.@MicalTeja & Coutain Celebrate “Riddim” In New Collaboration


Today (January 24), we celebrate 13 years since our first official post on this platform. Thanks to those who have been here from the start, and we look forward to doing even more. We’re also celebrating new music, this time it’s from Trini Acts Mical Teja and Coutain as they share their new collaboration called, “Riddim“.

Co-Produced by Mical Teja, Tano, and Supayouth, “Riddim” is a celebration of the music, and its many forms by Teja and Coutain. Whatever your flavour of music, it is sure to call your name wherever you are, and you have to answer it. Teja and Coutain share melodies throughout, and deliver a song that is bound to ignite something great in you. The accompanying Music Video, directed by Captain Plexx, features two characters who come from different backgrounds and stories, with them being connected by the Riddim that calls them throughout. The video highlights the Steelpan, the Tassa Druma number of Mas characters including the Jab Molassie, the Midnight Robber, the Moko Jumbie, and the Dame Lorraine, and traditional East Indian dance, all of which are a part of Trinidad’s culture, and should be preserved. This visual is for the culture, and should inspire more Artists to tap into their respective cultures. We hope that our readers/viewers tune in to this, and be inspired.

Get Ready For Spicemas With @SlattaMusic’s “Carnival Flu”


Ready to wuk? Ready to have fun? It’s that time again. Grenada looks to turn it up this year at “Spicemas 2023“, so get your things ready. One thing to note however, there is something going around that’s a cause for concern. No it’s not another version of Covid, but according to Grenadian Artist Slatta, it’s a breakout of the “Carnival Flu“!

In this Palm Tree Vybez-directed video, Slatta has caught the “Carnival Flu”, and he’s happy about it. Over sounds by Xpert Productions, the Artist played Mas, and he wasn’t going to stop until he caught the flu. Spicemas will have many catching it, and that’s ok. Just make sure you have your Vitamin C, Vics Rub, Rubbing Alcohol, and Bitters handy. For better results, make sure you have a wining partner. The Carnival Flu is predicted to take over Bajan Crop Over as well, so be prepared.

Taking it to another Caribbean Island this Oldies Sunday. The selection comes from Trinidadian artist, David Rudder. Titled “High Mas (Give Praise)” and produced by JW Productions in 1998, Rudder brought the church to the Mas (Masquerade). With great backup vocals and a energetic Calypso production, the song was done as a prayer asking for guidance during the Carnival season in Trinidad & Tobago.
