- 1:18Speaker 2: It seems like nobody is interested to carry on.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Well, this time it's like a wooden shank after a storm.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Not a banner nor a mask is wrong to perform.
- 1:46Speaker 2: All I can see is some broken old button.

- 2:58Speaker 2: I would like to know.
- 3:04Speaker 3: The sweet, sweet saxophone, the pan and the trombone, and so what is wrong, like the tourists, and all disappear.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Not a clown, no love, but NPC anywhere.
- 3:29Speaker 2: And yet this song doesn't have a drum or a bass, a guitar.
- 3:37Speaker 4: An indication in Canapal is the one has a mole, step five You're going to like this Step six.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Welcome back to everybody who's been listening.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
- 4:13Speaker 1: First and foremost, kanaval Rap Up.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Right, I can't do it like how Chromatix and Myron B does do it, right.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But if you get a chance, I mean, I didn't hear Kanaval Rap Up from Chromatix, did I?
- 4:23Speaker 1: But Myron B do a Kanaval Rap Up.
- 4:26Speaker 1: That was superb.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You had a CD video.
- 4:28Speaker 1: That is not something you could take in audio alone of you know the great Myron B Calypso night, the really great sex tempo man we have.
- 4:34Speaker 1: You do a Kanaval Rap Up with some video and so on.
- 4:37Speaker 1: You had to see that for yourself, right?
- 4:39Speaker 1: But I will give my own little Kanaval Rap Up, right, marshall Win, as a matter of fact, marshall Win and I shall play this song again.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I shall play this song again because I talk a lot of mess about that song, right?
- 4:53Speaker 1: But anybody who was watching the final or the Dimash Graf Final, it could be hard to say what was it going to say?
- 5:01Speaker 1: The teeth, and they gave Marshall the crown, or what was he planned.
- 5:04Speaker 1: All the performances, each one individually, is up on YouTube.
- 5:08Speaker 1: You could go and search YouTube and find any one of the performances you want.
- 5:12Speaker 1: So I want you to check who you talked with a win right, who yours back into win or who you talked with a win or what, and then check back Marshall performance right and let me know how all of you find it go right.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Should I find you rubric for all of you with the judging and so on, because that's an all cause a little bit of problems, like people may not have known what the rubric was for judging right, so that might have them in a little bit of the vex become Marshall.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I feel it has some people who, no matter what had happened, they would have said Marshall didn't deserve to win.
- 5:44Speaker 1: So it shifts slightly from Marshall didn't deserve to win Towards.
- 5:49Speaker 1: He say he was in school and he say he wasn't going to be performing.
- 5:51Speaker 1: So we come and take the thing from before.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I kind of like the argument by that Marshall is a so come on and he shouldn't sing Caleb.
- 6:03Speaker 1: So I like that a lot, that it clearly shows that nobody listened to the actual lyrics of the song he was singing or the performance and all that went into it.
- 6:10Speaker 1: But the man come good.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I say a lot about Marshall Montano.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I say a lot about the song about talk.
- 6:17Speaker 1: It's all how, but I want to.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I just want to remind everybody that I also have to say after the semifinal that while you might say is a primary school song and I will get more into that primary school song and why I say so right, while you might say is a primary school song, a very simple song and a basic melody, the lyrics wasn't really basic.
- 6:38Speaker 1: The lyrics was pretty well put together and well delivered.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Marshall going and delivered a song, well, he could do that and I'll eat back plenty words here.
- 6:46Speaker 1: You know more than I eat back last week because I always used to say like Marshall, can I sing again?
- 6:50Speaker 1: And like he say, even he voice, with all them backing track.
- 6:52Speaker 1: But when the man had no backing track, his vocals and I hear people say Marshall was off key and he wasn't the only beat, I'm not sure what which performance them watch, because I was all here.
- 7:01Speaker 1: I thought Karen Ashe, with a windy road, calypso Monagre, right, she had a song that was worth.
- 7:06Speaker 1: When I see I was following Lysana Leibold tweets on Facebook during the competition and he was saying some of these songs, he didn't agree with his sentiment to the song.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I think it was.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Karen Ashe was one that poverty and no excuse for crime and I understand where you, coming from people.
- 7:23Speaker 1: That argument is go back and forth right, because I mean poverty is not an excuse for crime, but it could let some people of the hook in terms of their decision making that might perpetuate poverty and so on and say that well, but your poor, there is no excuse for crime still.
- 7:38Speaker 1: So, I understand that sentiment, but it's not about how you feel about the song and how you feel about the angle they take or so right, what they have here is a rubric.
- 7:47Speaker 1: When I say rubric, like how they score the competition right, lyrics is dirty.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I feel like if you listen to Marshall's song which we will have another opportunity to listen to now he will get very close to dirty there.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Oh, let me put it this way there's nobody in the competition who could get more for lyrics than Marshall on the night right, even if he can get dirty.
- 8:07Speaker 1: If 28 was the maximum anybody get, he will get 28.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Appetite Kirt Allen, they are 28 too.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Appetite Karen Ashe.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Up, they are 28,.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Chucky, this would be a very difficult competition to separate anybody.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I try my best to see if I could reach out to Mariahs before I record this, but I would love to see the actual score sheet because I could bet money.
- 8:29Speaker 1: That is not much distance between spot 1 and 2.
- 8:33Speaker 1: The people who come first and second will be really close together, so I'll be surprised that people feel there was nothing beating them on lyrics.
- 8:44Speaker 1: People could have old school him in melody, particularly Karen Ashe, probably Mikal Tejo, a few others.
- 8:52Speaker 1: He has some men, well even Chucky could have beat him on melody Rendition.
- 8:58Speaker 1: You probably in beat him on rendition either.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Rendition have to do with how you deliver the Calypso, not what behind here, not the trend running wrong Presentation will cover that on originality would be another 10 points.
- 9:08Speaker 1: To me, the man is the king of the Calypso.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I think at this point he is probably the king of this genre, the art form, because now it's on nothing he can win it's.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I think he Tiefan win too, or they help him and they push him to win, but I think every one of them compositions he also win fair and square, including the Calypso monag this year.
- 9:26Speaker 1: My biggest question is what y'all think All I think Marshall gonna come back and defend the crown or you gonna just leave it alone.
- 9:33Speaker 1: You know what he says to do next year.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Nothing there to say he go one to write a Calypso next year or anything.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And I mean to be fair, if I am him, I'm not sure that I wanna come back there to loss for later.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Nothing to say about me.
- 9:45Speaker 1: He don't have to go through Skinner Park and thing again which I believe Tazia Okonoka could benefit from going to Skinner Park and sharpen up a little bit before he come back.
- 9:54Speaker 1: So maybe the defending champion should still go Skinner Park.
- 9:56Speaker 1: But I suppose you can't disqualify them, you know.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I mean they had to come and defend the crown, but I'm eager to find out if it is Marshall going again.
- 10:04Speaker 1: But I had to take in this whole Calypso again, again, because I had to eat back my words and I might be playing this every week for the rest of this podcast.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm up to about the episode 5000.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Right, the first time I talk in the competition Marshall Montana first, kari Nash's second, roderick.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Chuck Gordon third.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Chucky was good with the Charles.
