I never got tierd of hearing the top songs that was born in the year I was jumping up. It was only last year I witnessed this phenomenna. Trust me I was a huge fan of Congo Man, Jumbine etc..but this year its all about...Meet Super Blue, Simply Everthing, We Own, Thunder, Bubbling Gal, Bum Bum Ville...etc!!!!! Let go of the old for Carnival..trust me you won't be disappointed

I too have been going to Carnival for yearsssss (far from a newbie) and been playing mas since my first year back to Trini Carnival as an adult ('97). I hear what you saying about loving the new music, cause now if I go a party and they play '08 or even '07 music I will stand up and/or get vex because I am only on new music mode.
But on the road & in fetes. I want a mixture...especially in a fete. I love when the djs plays during the band sets and ideally a dj should play '09 songs that the band just didn't spend 45mins to 1 hour performing. But we are not that lucky. A band will come off the stage and the dj will pay back all the bands 2009 music...like I JUST HEARD THAT. For example, if Shurwayne just came off teh stage and MASH UP...me as a dj will probably come on and play "Dead or Alive" from 2005 or even some 'Carnival Survivors' by Machel & Wyclef.
In a perfect world, the djs will ALL play different music and you will get to enjoy what 2009 really have to offer. But in our reality on the road and in fetes, djs WILL play the same TOP 40 songs over and over.  |
