Building on a landmark year for Grenadian music and growing international appetite for authentic Caribbean culture, the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) is marking the successful conclusion of its strategic cultural mission during the 2026 Trinidad Carnival season.
GTA said on Monday, March 2, that the initiative was centered on a high-profile partnership with regional entertainment powerhouse Caesar’s Army, featuring a dynamic delegation of Grenadian talent, including V’ghn, Lil Kerry, Dread Lion, and DJ Kevin Crown.
GTA said the artistes delivered “commanding performances” at signature events AMBeach and AMBush, where the Grenada Jab Jab Truck served as a “powerful cultural statement.
“The immersive, percussive showcase brought the raw energy and unmistakable identity of Spicemas directly to thousands of regional and international revelers,” GTA said.
Leading the on-the-ground activations, Samantha Thomas, Marketing Executive at the GTA, spoke to the powerful resonance of Grenada’s culture among the festive crowds.
“An incredible energy can be felt when the authentic Grenadian spirit enters these creative spaces; you see the shift in the crowd’s reactions,” she said.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our music and culture to be showcased to thousands of people and remind everyone that the soul of the experience is waiting for them in Grenada this August,” Thomas added.

Beyond the event stage, she said the mission extended to regional media platforms, where tourism officials leveraged live radio engagements and broadcast opportunities to position Grenada as a premier destination known for its culinary excellence, eco-leisure offerings, and restorative wellness experiences.
Thomas said the initiative forms part of the GTA’s broader approach to cultural tourism, designed to convert the global popularity of Grenadian music into measurable destination awareness and increased visitor interest ahead of the upcoming Spicemas season.
“Our artistes have once again proven to be one of our most effective cultural ambassadors,” said Tornia Charles, GTA chief marketing officer. “This partnership with Caesar’s Army reflects our broader strategy to integrate culture and tourism.
“The region is our second largest source market with Trinidad & Tobago being the lead for the region,” she added. “With that in mind, our goal was to protect the market share and ensure that Grenada’s unique identity continues to resonate with regional audiences, delivering direct economic benefits to the people of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.”
GTA said it will continue to build on this momentum through targeted cultural activations and regional engagements throughout the year.