- 12:49Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Mekal Tazia Comfort.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I want to say congratulations to Mekal Tazia on a great season with two very big songs that stay in rotation throughout.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Also a road match that they couldn't catch.
- 13:02Speaker 1: I owe all their kind of contracts I'll talk about that in a while but a road match that could not be caught on the road in effects otherwise.
- 13:09Speaker 1: And is he closest?
- 13:12Speaker 1: I was talking in the beginning and I was talking strictly, just listening to Kaiso and Calypso right, which you all know that in my zone right, strictly listening to Calypso and Kaiso.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I was saying that since 86 there's the best Calypso Monarch we had.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I was just talking about Mr Shaq, kari Nash, chucky, helen Francis, glass, badger and Calypso Kuh Talen and Bryan London.
- 13:35Speaker 1: I was talking more with any core Calypso Unions who typically enter every year and fight for the crown.
- 13:41Speaker 1: I did not realize how close we would come to 86 because if you remember 86, roderick would have done Bahia, gail and Hammer right.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you that they would have said the T for Roderick.
- 13:49Speaker 1: And think back in the day too, right, people wasn't happy about that.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Not everybody was happy about that and I'll give you an example in a little bit.
- 13:54Speaker 1: But Roderick Yonking, calypso Monarch Road Match and Panorama with that song right, I think it was All Stars Play Hammer for Panorama and Win, was it All Stars Play Hammer?
- 14:07Speaker 1: I will check that.
- 14:08Speaker 1: But this year, mekalteja come close and from the little you know, it's been hard to piece together the research.
- 14:14Speaker 1: It's been hard to put together the research all the time for some of these things that claim in it.
- 14:21Speaker 1: But if my research is anywhere near close to right, mekalteja come the closest to getting to what David Roderick would have gotten over the years, because he won the Road Match with DNA, he won Yonkings with DNA.
- 14:38Speaker 1: He also won Panorama.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Well, the Panorama, they say a tie right, but you win two people win.
- 14:44Speaker 1: All Stars Play Inventor from Rolla Tundra, one of the biggest songs of the season, right, arranged by Leon Smooth Adwords, one of the biggest ones, and I can't remember if I played that before, but I played that game before.
- 14:53Speaker 1: But Renegades Tied, people lost Vex, that Renegades Tied, but it did tie with.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Arranged by Duvonsod, one of the greatest as well.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Young Legend by Mekalteja.
- 15:02Speaker 1: So, teja, take Panorama, yonking and Road Match and come right in Calypso, madagascar.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I want to congratulate him and commend him because I was one of them who was saying he was a little off key and he wasn't so great, like he had some issues in the final, but he cleaned it up in the semifinals.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Sorry, but he certainly cleaned it up for the final because he come and he sing.
- 15:24Speaker 1: He deliver his song at a real high quality, staying with the vocals trotting I don't know who talked to him or who gave him to correct it and he come correct and he sings very, very, very, very good.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I will say that in another year he could have been winning the competition.
- 15:43Speaker 1: He could have easily been winning the competition in another year because a belief is that there's not much space.
- 15:49Speaker 1: It could be one point difference between each one of them.
- 15:52Speaker 1: If you remember our Czech last episode here, how close the results were for the semis, I feel it was even closer in the final because Mekalteja had one of the hours to talk about the crime situation in the country.
- 16:03Speaker 1: His presentation was.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I want to say his presentation was just as good as Marshall.
- 16:07Speaker 1: But Marshall really come good balling Marshall here.
- 16:09Speaker 1: No, marshall, bring on Croco in the primary school outfit, one of my favorite songs from Croco.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I hope he get 250 feet.
- 16:20Speaker 1: He bring out Watchman, the great Trinidad Watchman in his little jacket and tie with no shirt, anything, because their names was mentioned in the endy song.
- 16:28Speaker 1: He brought out a trio, what we call that three generations of lions, super blue terry lions and her son who was playing pan.
- 16:39Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 16:40Speaker 1: And if you're following the social media, her son, she post her son a lot learning to play pan and everything and she bring on.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Marshall brought him out to play a riff of Riff are referencing that same, but here gale on 1986.
- 16:58Speaker 1: So I mean it be here, come even closer to 86 than I would have thought, but it was a great, great presentation.
- 17:05Speaker 1: I saw several of the parents on Instagram talking about how much rehearsal had to be done to put on a show like that.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Because Marshall looking for perfection, he going out there to give his best, not just the winners always tell Zachary I said boy, the only thing you could control is your process.
- 17:21Speaker 1: If you come on your show up every day on your study, you will keep a pass or fat in by your car.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Control that result.
- 17:26Speaker 1: If you do all your work all the time and then something have money there and you in pass.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Nobody can take away the work you do free.
- 17:31Speaker 1: You did when you was doing the prep and Marshall seemed to have that to, because they say the children was in Rehearsals for day, turning into night for rehearsals, according to According to one parent, but in the mix they had several people would have won the Calypso competition in school, people who already showed our interest in Calypso.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So Sweden is not just a random bunch of youth people together, a random bunch of people for the performances or to sing back up, and that is impressive when you look at what that does.
- 18:00Speaker 1: For me it plants a seed in a, you know, in a, in a general.
- 18:03Speaker 1: So in other words, for me, in them 20 today.
- 18:07Speaker 1: You see I'd run in a wrong last stage.
- 18:08Speaker 1: You go here about five, six of them, if so little, come out and say they were on that stage with Marshall and they so glad to come back here and win or compete against Marshall or compete in the Calypso Monarch, just like Mikal Teja with us at.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Mikal Teja say he ended up in a situation no way he competing with Marshall Montana which is a dream come true for him and know he had written some songs for Marshall I don't want to quote this song wrong about.
- 18:33Speaker 1: No, he wrote a few songs from Marshall before.
- 18:35Speaker 1: So he said to be, to be in a position to compete with him Is a big milestone for his career.
- 18:40Speaker 1: You'll see somebody same little trend coming up and being on state, being on stage on their own accord, and it's become Marshall plan.
- 18:47Speaker 1: I'll see.
- 18:48Speaker 1: I want to say as well, before I get into somebody, other winners for the carnival, I want to say that Utti Dwyna work.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Utti Dwyna work.
- 18:56Speaker 1: If you look at it from pan and the arrangers, with a partial Utti or somebody songwriter, some of the musicians, on so on, utti Dwyna job, utti, starting to pay dividends for the culture in this country.
- 19:07Speaker 1: And I am very close.
- 19:09Speaker 1: 2024 is a little bit educational here.
- 19:12Speaker 1: From my right I want to jump back into education in some form or fashion.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I feel like I learned nothing a long time and, who knows, I might be calling up, not telling, the first time I get accepted to go to you, I was, my grades was not great and they tell me, come and do carnival arts and I turn it on and who knows, I might be going right back to carnival arts in you Just to be a part of our culture and understand it more and learn a little more.
- 19:35Speaker 1: You know I mean and hopefully when I enter, when I enter Utti, and I ain't going back to bachelor's right, so I hope I could get some credits and go straight to master's level, but when I enter Utti, hopefully my thesis could win me about a half a million dollars.
