Barack The Magnificent

I guess most of my readers would vote for Barack in the US election if they had the chance. So would i but i still belive he wont have a change, nor will Hillery.
When they go at eachother Mr Caine will have ampel of time to make a good campain for the real election. Over here they report so much you could think that the election between Hillery and Barack is the final one.

Well i really really hope that Barack would win, i cant see any of the other candidates as a winner...

And so does Mighty Sparrow. With this calypso song he makes a statement: Barack The Magnificent.

Ragga need no more introduction. Here he is together with Daria on the tune,
"Am Not Leavin".

Ragga Ft Daria - Am Not Leavin

Ease The Frustration

When soca artist do reggae its always struggle songs. Do they see soca as the joy-ful part of life and reggae for the hard times? I dont know, but here we have another one.
This is by Skhi, the legend who did the wonderful song Disire (Click here for video). I guess he sings of Trinidad, a country that has as many murders a year as days, and that on a population of 1.5 million or so... ;(
The tune is a real rocker thou, Listen here:

Two New Reggae Tunes

First out we have Skarpyonon the Cornerstone Riddim with the tune "Hard Times".
Skarpyon had a big hit last year with the song "Turn the lights down low". Its a soca/rnb song that even got radio play on the Swedish radio! Ill think the tune was on some kind of VA record..

Well this tune is about the struggle 1 000 000 000 people face everyday. Some nice lyrics, but i think the riddim it self dont sound fat, a little bit to midi computer.
Have a listen yourself here:


Skarpyon - Hard Times
Download here.


Next out is Ragga. Ragga has had some real real big groovy soca tunes, and still droping real hot stuff. I'll post a groovy soca track with him a little later.

This tune is a real bad reggae song and get mad pullups here home... ;)
It's called "Where Have You Gone". The sound is more soft on this one.
Listen here:

Ragga - Where Have You Gone

Big up to the artists!!!

KMC is vex...

...well he got some right,
Watch youself;


And this good comment comes from Trinidadianbouy who said...

I live in Trinidad and Tobago, Woodbrook to be exact and I’m so feed up of all the Politics in the SOCA music in Trinidad, that’s what made me get out of the Radio Business.

Especially when Soca Monarch and the feting comes around. Now 2008 results was not a surprise to me, everyone’s talking about the nonsense that goes on every year, where artist are not judged on Merit but by who they want to give it at the time and who pays the most money to get there music played on heavy rotation “Payola”.

Bunji and his wife could sing nonsense like this year 2008 because they radio spots are guaranteed and these artist are given an Itinerary of all the fetes they have to appear in advance from promoters, before they even record songs for the season around September/October.

Also when they do drop off there track its instantly put on constant rotation, just like what Machel is doing currently, passing a lot of money to the Radio D.js, so when you hear a new Machel/Bunji/KMC track appearing every week on constant Rotation you know why. Do you really believe its being played because of its lyrical content or because it’s good?

Machel, don’t get me wrong I don’t mind hearing his music because the guy is really good, But when I see young artist approaching me asking why there not hearing there music played which I might add is very very good production wise, even 100 times better than the big artists, I am almost tempted to tell them they have to pay the big bucks, but how could I, what would be my faith? At the station and my safety with these criminals, I would be black listed and I would have no means of making a living on the music scene in My country.

Imagine Bands are given an Itinerary months before carnival, like around sept/oct of fetes they have to appear in, no matter what they sing. The Paul Richards and the Tony Chow Lin on “Chinese Laundry 96.1” Lets hope will no longer control what is to be made a hit or not and what is to be played because who “doh like who etc”

Now with the Added Radio stations in Trinidad, hey we could only hope, that all this miraculously comes to and end, but thank God I’m out of all this mess anyway.

I have a Good job and doing well at my new job Leaving all that darkness behind was the best I had ever done, all that money at Carnival time that was being passed was tempting but I have a conscience I’m really sorry for the music scene in Trinidad and Tobago and the poor and upcoming artist that work so hard and save to record there music.

Give me your oppion of the soca business, Leave a comment!
