Soca artiste, Destra Garcia, is back home in Trinidad and Tobago recovering from an ankle injury she recently sustained during a performance in Bermuda last week.

Garcia underwent surgery at the St Clair Medical Hospital over the weekend.

In a message to fans on social media, the Queen of Bacchanal, assured them she was on the road to recovery and would rebound “badda” than ever.

Could have been worse

“Could have been worse…I’m OK…I’m on the road to recovery you guys! It’s been a crazy 72 hrs. I want to thank everyone who kept me in their prayers – fans, friends and colleagues – during this time; all your love and messages of a speedy recovery kept me strong. Thanks for reminding me how tough I was when I needed to hear it the most,” Destra said.

“It’s only up from here tho…I’m stronger than a lion…Yuh can’t keep a good woman down lol…well…not for long!”

Last Wednesday, while performing at the Cup Match Summer Splash event in Hamilton, Garcia was walking forward and talking to the crowd when she fell off the stage and sustained a broken ankle.