- 19:50Speaker 1: That's a plan right.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Louis and O'Mala crown King and Queen at Carnival 2024.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Joseph Lewis and Roxanne O'Mala were crown King and Queen of Carnival respectively at the Mashed Grash on Sunday night in Queen's Park.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Savannah Lewis, who previously won the title in 2019 and 2020, to regain the Carnival crown with this portrayal of Sure, sure, come on, come on.
- 20:10Speaker 1: You know the underworld, you make it as what you will.
- 20:12Speaker 1: O'mala won over the judges with her depiction Of Queen Tarantula taken to take her second, to take a second Queen at Carnival title since the breakthrough year in 2020.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Both masqueraders were delighted with the win, especially Lewis, who celebrated his win with A footballers gold celebration slide across the second in staff, savannah switch.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Congratulations to them both.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Congratulations To them both.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Lewis and O'Mala, the Kings are Queen and Carnival.
- 20:37Speaker 1: You must never forget that he mass.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I was complaining a little bit about the Mashed Grash Because the length of the show, because, apart from a feeling like the show so long, it's like you have to watch all live calypso Nians perform, then they are guest performers in between.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Then you had a mass coming out.
- 20:55Speaker 1: It's just, I don't know if people remember there was one time when X tempo, everything used to be on the same night.
- 21:01Speaker 1: It's too much, it's too long.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Times change, so maybe eliminate some of the guests who were in the show.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Long times change, so maybe eliminate some of the guest performers.
- 21:11Speaker 1: I mean, in fairness to the organizers of that, in years like this when the quality so high from beginning to the end of the competition, equality, high for 12, 12 contestants except gypsy quality, real high.
- 21:26Speaker 1: I Don't know if you need guests, artists to fill last, but you could do the mass and thing and get outside fast.
- 21:31Speaker 1: But somebody did remind me that the show traditionally had to be the starter Juve.
- 21:35Speaker 1: But I find, like I mean many crime situation being white is.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I guess that would never change.
- 21:40Speaker 1: But we could.
- 21:41Speaker 1: We could actually wrap up that show if we, if we started the match ground Six, seven o'clock and wrap up that show about 1011, we could study the ground, the match grab on midnight, study Juvea should say open me, because you need a monarch and you need a king and queen or the mass to declare the carnival good, good, tradition, right, we could do that by midnight man and get a longer Juvea.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Try with the Juvea and thing, but salute to them.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Salute a Marsha Lee, king and Queen of Carnival.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Salute of Michael Tessia.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Salute to everybody who was in the Dimash ground.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Salute to Gypsy Gypsy win, the example.
- 22:13Speaker 1: We talked about that earlier.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Gypsy, gypsy, take them.
- 22:16Speaker 1: I think Gypsy will always be hard to be there.
- 22:18Speaker 1: And I'm last but not least, in terms of the winners that carnival salute to lost tribe.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Lost tribe is again your carnival band of the year, dong tong up tongue and all around tongue.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Somebody, somebody outside, is listening this one, my musical director, just corrected me.
- 22:36Speaker 1: My apologies, she is crook run Rio, who come on stage not watch man.
- 22:40Speaker 1: My apologies, oh, it's okay.
- 22:41Speaker 1: So lost tribe win ban of the year.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Lost tribe win ban of the year.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I think it will always be lost tribe winning ban of the year.
- 22:53Speaker 1: I don't think I see a ban.
- 22:55Speaker 1: I watch mass on Monday and Tuesday at home, right, and I wanted to learn that will never do that again.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I Will never miss an excanava Again.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I knew in it.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I washed on the yard a cut-up thing, a meal prep, a seasoned meat, a cook, baby dog.
- 23:12Speaker 1: I do all kind of different thing just to try to keep myself occupied and not go mad.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Kind of a big carnival Tuesday.
- 23:18Speaker 1: I need Jim like a loser, I like a loser in the gym.
- 23:21Speaker 1: It was terrible, and that other people they too.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I wanted to ask them why you are loser, why are you in the gym right now?
- 23:27Speaker 1: But I had to do something to avoid it so I Survived.
- 23:32Speaker 1: For the people who are selling, I'll be here giving reviews of lost tribe and kind of an ash Wednesday.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I did not.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I did not play in lost tribe, I did not leave home.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I stayed home for the whole time I went.
- 23:41Speaker 1: People try all how to get my sick people started sniffing planting before carnival.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I I dodged that like a ninja roll out of that.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I went to.
- 23:49Speaker 1: So cause street festivals, so cause street festivals when the best feds ever went to, always real good.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I went to that at a great time.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I leave early.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I say you know what?
- 23:58Speaker 1: I walk with my bag full of thing a bit.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I went out when I went up, when that water hit man thing early morning and when back in my car say oh yeah, go on, I take a naked as a born any King George, what a place named Mandela Park.
- 24:09Speaker 1: I wipe off all that cool water pond thing of my jacket in the car and I drove back down the road Responsibly.
- 24:16Speaker 1: I walk with my little copper thing where you can see through and drink a thing and make sure good for soaker.
- 24:22Speaker 1: All I have in there is night will by day will and I find out come woman, I was not sick, only for no musical director to come home after carnival with her lost tribe, cool video.
- 24:33Speaker 1: What do I ever again lost tribe, and they tried to take my down.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Still all now I'm still trying to fight the coal.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Have on the sweater, trying to sweat out a cold, yeah, but from why see on TV?
- 24:42Speaker 1: And all they go tell me if I was any different.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Lost tribe is going to be hard to beat.
- 24:45Speaker 1: For Banner, dear, I feel you should just get him that for the next 10 years.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Influences.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Look good, what that pause that man is.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Look good, right, that was look good on your own.
- 24:56Speaker 1: And not sure if I convinced yet to go and play mass in our dongeries and along Pants with some partial rope tying up the thing and a bell bottoms and I a force one.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I have it in my head.
- 25:06Speaker 1: I ain't sure I reached that stage.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I might be pretty mass until I say the mass or playing with all stars or one of them.
- 25:13Speaker 1: I ain't sure have it in my maybe.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Maybe my inclination is to go to Red and brass by Etienne and hear some live bands on the road and that kind of thing.
- 25:22Speaker 1: But from all indication Lost tribe was good.
- 25:26Speaker 1: People say, people say they had a great time.
- 25:28Speaker 1: People seemed to have found a home.
- 25:30Speaker 1: People who are here for years.
- 25:32Speaker 1: I tell them come and play mass.
- 25:34Speaker 1: If they playing mass again, I meet people, masqueraders, and I meet people as masquerader and then they're done with that.
- 25:40Speaker 1: They never play mass again.
- 25:41Speaker 1: They're done.
- 25:42Speaker 1: You know, I mean the sense since we start having children to grow them strong, we give dance up.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Real thing in my house.
- 25:48Speaker 1: All of a sudden people come back out and you wrote and think and they go on lost tribe.
- 25:51Speaker 1: They said it would never play with nobody else but try.
- 25:53Speaker 1: But it go on lost tribe and it seems as though they find a home.
