All of Tribe’s bands have launched, but the buzz surrounding Lost Tribe is drowning out the others. Riddim looks great and they may get my money for Carnival 2017. We’ll see. Look at the costumes, or register, here.

K2K Alliance 2017 Collection is called At The Helm. They are launching in September and I can not wait. The audio preview can here heard here.
