran on stage singing his 2026 hit Doux Doux Dar­lin—and the au­di­ence made sure they sang it word-for-word. “You sound beau­ti­ful,” he told them as he rocked back and smiled in awe. He lat­er joined the cheer­ing fans off-stage to sing Red Gyal and So­ca Feel­ing (Push Back). Old and young grooved along as he filled the court­yard with smooth vo­cals.

Yung Bred­da kept the mo­men­tum go­ing, de­liv­er­ing hit af­ter hit—from The Great­est Bend Over and Inch by Inch, to Feel It and Tram­po­line. The ladies could not stop danc­ing through­out his per­for­mance. “Yuh have to come good when it comes to women, you know,” he teased. “You have to come with house and land and car and (put) at least over $250,000 in she ac­count. You have to come good,” he added as the crowd laughed. And when there was a brief pause in the mu­sic, he as­sured, “We are on­ly just get­ting start­ed.”

Clos­ing off the night was Bar­ba­di­an dance­hall artiste Mas­taa T as he made his de­but T&T live per­for­mance. His hit song Tea Tea re­cent­ly be­came the most-lis­tened-to song on Ap­ple Mu­sic in T&T, and the crowd re­mind­ed him why. In fact, a fan even joined him on stage and sang along with him, with her vo­cals leav­ing the artiste’s team amazed. He per­formed oth­er songs like Noo Cat Fish­ing, as well as his lat­est sin­gle, Crop Hot.

Among the at­ten­dees were Point Fortin May­or Clyde James, as well as a num­ber of al­der­men from the Bor­ough Cor­po­ra­tion, in­clud­ing Bryana For­tune-John and Kobe Sandy.

But even af­ter all artistes had graced the stage, many stayed back to con­tin­ue en­joy­ing the vibes with the DJs. The event on­ly end­ed up of­fi­cial­ly end­ing some­time af­ter 6 AM on Thurs­day.

Many pa­trons said they had a great time and are look­ing for­ward to next year’s stag­ing of the event.