- 25:56Speaker 1: I wanted to let out the people cost you matter Cape.
- 25:59Speaker 1: And now we went.
- 26:01Speaker 1: We carry Cape.
- 26:02Speaker 1: She bring it back home.
- 26:03Speaker 1: We carried by a tailor to make blackout curtains for the entire house.
- 26:07Speaker 1: The one Cape.
- 26:07Speaker 1: The one Cape could make blackout curtains for the whole place.
- 26:11Speaker 1: It could make a couch.
- 26:12Speaker 1: You know your covered on your couch and think, like I'm grandparents used to come, we could.
- 26:15Speaker 1: We could do that.
- 26:16Speaker 1: It have enough fabric to do that with you think so.
- 26:18Speaker 1: The only reason lost tribe is on my list for 2025 kind of Alice, because me and my four mass partners decide that we will put together and put 2000 a piece instead of paying four and five thousand dollars for a costume.
- 26:31Speaker 1: If, before we put 2000 and become over that 8000, we could actually just buy one lost tribe costume and cut that up into pieces that we could use to play mass for the next decade, without one costume, we could play mass for a decade.
- 26:45Speaker 1: We could take about 35 short pants out of that one costume.
- 26:49Speaker 1: So maybe lost tribe is on the list.
- 26:51Speaker 1: I did see a guy I he was doing a review of spirits, which is one of the new bands for the season, and I I think he's no fat review, he's a man is talk.
- 27:09Speaker 1: I can't remember why I know him and why he's so popular, but he's talk about things right, just ocean media man is supposed to talk or something, and he was talking about how good spirit was when I did first come across spirit I thought to myself for one split second that a we could get spirits at try.
- 27:23Speaker 1: We play with humor.
- 27:24Speaker 1: For the last few years I did say I am moving from you, ma at all.
- 27:27Speaker 1: But I say I like the vibe spirits had, because spirits had this thing where they say they will do Brunch on the road right and I tell myself at my big age it might be a good idea for me to Do a little branch rather than fight up on the road and go down the long, long route and try truck moving fast, fast, fast, or humor where you lost somebody, a cafe in the back, if I go by spirit, and I thought that what they would do is the study master 10, go till 12, have a brunch till about 4 o'clock and sit on somewhere and eat and lime and relax and talk, which sometimes be the best part of mass for me, because Mass at my age really about getting a chance to line up my partners and them who are those, see, for a long time you know me and then move off and then had somewhere closest in James I could walk home.
- 28:10Speaker 1: But from what the guy was saying they did.
- 28:12Speaker 1: They started the first day with the branch.
- 28:13Speaker 1: So you met the banner 10 and they didn't move off till about two or three o'clock, he say, and they had some performance.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Is any ground?
- 28:19Speaker 1: Unlimited eats and drinks.
- 28:20Speaker 1: And then they went on the road.
- 28:21Speaker 1: I was surprised to him say that after that they stop for lunch again.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I feel like if I'm doing a branch from 10 to 2, I Got they just stay on your road for the rest of the day, I don't need to stop again after that.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Let me go till we done, till the moon gone, sleeping, I mean if I wake up or whatever supposed to be.
- 28:36Speaker 1: And then I didn't get to his part where he was reviewing kind of all Tuesday.
- 28:40Speaker 1: But that branch thinks something like a good enough idea for me.
- 28:43Speaker 1: So spirit spirit a little bit on the list, although I'm a partner who is vehemently against giving school his money.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Say, school and them is make things too hard to get and For that reason he all team begging nobody to spend money.
- 28:56Speaker 1: By there I started to Lean to what that.
- 28:59Speaker 1: More and more I realized that somewhere along the road have become a carnival elitist and I want to change that reputation, even if it's a reputation that is in my own mind.
- 29:08Speaker 1: I really don't like it.
- 29:09Speaker 1: I don't like this.
- 29:10Speaker 1: It's kind of all elitist thing and I did see as well.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I want to say a special salute to trick and all because trick and all this would have been the last year for the juve, as they would have done it for the last.
- 29:22Speaker 1: I think they said, did they say 30 years?
- 29:24Speaker 1: That's impressive.
- 29:25Speaker 1: The several Entertainers, celebrities, social media personalities and lovers of the culture went to trick and all for the last year.
- 29:38Speaker 1: It make me I feel sad.
- 29:39Speaker 1: I know.
- 29:40Speaker 1: I wish I had told her that I was thinking about Juve and I was trying to figure out what band to play with and I talk more trick and all all this time.
- 29:45Speaker 1: But it never dawned on me to just fall in with trick and all for the Juve and play a little powder mask.
- 29:49Speaker 1: But so several Influencers in the culture in the trick and all and it was a little sad because you kind of want to.
- 29:56Speaker 1: I asked myself what replaces Trichanal?
- 30:00Speaker 1: I hear my father talk more about playing Mass with all Juve, borokites, borokites, kind of fade to black.
- 30:06Speaker 1: A lot of the bands used to come out of Belmond, the Juve bands.
- 30:08Speaker 1: They're not around anymore and you wonder what is going to take up that space of a Trichanal.
- 30:15Speaker 1: We need a massive Juve type thing.
- 30:19Speaker 1: I like how there's this little white girl.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I wanted to let her know the girl name but I can't remember the girl name.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I think it's Toy, something or another.
- 30:25Speaker 1: She entrend that and she was the one who was referencing that was saying that she finds Kanaval for outsiders is difficult because of the FET calendar and so on.
- 30:39Speaker 1: The FET calendar just says basically the name of FETs and so on and they don't tell you where it is or what kind of FET it is or how much for it is.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Just it's really designed for locals or what kind of Val.
- 30:49Speaker 1: If you don't know somebody, who knows somebody, you could be in Trinidad but outside of the Kanaval.
- 30:54Speaker 1: But I was following her experiencing several different parts of the Kanaval.
- 30:59Speaker 1: I experienced a lot of different parts of Trinidad, some of them that I'm not going at all and I feel like we need to continue to make a Kanaval that is authentic and I keep hearing this argument that Jamaica Kanaval going to take over.
- 31:13Speaker 1: So my boy, ed Edson Martin here what's the girl name, ed?
- 31:17Speaker 1: Somebody on TikTok by the name of Lucinda Rdolfo who songs Yankee, maybe Trinidadian roots, but talking about her experience with Kanaval over the years.
- 31:27Speaker 1: And everybody will take over.
- 31:28Speaker 1: We talked about check out that episode with Keegan Taylor and Marsha Messiah as well.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Where we talking about will Jamaica Kanaval take over Trinidad Kanaval?
- 31:36Speaker 1: And I feel like one of the biggest things we have going for us is how immersive our Kanaval is.
- 31:42Speaker 1: The whole country turns off and goes into Kanaval mode and everybody sick after everybody get ashes and so on.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Is we in one mode for Kanaval?
- 31:49Speaker 1: I've not seen another Kanaval where the country switches off like that.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Any other country that has that is probably smaller than us and I'm not saying that they will not do well and they will not continue to grow, but I don't see it as growing at the expense of Trinidad Kanaval.
