Machel Montano Live... Party of the year!

Saturday, May 31

at 6:00pm - 3:00am

Machel Montano är Trinidads och socamusikens superstjärna nummer ett.
Han debuterade redan som nioåring 1984 och har fram till idag gjort 28 album och bland annat sålt ut Madison Square Garden tre gånger. Han har spelat in skivor med Beenie Man, Busta Rhymes, Pitbull, Lil Jon och spelade alldeles nyligen in en låt med Major Lazer och Diplo - "Sound Bang". I år gjorde han den låt som spelades mest under karnevalen på Trinidad och som följaktligen blev årets "road march" - "Ministry of Road". Andra låtar som dominerat socascenen genom åren är bland andra "Advantage", "The Fog" och "Big Truck" och "Mr Fete" - vilket är exakt vad Machel är. Det är på scen som han verkligen kommer till sin rätt och och Uncle Eric Entertainment och Sthlm Reggae Klubb är hur stolta som helst över att kunna presentera vad som kommer att bli ett av årets bästa partyn.
Efter konserten, som börjar 21.30 sharp, tar Uncle Eric Malm Barracuda med Thomas Gylling Mosquito, Soca Dennis, Sthlm Reggae Klubb och City Lock Sound över partyt.

Entré 250 kr

Best of Carriacou Carnival music 2014

This year I visit Carriacou Carnival in Grenada instead of the usually Trinidad Carnival. I have gone to Trinidad 6 times and wanted something different. Trinidad have really good music but unfortunately very few song get played intensely during the carnival. Its is also very hard for a new artist to break into the scene in Trinidad. That and also the fact that its more and more "dance" music being played during carnival. For example popular house music and Top 40. I like myself techno, but I don't go around the world just to hear what i can hear at my local disco. I'm coming for the soca!

This was no problem in Carriacou. They are extreme patriotic and just playing the songs from the current year and whats released for the carnival. This is my personal selection of what I thought was best.

Enjoy!

We start with a video from the festivities, as you can see its very different from TNT. The island is very small and country side and only have a population of 8000 people. During carnival a lot of Grenadians come over so I guess is more the double then.

Carriacou Carnival 2014 Road March:

Here is the Groovy Monarch for 2014:

and the Power Monarch:

And here we just continue with good music released for Carriacou Carnival 2014, in no particular order.
