It has been over 20 years since Destra Garcia and Machel Montano released their classic "Carnival." In this segment of Maco Soca, Elikya Ngoma and I talk about what makes the song a hit around the world!

Every year we Trinbagonians create the delicate shifting balance between celebrating Christmas and getting ready for Carnival.

40Yrs of MachelMontano @Barclays, 9/5/22!
Tumblr media
Where do I begin? Maybe this should really be that time, I remind myself of the 1st time we saw a young Machel Montano capture the live & television audience in 1986, who witnessed greatness when he pumped, "Too Young to Soca"!
youtube
Fast fwd 👉🏾 to Sept. 5th, 2022 -- past countless of his hit records, several stages he performed all over the globe, dozens of Trinidad carnivals (including scores of carnivals outside of TnT), multiple wars between rival artists, awards upon awards, plenty woman in the mix, and even living outside of Trinidad, 'Double-M' had one of his recent dreams come true: sell-out the Brooklyn Barclays Center.

Check ✔️- mission accomplished! In fact, mission exceeded. Near the end of the show, a drenched Machel -- calm and emotionally humbled, spoke to the audience about his team making special arrangements to accommodate about 100 extra tickets. The Labor Day long weekend was so fitting, as NYC hosts one of the world's biggest carnivals outside of Trinidad & Tobago's, and Brazil's 'Rio', of course.
Tumblr media
Machel made sure of it that, celebrating 40yrs of his music, included the next generation of soca artists and others featured throughout his concert. It was epic.
Tumblr media
Such an onslaught: Bunji Garlin, Lyrikal, Fay-Ann Lyons, Voice, Kerwin Dubois, Skinny Fabulous, Nadia Batson, Angela Hunte, Patrice Roberts, to Wyclef Jean, Ding Dong, and tons more.
Tumblr media
I know I'm leaving out tons, but I'm already exhausted rethinking the many different Caribbean flags waving from nosebleed seats, to the layers of folks determined to wine, grind & jump up from their positions on the floor area.
Tumblr media
'MM40' was a fantastic way for the entire city of New York to celebrate the West Indian culture, with so much history especially in Brooklyn, 2yrs after a massive shutdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. WE really felt the spirit of Machel Montano, through his songs.
Tumblr media
However, some felt the growth of soca music throughout the years, identifying with newer artists, collaborating with different genres and acknowledging a once-resistant adaptability to listeners outside of the Caribbean. 'Mr. Fete', poetic to "New York, New York", you did it your way. Congrats, thank you, welcome and hopefully not goodbye (just yet) -- but you've def arrived.

New Video: The Legendary Calypso Rose Teams up with Carlos Santana and The Garifuna Collective on "Watina" @CalypsoRoseDiva @SantanaCarlos @garifunacoll @becausemusic @grandstandhq @shazi_la
Born Linda McCartha Monica Sandy-Lewis in Bethel Village, Tobago, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to a religious, fisherman father and a stay-at-home mother, the legendary Calypso Rose first started writing her own songs when she was 13. In the 1960s, the Mother of Calypso emerged as the epitome of Caribbean music: Her first commercial successes included 1966’s “Fire In Me Wire,” which she…