- 32:03Speaker 1: I feel like we have several versions of a Trinidad Kanaval globally and I don't want to knock places like Grenadiers and Vince.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I don't want to say we are the origin of their Kanaval or anything like that, but where you have the commercialized versions of Kanaval, trinidad certainly dominates us.
- 32:21Speaker 1: We have the designers, we have the artists, we have the music, the producers and a lot of what we create is what is going on there to fuel those Kanavals.
- 32:29Speaker 1: To maintain Trinidad as a mecca is not just about lowering the fat prices.
- 32:34Speaker 1: We have to look at that as we are continuing to get more expensive If it continues.
- 32:38Speaker 1: I heard Ronnie McIntosh say that what we sell is exclusivity and not inclusivity.
- 32:43Speaker 1: When you say all inclusive where it really is all exclusive, I find a lot of these words landing in my yard.
- 32:49Speaker 1: When Ronnie talks, I feel that way.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I feel like that is me talking more, because I kind of like the fact where the tickets are hard to get and maybe they are a little more expensive, I would like to pay less.
- 32:58Speaker 1: But when they are a little more expensive, I feel like, if ok, that's more something that will be the rest of the piece.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I can't take it and I am revisiting my whole outlook on these things.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I don't want to be separatist and elitist.
- 33:12Speaker 1: I don't want to be the gated community guy that just want to stay away from everybody and don't want people to touch me.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I don't know when I become that guy.
- 33:18Speaker 1: I thought I was humanity wrong, but clearly I am not that.
- 33:22Speaker 1: But Lucinda Rudolph was talking a lot about Trinidad Kanaval and how things expensive, but I feel like a lot of these influencers are just talking about one little part of Kanaval.
- 33:31Speaker 1: They coming in for the last week of Kanaval and judging everything by that standard.
- 33:36Speaker 1: When is they self-inflating the prices of those events, the private raians and the soka and all those things, very, very expensive compared to the other fets that happened long before they reach in?
- 33:47Speaker 1: And I want to reference things like Trichanal, the stick fights, the Dimash grad, the Cambolay riots, redaction All those things are what makes our Kanaval completely immersive and plenty of them things free.
- 33:59Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Kanaval village that she went to in Isavana for free Nearly every night she free and all the whole Kanaval.
- 34:06Speaker 1: She spent a cent for the Kanaval.
- 34:08Speaker 1: So this idea that tribe is Kanaval or lost, tribe is Kanaval or private raians and them soka brainwashes Kanaval.
- 34:19Speaker 1: That's simply not true.
- 34:21Speaker 1: If that's your opinion as a returning resident and you want to come here every year and fight up for tickets to come to them event, because is it new?
- 34:29Speaker 1: The ticket to come to these events is a new barrel Is the way I was saying.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Listen, we came and we bring back money for you all and we do things and we contribute to the economy and so on and you all live better now and the the pruders and the Gucci bags and all them thing is the new Air Force ones and high top sneakers and Jordans and tall socks.
- 34:45Speaker 1: It is just the new thing that people come from abroad something shiny to show people that we doing good over there.
- 34:53Speaker 1: That is not Kanaval.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Well, that is just a real small commercialized version of Kanaval, which I like.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that it documented that I like it because it's a space for entrepreneurs to make money.
- 35:07Speaker 1: It might not be solely about the culture or the continuity of Kanaval and entrepreneurs know the risk of the ticket.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Entrepreneurs will try events the event goes gone or the event go back and I'll road and you have to stop doing it or take a year off or whatsoever.
- 35:21Speaker 1: It's doggy dog in that space, but that is a microcosm of the greater microcosm that is Kanaval.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Small parts of Kanaval I'll be using to judge you whole like Kanaval.
- 35:32Speaker 1: One more thing that I want to say before I get back to my what I like to do here, because on this podcast, kanaval is never over, right, kanaval is never over.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Calypso was always so called, so called, always called.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 35:45Speaker 1: They're like a giant, you know, because I hear for the last three years or whatever it is I hear for and to tell people is that the front is in Calypso and so is not.
- 35:53Speaker 1: The front is in Calypso and I'm so happy and somebody seems so nobody can take me on, but I had from Marshall.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Now, right, but the last thing that I wanted to touch on was something I saw Mr Shaq post or repose with Juve and the Juve and what we call old mass, and I feel like old mass, like he reposted somebody like as Karen, you need to share a climb in our fence.
- 36:16Speaker 1: As a little child watching Juve, that was a big part of what I was watching to see the funny little things that people would do as reenactments for all my.
- 36:25Speaker 1: You know this is a bit bubbly, and on and on and on.
- 36:27Speaker 1: And is that Easter Sunday for the old mass?
- 36:31Speaker 1: I used to see a lot of people doing portrayals of current events and so on, and I feel like, as that has I don't like to say that things fade away because I wasn't paying attention to it, but I haven't seen a whole lot of that and it does seem to be as popular as it used to be when I was watching it.
- 36:51Speaker 1: But I feel like social media is the ideal place for something like that.
- 36:55Speaker 1: And when they've been in ncc and stuff, have things in their plans too.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Or if they think about things like this where you know we can have competitions that solely on social media, rather than try to pack up the savannah every week or try to pack up what they call the next place soka drum or whatever, or the audicalepso tense they could.
- 37:14Speaker 1: Their space is on social media.
- 37:15Speaker 1: So when I see what juniorly, soluto juniorly, if during the carnival, one of the comedian who, if you don't know him, jrlee right on Instagram, the youth funny, the youth funny doing all kinds of skits on social media, he's funny.
- 37:27Speaker 1: I never used to find he was that funny, but this carnival he gone on a different level.
- 37:31Speaker 1: It's very, very short skits and he teamed up with 35 Sam Snow, also extremely funny and have a big following among young people.
- 37:38Speaker 1: The thing would be me and you to carry carnival forward and all the people arguing about the parts of carnival that dying, dying.
- 37:44Speaker 1: You understand where I'm coming from the youth.
- 37:47Speaker 1: You need youth to carry thing forward.
- 37:49Speaker 1: So when he said that about Sush, the old master was like listen, it's a good idea if you could put something forward.
- 37:56Speaker 1: That is a competition, if competition is the best way to drive it right.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Just using competition as an example, because that what we use now.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Right, if you could take one of these budgets that you see, have for 200,000, for example, for himself, and they put that towards the creatives to say, alright, there's an old mass competition and where we, where we capturing the thing is on displays, displays, displays, displays, displays.
- 38:16Speaker 1: That's where we capturing it and our working for local TV and international TV.
- 38:19Speaker 1: But all you have to do is submit your videos, do the thing and use that to revive the old mass and we create a rubric, just like what we have for Calypso Monarch.
- 38:28Speaker 1: We say, alright, we will be scoring here and is how currently issue is your treatment of it, your humor, your mountain likes, whatever it is like we could evolve some of these competitions from, because not everything built for stage or Savannah stage and all mass competitions were right, but no longer they're not.
- 38:45Speaker 1: There is to spread out, they don't have enough people packing up the Savannah.
- 38:49Speaker 1: I'd like to see people say that night and I say when I was small, the Savannah used to be packed.
- 38:54Speaker 1: When you were small people used to drive 120 miles, stick shift and all I'm kind of saying what are you talking about?
