HANDEL’s LARGO , AND A CLASH OF STEELBANDS!

That infamous steelband clash on the Coffee! In the nineteen sixties, Southern Marines Steelband of Marabella was the classic community band; at carnival just about everyone in the community was involved and band was also supported by the local craftsmen and businessmen. The panyard was a busy place on Sundays before carnival; after the well attended practice sessions masqueraders were being…

Something I think should be in our media and a part of early school’s history classes .

.

.

.

.

“Canboulay is a celebration of resistance and emancipation which re-enacted the days when enslaved Africans were driven with cracking whips to put out fire on sugarcane plantations.”

We are a people that have a powerful history.

Carnival is not evil. It is not “devil thing” .

It is a part of our rich heritage … it speaks to the freedom we all fight for & a celebration of how far we’ve come.

Okay, I know the episodes of MACO SOCA are long lol so here's a special clip from our latest episode!

Elikya Ngoma and I talk about the reggae fusion and dancehall wave of the 2000s, and what it meant for Caribbean culture to go "mainstream" in America.

We highlight Destra Garcia's "Max It Up" as an example of how Trinidad soca artists want success on the American charts and award shows.

This is a GREAT conversation about Caribbean identity!

Childhood Memories!

Memories! At my age certain memories still cause me to smile, and some of my memories also include my dad, who In my mind was a bit of a character himself. Today I had one such memory that I thought I might share it. When I was a boy we moved from San Fernando to New Grant in the country to facilitate my dad who worked in the oil fields on a crew of men also referred to as “roughnecks “.At…
