Hidden Gems... something special but isn't out in the open, popular or the norm. My carnival Tuesday plans include quite a few fetes as options. Some were big and popular, some were far west and others far south. In the end I was taken up and in by the invitation to lime with my favorite TJJ rep; text-alcoholic juice. Rumor has it, she like to hold indian boys hands. I don’t know how true that actually is???  That…

Rainy days and Mondays may usually get you down, except for Machel Monday. The staple for the Monday before carnival and an excellent reason to 1. be in Trinidad this early and 2. Be out on a Monday night. Certainly one of the top performers in the world, Machel Montano brings everything that makes him a ...

For those who are going to Trinidad for carnival or not, weeks leading up to Carnival Monday and Tuesday... every weekend you are sure to catch an invitation to a send off party. Well, last weekend was no different, at least for me. I was looking for my 2k12 soca fix to get my adrenaline both charged and drained at the same time. The good news... New York's very own made this one better. It's B2B's Birthday celebration. What more can you ask for in 32 degree Brooklyn weather?

Well as for most or all proper Carnivals, if you actually survive the parade and After Party... there's always a bess beach lime the following day. Cayman Islands happens to have one of the very BEST. Well this lime happens on most weekends, but Batabano Weekend is especially special because of ...

Have you every dreamt of going to a party where the girls are all beautiful, wearing bikini and beads and jamming down de place to sweet sweet Soca? Well peoples... guess what? There's heaven ...

Amazing... the only thing more beautiful then the island is the women and their costumes. And dread.... they wear those costumes well! I think that the idea of a nice sized band (not big, certianly not small) with tonnes of energy and vibes is HERE. The experience that I hoped to get from BLISS Trinidad 2011 was actually here in ...

Carnival Saturday, under the skyes of mosquito-ville. There were no biting in-sects. Well at least they didn't find me :( I will say that I didn't go Valsyn North for Machel... it have other things of interst there and they did not disappoint. Neighbourhood party does bring neighbours.

Usual bachanaal. One word. Mud! Indulge this year gave those looking to have a good time without so too much clean up afterwards an excellent option. Plenty bumsie with no leash.

With the number of Friday night events taking place, it was a pretty decent turnout. Parking lot was full, VIP was full, back stage was full! Lots of Caribbean artists (upcoming, established and washed up) were in the building. We even ran into ...

The early warm up was horrid. I don't recall the name of the sound; actually I don't want to remember the name of the sound. Those boys need to record their sets, play them back and decide if they should pack it in and go pack groceries at HiLo. 4 Words. David Rodigan King Addies. It was everything that you could ...