- 39:01Speaker 1: Everything here is the same as when you were small.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Not because it different from when you were small mean, all of a sudden it failing and it's doing nothing, but anyway, that was my kind of a wrap up.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
- 39:10Speaker 1: You're welcome everybody.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Thank you, you know what I mean.
- 39:12Speaker 1: That was my wrap up, but I could I get back to just playing kaiso and thing every week now.

- 43:33Speaker 1: Assuming Young Kings in 86 was one song.
- 43:35Speaker 1: He sang the two to win the Calypso Monarch.
- 43:38Speaker 1: But he a Gale when he wrote Match and this is his song that all stars play in 86 to win Panorama.
- 44:23Speaker 3: Somewhere up in Lavanti many years ago, our man had a hammer used to follow him to and through.

- 49:29Speaker 1: He say what is do is belacetto, like a balcony, like a set of verandas along the street where you could pay and go up on the veranda and watch when a band passing and then when you're done with that band, you go back downstairs and enjoy wherever party in.
- 49:44Speaker 1: So he say it's about the party in, not the street parade.
- 49:46Speaker 1: So I say well, pablo, you had to start it.
- 49:48Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I said, trinidad, you had to just go out there and jam something.
- 49:51Speaker 1: You had to go to the street parade with nobody.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Nobody in doing nothing like that.
- 49:55Speaker 1: He say man and woman, man and man Might walk, howling hard and go down the road, but nobody in jamming.
- 50:01Speaker 1: Nobody is not that kind of fat right.
- 50:04Speaker 1: So he say somebody did tell him that in Brazil they have a carnival that is Trinidad kind of style carnival, with the same kind of costumes and revelry that we have in Trinidad.
- 50:14Speaker 1: He say, but nobody don't go to Rio Carnival.
- 50:15Speaker 1: He say Rio Carnival is commercial business.
- 50:18Speaker 1: He say he had to go to Carnival and named Trini Boy Juicy Salute to Trini Boy Juicy.
- 50:24Speaker 1: He say never in my life would I have thought I would be performing somewhere else and missiles on Trinidad kind of are the greatest show on Earth.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Right, I want to play for you a piece of what Juicy sing.
- 51:10Speaker 3: You know this song.
- 51:25Speaker 1: He said.
- 51:25Speaker 1: This year I was invited on behalf of NH Carnival to perform at Afro Punk Bahia, brazil.
- 51:32Speaker 1: It was one of the most inspiring and eye-opening events of my life.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Being one of the first soca artists to perform at Brazil Canoval was an honor.
- 51:42Speaker 1: I felt empowered, knowing I am bringing authentic soca to be Bahia Canoval, one of the biggest canoval, where I was able to share the stage with Brazil's biggest artist, p Ciroco.
- 51:53Speaker 1: I hope I know who that is, p of Vibes.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Thank you so much, brazil.
- 51:57Speaker 1: So apparently Bahia is that place where I have that trinny style canoval.
- 52:02Speaker 1: So my partner, pablo.
- 52:03Speaker 1: As a canoval man, I find it a little bit wrong doing no kind of research at all, because you're supposed to know where the trinny canoval is all over the world.
- 52:12Speaker 1: You're not supposed to end up in Rio when the canoval is actually in Bahia.
- 52:16Speaker 1: So when David brother was singing this song, the man knew what he was saying really.
- 52:20Speaker 1: So let me go to this now.
- 52:22Speaker 1: This was his second song in 86.
- 52:24Speaker 1: The big song of 86, the bigger of the two songs that would have cleaned up everything, because it's just so close to it.
- 53:01Speaker 3: Again.
- 53:02Speaker 3: So this is the X Staying in Maruga, this lady Rella.
- 53:12Speaker 3: She bones some sweet meat as a man with a plan.
- 53:17Speaker 3: Well, I really didn't waste no time.
- 53:18Speaker 3: I make up my mind tonight.
- 53:21Speaker 3: This Brazilian is mine.
- 53:24Speaker 3: As the music played, lord, she started to sing to the so-called beat.
- 53:29Speaker 3: She put a samba swing Bim, bim, bim, ba-dum, bim, bim, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum.
- 54:06Speaker 3: Then she started to trim.
- 54:09Speaker 3: But she gave me goosebim.
- 54:12Speaker 3: But Saka in she's Samba, samba in she's Saka.
- 54:16Speaker 3: I just take off my shirt, pass her shoes.
- 54:19Speaker 3: She made three knee pants.
- 54:20Speaker 3: The woman just put on her smile as she damped and she Samba dance.
- 54:24Speaker 3: She had me in heaven, she had your boy in hell.
- 54:29Speaker 3: What that do?
- 54:30Speaker 3: 그� remainder of me had just couldn't套 in państwa.
- 54:33Speaker 3: Like she brings me заним to this Bim-bim, bim-bim, ba-dum, ba-dum.
- 54:36Speaker 3: But she was do all of her life'sici Bim 501.
- 55:00Speaker 3: The root of the.
- 55:01Speaker 3: Then I start to notice way like you is about this.
- 55:48Speaker 3: She's still telling no, no, no, my darling is not so.
- 55:52Speaker 3: You see, trinidad and Brazil.
- 55:54Speaker 3: We have this same vibration.
- 55:56Speaker 3: She makes me to understand.
- 55:59Speaker 3: Then the Trini people take into the street From Sando to Palatubia, chanken to the beat.
- 56:08Speaker 3: We hold our throats again.
- 56:10Speaker 3: Bim bim, bim bim, baby bamba.
- 56:25Speaker 3: Bim bim, bim, baby bamba.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Just before I come off.
- 57:01Speaker 1: This is a whole Cannaval rap up, right, but I saw a Cannaval rap up you typically see one from Chromatix, a great Chromatix, a great Myron B, calypso night.
- 57:11Speaker 1: But surprisingly somebody sent me a Cannaval rap up by a man by the name of Trinidad Madman, who, for the sake of your ears, I will not play no Trinidad Madman on this podcast, probably ever until he starts listening to something.
- 57:25Speaker 1: We're in alignment with what we just come here to do.
- 57:27Speaker 1: But the man did make a good point in this Cannaval rap up.
- 57:30Speaker 1: The man saying he hear Marshall Montana's song and it's song very familiar, as many people would say, basic melody.
- 57:40Speaker 1: Right, I could sing a butter.
- 57:41Speaker 1: If you're Rampa, rampa, rampa man, you give me the right amongst the white rum to drink.
- 57:45Speaker 1: I could sing for about two hours with a Rampa, rampa, rampa me.
- 57:48Speaker 1: It was an existing song that man sang hits to, but this man liked Marshall Montana's song to a song that my song is very familiar to you all.
- 57:58Speaker 1: You gotta tell me if it's true or not, is?
- 58:00Speaker 3: that the fly?
- 58:01Speaker 3: Is that the LeRoach?
- 58:03Speaker 3: Is that the new master?
- 58:04Speaker 3: Flow that the spider?
- 58:06Speaker 3: That the ants?
- 58:08Speaker 3: That the fear of your flow?
