The unstoppable force that is Trinidad and Tobago’s 2010 Carnival season has indeed picked up a rapid pace. Excitement builds every weekend as those two glorious days of masquerading quickly approach.
In a season where so many cooler fetes, concerts and all-inclusive fetes flood the calendar of events, the average party goer has to be cautious in choosing the highest value for money amongst the various parties offered per weekend. However, if one asks many local Carnival enthusiasts, they would say that there may be 100 party options but there is only “One Fete”.
This year’s edition of WITCO’s ultra-inclusive Carnival experience proved to be the best bet for quality feting on this weekend in Trinidad. By no means did the producers of “One Fete”, Ultimate Events (a division of the Mas band Tribe) put on a simple party promotion, they executed a full scale, smooth flowing major production that basically kick-started this festive season for many Soca-Holics.
DancehallSoca.com was front and centre to take in the action and excitement as the Queen’s Park Oval glistened with the Euphoria of Carnival and as some of Soca’s finest entertainers took to the stage to rock the capacity crowd. Read More
Mr. Vegas recently tweeted-it is official, he has been banned from performing in Grenada. Vegas utilized Twitter to voice his disapproval of the Grenadian government decision to ban him.
Vegas stated that he was banned because he performed his tune "She is a Ho", two years ago while in Grenada-"I performed this song numerous times" stated Vegas. He added, "for the government to say disrespect the women of that country is the silliest excuse". "If a gal take two man in one night she is a ho", is a line from the tune. This begs to ask the ongoing question of whether or not censorship has gone too far.Read More
Soca music fans and music lovers worldwide who want to experience the very best in Caribbean music will revel in the latest album release from the genre's most celebrated artiste, Machel Montano, titled ALBUM 34. The prodigiously gifted Trinidadian, whose debut vinyl album Too Young To Soca arrived in record shops in 1985, has once again created a magical brew of sweet soca rhythms on this, his 34th career release. ALBUM 34 is now available throughout Trinidad & Tobago, with worldwide distribution scheduled for later this month.
NEW MUSIC
Fans have come to expect from Montano a rich array of hit songs every year, jam-packed with explosive, driving rhythms that he produces for Trinidad & Tobago's Carnival celebrations. Surely this new batch of 15 tracks comprising ALBUM 34 will not disappoint his vast legion of followers - in T&T and throughout the Caribbean Diaspora - and its many gems are bound to attract many new listeners as well.
One of the new songs presently heating up the airwaves and blasting at every Carnival fete in Trinidad is "No Behavior," a fast-paced, volatile soca track with Montano's trademark style that every soca fan instantly recognises. The artiste urges everyone to "get behind the big truck...start jumpin' up, start waving up!" Next up is a groovy soca number, a song infused with a romantic vibe and a gentle rhythm called "Slow Wine."read more
Not all tweeters are created equal, Twitter is currently surging with Caribbean celebs, business persons, and the likes. I have no scientific basis for this. However, I will state it anyway-those who twitter the most tend to promote themselves well-the more useful and informative their tweets are, the more followers they will have. We (Caribbean Lifestyle Media) recently signed on with Sponsored tweets to monetize our tweets (I will discuss this further in another post)-Twitter is fast becoming a hub for Caribbean Talents.
Useful tweets
The most useful tweets provide insight into new music, new information, breaking news, the latest buzz, and periodically a perspective of a person you may not normally know. Let's be honest, I may never become best friends with most of the persons who follow us. However, the followers can connect with information they might not normally have-in real time.read more
