    (3) Candice Gabriel from Brooklyn, NY. I'm a dark-skinned, pisces-cutey, with talents and mad skills, born of Trini parents, and raised in New York. I'm working towards a Masters degree in Social work, so in three years look for me in A.C.S. being an advocate and helping children who can't speak for themselves. I'm a friend to everyone and if you don't like me; you have a problem with your own self! Some say I'm a white-girl trapped in a black-girl body, but you have to know me to judge that. I would like to wish everyone logging on to Trini Jungle Juice all the very best.

    (3) Maria Victoria Malela from Bordeaux, France. I'm a 22-year-old student currently living in France. I'm fascinated by the Caribbean culture, especially since I've been to the islands several times. I listen to various types of music, but share the opinion (like most Soca fans), that there is just something about Soca music that makes you want to jump and wave and get in a frenzy, where you forget about everything else all together!! That's also why I like TriniJungleJuice.com, because you guys simply share the best with us, whether it's Carnival or fetes! So no matter where we are in the world, we could still get that little and genuine piece of the islands. Thank you!!

May/June'07 - Bunji Garlin "Global" CD Give-A-Way Contest

  • Trivia Quiz: Which Soca artist is Bunji Garlin married to? The correct answer is Fay Ann Lyons!
  • Contest Winner(s):
    (1) Renee Dottin from Miami Grdns, Florida. New Jersey born, but was instilled with the Trini culture from birth from both of my Trini parents. Bunji Garlin is one of my favorite soca artists. I actually saw him perform about two weeks ago, when he came into town to record for his new video. I learned about TriniJungleJuice.com from my sister. My birthday is the 8th of June so this is a great birthday gift. Thank you very much.
    (2) Cherryl Koylass from Toronto, Canada. My background is homegrown Trini through and through. I honestly cannot remember how I found the TJJ website – probably through aimless internet browsing – but I love the site, I love the newsletter. TJJ has some of the best photos from fetes and Trinidad Carnival – respect to your photographer(s). I’m a hopeless soca music lover. I first saw Bunji do his thing live at Jamboree back in 2000 or 2001; I became an instant fan. Thanks again, TJJ. Keep up the good work!
    (3) Zakiya Francois from Washington DC. I'm originally from Belmont, Trinidad and I always used to log onto TriniJungleJuice, ever since I left Trinidad exactly a yr ago. Bunji is definitely one of my favourite artistes of all time and I knew I had to get this Album. What a coincidence as just the night before I had a dream asking Bunji for the album and also after meeting him at DC Carnival. I'm sooo happy!!!!!!! I love TriniJungleJuice, especially as I was away for Carnival 2k7 for the first time and it was my main source of all the Carnival tunes and also the local Reggae and Chutney. I'm a lover of music, any type especially we music! Because of TriniJungleJuice, I was able to keep in touch with Trini music away from home and if TriniJungleJuice can do it for me, it can for you! Much love :) BRRTTTTTT!!!!!

I am sure, that Soca and Dancehall will find its way to central Europeans, like Reggaeton has recently done. Thanx a lot and good luck in dispensing the nice chunes from TnT and other Caribbean islands!"