- 58:09Speaker 3: That the teacher and my bonnet?
- 58:13Speaker 3: That the friendly friend that the soundbite?
- 58:16Speaker 3: That the campania?
- 58:17Speaker 3: That the pussy with your back.
- 58:19Speaker 3: Now it's the time to clean up your mess.
- 58:22Speaker 3: Is that the oil and sex mess that is?
- 58:24Speaker 1: now a village Rampa, rampa, rampa, rampa, rampa, rampa.
- 58:26Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 58:27Speaker 1: You gotta tell me, because all your memory better than mine.
- 58:30Speaker 1: The man said he sings like Brigo Death Commercials to look like the late great Brigo.
- 58:34Speaker 1: If you're listening to this podcast for a little bit of time, if you're listening to a few episodes, you're bound to know that Brigo is one of my favorite calypsoons.
- 58:44Speaker 1: So I could never leave you with that alone, right?

- 1:02:56Speaker 1: I find like I want to add things for Lento.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: You're supposed to give up something.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: For Lento, you're supposed to make a change.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: I find like I want to live a life about abundance where rather than give up something, I add something.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: But sure enough, people went and swung the cape up and down this road, kind of all Monday and Tuesday.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: They felt they went veiled, they went all over the place and then they went in the church and kneeled down, acting more pious than the father himself in the church.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: But luckily the news they have an article here by Gregory McBurn saying the priest says nothing wrong with playing mass and taking ashes.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: Dr Immanuel was a daffy.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: Daffy For the Immanuel daffy.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: It says they believe that people who receive ashes on ash Wednesday after partaking in carnival celebrations were insensors and unfair ones.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: Speaking with the news, they have to deliver any homily at Wednesdays.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: Wednesdays Mass at the Sacred Heart Church on Richmond Street in Port of Spain.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Daffy said nobody is a completely human being.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: Carnival reminds us of our humanity.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Wait, no, we're trying to say daffy, we're trying to say that we are imperfection.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Are we playing mass?
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Watch it.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: He said.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: Carnival reminds us of our humanity while receiving ashes as a reminder that God has built us into a spiritual life.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: Adding man is both human and divine.
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: I like that.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: That is my response to any argument in this house going forward, any argument that's have here.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: I will say man is both human and divine, he said he put.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: A purpose of ash Wednesday was to ask God for forgiveness and his strength to change.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Is it forgiveness for the carnival or is it a general forgiveness?
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: This is the time in case, maybe the way you played mass or the way it did certain things during carnival, like what we're doing in this Cape, so we're just doing certain things during carnival If it is not completely good in the sight of God, wednesday is the day that you have to come and say God, I am sorry, I am human, I am sorry.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Man is both human and divine.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: Balance is what we talk about.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: Give me the grace to continue, because all of us are works in progress.
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: I say so.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: I should have gone gashes, he added, while some of the aspects of carnival were in opposition to Christian beliefs which runs, I want to know, he added as well, some of some aspects of carnival were in opposition to Christian beliefs the festival was not at all bad, as there was some positives about it.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: I do not completely see carnival from a negative perspective Because if something like that is not happening, how would they will be?
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: People are so disillusioned.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Some don't find joy even in their own life.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Daffy said carnival attracts visitors from all over the world and brings people together to laugh and connect.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: I say so.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Some people would have made a lot of contacts, a lot of connections.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: You can hardly know.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Some people might get a job outside Trinidad because of the people who came for carnival.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: If you are wine-riding for the Daffy, if you are wine-riding, you can get a job.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: He described the celebration as therapeutic.
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: I find it therapeutic and they would make me miss my therapy again.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: He said it allows people to interact with laughter, eat, drink and celebrate.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: Daffy said it was proof that some Proof for some that something good can still come of their life and that life is moved.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Wow, he warned against taking life too seriously and wearing a gloomy face.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: Yes, something like that could bring joy in the hearts of so many people.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: It helps some to have a quiet and relaxed atmosphere like me, unfortunately and others to celebrate and have the time and jump up, like the musical director.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: They have time to see that life is not just all about problems, stress and tension.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: He believed that, despite what others might say, even the Lord could find something positive about him.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: It makes people laugh, it makes people smile, it eases the tension and it helps us to appreciate one another as male and female, as male and female.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: So something good is in there.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Yes, father Duffy, where, from when?
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: From here?
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: I always like things like this.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: I like Trinidad and Tobago because Ash Wednesday is fall the two days after and because, with this fast and break, fast on a who say a big who say day, and because when the Wally done on the break, trinidad is a place where we are both human and divine.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: This is what Trinidad and Tobago is.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: We done there already.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: You see the unity that is Trinidad and Tobago.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: It could seem fractured with the crime.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: It could seem fractured with the politics, even in business, or the way we do things or the way we interact with one another sometimes.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: But let me tell you something if you take a bird's eye view of this place, you will notice that we just mourn together, we laugh together, we pray together, we forgive our sins together and play like nothing happened.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Because when you see a grain church and Ash Wednesday right, I went to Catholic school right back to back.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: When you see a kneel down to take your ashes, it has some people where the sun burns so bad that they don't need the ash.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: You know they could just wipe their head ready cross.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: The sun burns so bad on the forehead, they may bonfire ash, they just wipe off the dead skin and they had a cross on the forehead and we accept that as normal.
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: So I don't understand why they have to have this every year thing that says it's okay to play mass and take ashes.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: We don't know that as a society already masqueraders is walking around, including, I think, the musical director home here says she take ashes twice.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Did they know what she do kind of on Monday and Tuesday?
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: What kind of sins it has to wash away in the lost tribe that you have to take two sets of ashes, one across vertical, the next one across horizontal me and every me she pointing at.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: She take two sides.
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: I don't understand it.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: But again, the idea that they have to look at Canavala is something that have some good in it.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Canavala is divine.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: Canavala is divine already.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: If I have no religion or nobody who could come and look at this to tell me what part of it divine and what part of it ain't divine.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: And when they say a blue devil but I see, I think it's residents, they had a bad name, resonates or something like that put out a blue devil, a big costum, they think look good.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: They say but this I see the people on Facebook in that quandary how the devil, why they had to bring the devil in Canavala.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: And I trying to think of what like, which kind of like?
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: Well, they've been watching Canavala.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: They know what this is about.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: Well, you know how this thing starts up.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: You know what this is.
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: It's so easy to think that this have something to do with beads and feathers.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: For two days that cost $6,000 and we might forget sometime that this entire Canavala is a word freedom and free-ness.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: Sometimes we forget.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: We need all reminders and oh, my, ashby was very apt with a reminder.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: On Ash Wednesday morning or sometime this week, I see him post something because they I would have spoken about several of them from.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: I want to say something to do with culture.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: If I could read and be prepared for this, this would be much better.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: But something to do with culture.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: Right, one of the missions and Ghana, like something to do with ministry or culture or something like that cultural ambassadors.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: Right, and two of the names I remember is I remember Abel Jackson and Omari Ashby being there and Omari put up a picture right Of our church in somewhere around the house and no return in Ghana.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Right, where there were gates way for slaves to head to the western world.
