Shurwayne Winchester Shuts Down Millennium Highway- Set To Release 5th C2K12 Single

Soca artiste, Shurwayne Winchester

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 2, 2011--------Dyamic. Versatile. Energetic. 

Those were the words that best described Shurwayne Winchester’s most recent performances. 
On the heels of cable network, Flow’s Christmas party on Saturday, November 26th, Shurwayne 
rolled solo at Woodford Café where he dished out much more than many would’ve expected. Excited for Christmas and the subsequent carnival season ahead, Shurwayne says he’s pulling out the stops and going hard into both seasons as he has nothing to lose.  

“I’m an entertainer,” said the notably relaxed soca superstar last week Saturday night. He had 

been explaining why his repertoire consists of such varying musical items, to an audience that simply wanted more. The event, which took place at the Hyatt Hotel was merely one of a number of Christmas functions Shurwayne and his band of three years, Y.O.U. have been contracted to perform at. He’s a favourite when it comes to events of this nature and that undoubtedly stems from his ability to vocally enforce any genre of music- from hip-hop to dancehall, reggae and of course calypso and soca. His first ever soca parang single, “When 

Christmas Come Around” was a hit at both Flow’s Christmas Party and Woodford Café last week, however it was at Hyatt where he utilized the comical appeal of television personality, Philo, that fans of the artiste truly got a true taste of what he can bring, when he truly decides to go hard.  

On both nights, audience members shouted flatteries, screamed with joy and called for more, 

and that in itself was all that was needed for more to be delivered by the former double Road 

March champ. From Work It to Wine On It, Jiggle It Reloaded and Wining Addict- his music 

ahead of Carnival 2012 continues to be enjoyed by fans and soca lovers. Shurwayne says he 

plans on releasing a power single next but hasn’t dished on whether that would be before or 

after the Christmas season. Most recently, he was in St. Lucia shooting the video for Work It where 

he reportedly shut down the entire Millennium Highway for three hours to shoot the scenes. 

It’s just what happens when he’s bent on getting things right. In 2012, Shurwayne is promising 

plenty vibes, plenty fun and a lot of great music for revelers to enjoy. 

Saute´Trinbago In Full Swing- S.O.E. Won't Stop The Celebration!

LinkMe Limited's Shelly Ann Hee Chung

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. September 12, 2011---------- Nothing will stand in the way of Saute´ Trinbago 2011. So say organisers who, after days of discussion have agreed that Saute´ has and will continue to be a true celebration of Trinbago culture. Event organisers say Saute´is being held at a time when it is certainly needed, as it will provide an escape for Trinbagonians who may be disheartened by the current climate on the island.  

On September 25th, just one day after the country celebrates Republic Day, Saute´ Trinbago will provide a spectacular showcase of not just the sights, sounds and tastes of the multicultural island paradise, but also a prophecy of what lies in wait for the country. Organisers of Saute´ Trinbago are using this event to push for a better Trinbago, saying that it 

is only with a unified push, can peace and compassion return to the hearts and minds of T&T nationals. Already a number of sponsors have thrown their support behind the event, among them, Bmobile, Caribbean Airlines, Hilton Trinidad, Heineken, Blue Waters, Chivas, Lucozade,Angostura Cocktails and Flavourite just to name a few.  

With planning in full swing, Shelly Ann Hee Chung of LinkMe Limited, the company that is 

entrusted with PR and Media for the event, is guaranteeing a truly all-inclusive cultural 

experience from 2pm to 9pm on September 25th.  Hee Chung says patrons will get the full 

works at this year’s Saute´, especially since adjustments to the schedule have been made in light 

of the implemented curfew hours in T&T. “We’ve brought the time forward a bit, which will 

allow for patrons to arrive early and enjoy the delightful array of food, the ambience and of 

course Machel Montano!,” she said excitedly.  

The Road March and Soca Monarch king will be a part of this year’s entertainment lineup, as 

will 2011 Chutney Monarch king, Rikki Jai, the reputed Mungal Patasar and the rhythmic Neal 

and Massy Steel Orchestra. “It will be an event to break the strains of the past few weeks, 

something that families can come out to and truly become engrossed in. It’s just one day after 

Republic Day and we believe Trinidad and Tobago must be celebrated for its rich and diverse 

culture and the people who make the island what it is- no matter what,” said Hee Chung.  

In the past two years, Saute´ Trinbago has set a precedence for being a truly all-encompassing 

delivery of T&T’s cultural splendours and while it started off as a showcase of Trinbago’s 

tastes, the event has come full circle, delivering to patrons much more than they expect each 

year. According to Hee Chung, there’s really no reason anyone should miss this extravagant 

celebration – in fact she dares true Trinbagonians to miss it, saying they’ll certainly live to regret such a decision. “ This is about us as a people of varying backgrounds. This is where we’ll all stand proud as Trini’s to show the world that even amid chaos, we’re a united people who love our country. This is where we all have to be on September 25- Saute´Trinbago,” said Hee Chung. With tickets already available at a number of locations including B Mobile flagship stores nationwide, Woodford Café Port-of-Spain and Chaguanas and from committee members, anyone still left with questions are invited to call the Saute´ Trinbago hotline at 74- SAUTE´ (747-2883).


“ There’ll also be a lot of opportunities for people to win tickets on Ebony 104FM and Heartbeat 103.5FM, as the day draws closer,” said an anxious Hee Chung.

What Could Bunji Garlin Be Up To?

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. June 27, 2011----- T&T soca artiste, Bunji Garlin has posted an interesting message on his twitter page. 

Following his performance at the Basia Beat Breast Cancer concert last evening, the artiste rose early on Monday morning only to reveal that his time of change had arrived.

What this is all about- is left to be seen and known but one thing he made very clear was his intention to reveal all at Woodford Cafe, Movie Town on Tuesday night!!!

In recent months, Bunji, who for Carnival 2011, gave his audiences much to enjoy, changed his appearance, cutting off the long rasta hairstyle he'd donned for many years.
                                                                                    Now, what's to come is but a mystery... however,

                                                                                    ET-CET-ERA Buzz is on top of it!!! 

                                                                                    Stay tuned for more... 

Still Fresh, Even Hotter and Celebrating Just 2 Years!!!

P.O.S. Trinidad- Oct 20----
So by now, the name Shurwayne Winchester and Y.O.U would've created a dent in your brain. They've done pretty well in the past two years and there's no sign the Arima, Trinidad crew's anywhere close to cooling down!


As Carnival 2011 approaches, the vibe is on point for them to create the perfect tidal wave the industry needs right now!
Before that though, they will celebrate another chapter... another year. 


On November 2nd, the Woodford Cafe again welcomes Shurwayne Winchester & Y.O.U. in what will be the band's second anniversary since they came on the scene. For Shurwayne of course, music has been life... and he's definitely got the experience to know what's necessary going forward and what really isn't. That experience is certainly a plus for the band and its members who are assured daily, that with this team, there's no giving up!


On the horizon thereafter though, something BIG can be expected.... a Caribbean collaboration, the likes of which will send real revelers into a frenzy... In the meantime, join the band in celebration on November 2nd at Woodford Cafe, Movie Town... 
Come have a time... party and understand why this musical crew is what the industry truly needs to expose what's great about T&T now and for the future......
