Trinidad and Tobago soca veteran Denise “Saucy Wow” Belfon has been honoured with a New York City proclamation recognising her longstanding contribution to soca music and Caribbean culture. The recognition comes ahead of Trinidad and Tobago’s 64th Independence Day, which will be celebrated on August 31.