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: Right, and in the church you were showing our whole where churchgoers could come down and look at slaves in the dungeon while they pray.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: So I always make a joke over here and say that people just pray down on me.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: You know what I mean, but they literally pray down on people in the church.
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: So while we go and we kneel and we take the ashes which I always support, I love the I don't even want to say dualities, it's just trend as a multifaceted place where this is just who we are and we accept it for what it is.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: There's no persecution of anybody who wearing the ashes when they walk down the road.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: They just it just accepted as that is what it's doing.
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: That is who you are, that is that.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: So I always worry about the way all these state things like this, especially you know, I mean a Catholic priest and I I'm like I'm pre-saying these things, I mean better, you just say especially a Catholic.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: I find you should come out and say Cannaval was great, or come out like a running as a Cannavalist color Cannavalist mass holding in Savannah.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: I guess he has steel band bars, but all they make that he hold mass and then they play people like ashes and go away.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: I don't agree with this thing where we have a condescending tone towards something that is ours, especially when I know some priests.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: There's a man in Fatima.
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: We went down the islands to the Holy Ghost.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: Fathers have a house down the islands, right.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: So we went down with Father Gregory and they had a fellow named brother, julian, right.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: When he's a brother in the Catholic faith, that means you're going to be a priest, right.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: When I met Father Gregory, he was Brother Gregory.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: There's a reason that people are calling him Father Augustine.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: When we know you're young, your brother does go by your first name and then you ordain, then you become Father Augustine, but all the boys in Fatima know him as Brother Gregory, and when he went and he turned priest, we just call him Father Gregory.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: He's the only priest in the country who is called Father by his first name, like Emmanuel Duffy.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: He's a Father Duffy, not Father Emmanuel, right, but Father Gregory.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Really, father Gregory should be Father Augustine, right.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: But Father Gregory is away, so we went down with him and Brother Julian was leading the thing and I always remember him singing a song with the boys.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because when you go to Catholic school they're trying to Catholicize you.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: They will get twisted, they're trying to get you.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: But I born on a kind of old Sunday so they'll have a hard time with me, right.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: But he was singing a song like a sunflower that follows every movement of the sun, and so the children will learn something like that and boys will sing that and they will enjoy themselves.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: And you know what I mean.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: We call that worship and so on.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: We had our worships and he could have played a nice little guitar too.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: You know I go like that.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: And we had a little worship session.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: We enjoyed time down there.
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: We played some football.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: We come back the following kind of I in Fatima doing an overnight vigil mass, what is it called?
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: This is kind of a Sunday night into Monday morning.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: I don't let my mother hear this, but I go in them vigil all the time.
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: Because when I go in them vigil then I head in the juve.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: You know I run the Savannah by Chinese Association.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: You know not that I think about it.
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: My mother fully well know what I was up to.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: You know she was him taking me up.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: But when we do the vigil and thing and a juve band pass across in front by Fatima, who we could see?
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: But Brother Julian the sunflower who follows every movement of the sun in mud, jamming going down the road, he had a high, as it should be, brother Julian, done with that.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: He say not me and that, if the you know what I mean, I jamming people going down the road, if it a mass, why I must be left out.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: And I don't think he ever became a priest.
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: He left the priesthood and I think, which I find is a shame, that should be part of Lady Cat To let things stay how it is.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: You will my internal that Lady Cat, like priests, played a little mass.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: And then I remember Father Emmanuel Pear, the parish priest now for St Mary's Church where we get married for, and he married my father and his wife.
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: You know I mean a stepmother.

- 1:22:55Speaker 5: You are Fourth Master, knock potencial neck.
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: All fresh water Yankees.
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: Now again, before I get out of here, I want to let be known that this can of alphys some reason I see people see Cannaval this year was smaller.
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: They say the sales was lower.
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: Some of the bands are so a cassio of humor, saluta Casio, talking about humor being a little smaller than it usually is.
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: But I want to say that regard.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what the sales are.
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: I can tell you all the effects I went in was bigger than they usually are.
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: I guess there are new mass band in the mix.
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: So people are the fine new ways to compete with that mass band and people of age and stage and life starting to head towards Lost Tribe and people like me so resistant but wherever it might be, and all the things that they say about less people on the road.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: On something I want to say that something was very special about this Cannaval.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: I'm not sure I could put my finger on exactly what it is.
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: I was talking about Marshall not being in any of the effects and not being missed.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: It might be, it might be our first signal of his way into retirement.
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: Right, not saying anything about.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: We can't take away anything from anything he's done, but there was a time when Marshall used to be so missed and that not happening now.
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's the special nature of mechaltejo.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: I was talking about how similar the same chord structure for that song versus Savannah grass and a road match that missed, which was the favorite of the year that didn't win road match and now this one couldn't be denied.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Or just young mechaltejo coming out and winning out everything this year the tie in panorama, the controversy that that cause, the Calypso Monarch, and how powerful that competition was among all the finalists this year Skin up again a revival.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: I'm not sure what exactly the thing was, but there was something about this Cannaval in particular that was very, very special the Jeunesse Quoi of this Cannaval, and I hope that it continues to be a Cannaval of this nature.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: I saw Salute Marshall Masai, who said this year was her swan song and she played with, I believe, a spirit.
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: She said and she already messaged me and said she'll be back for 2025 because that indescribable thing that can be measured by money or anything like that, and it involves how good the events were the back and all involved in Cannaval, the Calypso Monarch being tight, the mass bands being competing in a tighter way, the road match, having stiff competition, them things important to the Cannaval and somehow all the different things that would lead, or even the short season.
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: So condensed this make a special Cannaval for 2024 and when COVID might have seen me remember when we was here talking about the taste of Cannaval and them things we finally get a Cannaval that backed its full strength and I hope it continues to grow and we continue to enjoy it for what it is.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: Salute everybody who went to the church camp and thing, and when they come back I hope all the camp was as special as the Cannaval was.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: But a song that I did not play for the entire Cannaval that I keep promising to play I had a close episode with because this song is a special song and there are some second place roadmatch which legendary, right Like Cannaval and TNT, is so special to all of we, like we need blood in me vein that's how we feel about porous pain.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: That was a second place in the Calypso Monarch and that is a special song to all masqueraders, anybody who loved the Cannaval, basically, this particular song, this song special and I want to say that if Banji had come up with the idea a week before to tell people to walk with a sharpie or pen to sign that Savannah stage.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: I feel he could have catch me a little bit because this idea of me and Cannaval having a contract I like to talk about.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: Banji and I have into my lyrics in his song and when I hear Calypso I hum back whale.
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: From the time I hear hum back whale I want to listen to this song and it's hard like nail.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: I just gotta get vexed one time and me want to listen.
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: But this song is a special, special song.
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: I like to talk about forever music here and this is one of them forever song.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: So I'll even all over that from a Cannaval rapper Banji Ghalin.
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: Cannaval contract.
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: I like to talk about the song and it's hard like nail.
- 1:27:59Speaker 6: I just gotta get vexed one time and me want to listen to this song and it's hard like nail.

- 1:30:41Speaker 1: But next year we in I see kind of a director, my music director sorry, you don't make Lost Tribe video, and so on.
