Re: Dub on carnival tuesday
you heard that in your section? who was your dj? whoever it is should be ashamed I think the entire carnival SEASON SHOULD BE ALL SOCA DAMMIT reggae, hiphop or r&b should be banned during the carnival season. I think any dj or live band caught playing anything other than soca should have to pay a fine ![]() |

Re: Dub on carnival tuesday
Since Trinidad is going to MARKET itself as a TOURISM destination, I am sure adding these elements to its carnival can only help. We're living in a GLOBAL economy, so we have to OPEN up our countries to other ELEMENTS that are not EXCLUSIVELY ours. Just like how America was not receptive to INTERRACIAL marriage, surely we can move PAST this thinking that SOCA should only be EXCLUSIVE to carnival. I am in favor of adding other Caribbean cultures to carnival. |

Re: Re: Dub on carnival tuesday
But this is TRINIDAD CARNIVAL, why should we have to compromise our indigenous (sp?) aspects of carnival to cater to foreigners? We had 49,000 visitors (not including Trini expats) the largest so far without having to compromise anything. Why should we start now. Trinidad is the home of Calypso, Soca and Steelpan. I'm sure Brazil don't play anything other than Samba and New Orleans have their Zydeco, do you see them adding Soca or Reggae to thier festivals? Don't get me wrong, I like all kinds of music but Carnival time is the only time you get to hear Soca in all it's glory after Ash Wednesday that's all but gone until Boxing Day.
