Shurwayne Winchester- Lone T&T Soca Act To Perform At Global Fusion Festival Tomorrow

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. July 15, 2011------------- The fifth annual Global Fusion Festival is preparing for a monster performance from Trinidad and Tobago’s very own soca headlining act, Shurwayne Winchester. The festival, which dominates the entertainment circuit in Philadelphia for an entire week, kicked off on July 11 and will end on Sunday, July 17.  

Winchester, T&T’s lone musical representative at the Global Fusion festival this year, will take 

the stage on Saturday, July 16 along with Canadian R&B singer, Malanie Fiona and other 

international musicians, many of whom may have never experienced the soca genre live, and will, for the fist time at this phenomenal event.  

Other acts at the festival include British Grammy award winner, Estelle and U.S born Grammy nominee, Anthony David. Commenting on the opportunity, Shurwayne said, “Our mission is first enjoyment as we are doing something we love and then stamping positively who we are as a band, and where we’re from. It's great to be shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest acts, on a stage of this nature and we’ll proudly represent our culture as we spread soca music to a global audience.” 

Shurwayne recently left his mark in Germany when he performed at the Soca Twins’ birthday 

bash in Berlin. He also erupted before audiences in St. John and Jamaica, leaving thousands with 

a lasting impression of why he has been crowned the International Groovy and Power Soca 

Monarch on numerous occasions. Supporters of Shurwayne’s music can eagerly anticipate his 

vocals on a track to which a video was recently shot outside of T&T. The name of that soon to 

be released single is “Wine On It”- a sentiment that will undoubtedly cast the “Paradisin” singer 

in a different light, one that certainly goes against tradition. Beyond that, Winchester has 

recorded a track on a new riddim out of Jamaica which also features artistes like Beenie Man, 

Gyptian and Wayne Marshall.

RACHEL PRICE HITS NEW YORK!

On Memorial Day May 30th, the humour of the Caribbean will infiltrate the city of New York. Brooklyn will be transformed into Priceless headquarters as Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean’s leading female comedian, Rachel Price brings her show to the Big Apple.

Set to be hosted at the Tropical Paradise Ballroom - 1367 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, from 6pm, the show is expected to be a guaranteed sold out affair.

Online, a Facebook event page, created to promote and inform patrons, has already amassed tremendous interest, with most saying they’ve purchased their tickets and can’t wait for the holiday thrill. 

Price, whose Priceless Promotions has been kicking up a storm across the Caribbean and internationally for quite some time, brings a very real, unapologetic air to comedy. Her use of practical scenarios, most of which includes herself, friends, corporate entities, politicians and even her daughter, who she fondly refers to as ‘ The Jew,’ for her love of money, have placed Rachel Price at the top of her game.

On May 8th, Trinidad’s Hyatt Hotel played host to the comedian, as she gave mothers a treat, one day prior to the Mother’s Day celebration. Her sexuality coupled with her sleek comedic style gave all in the audience much to laugh about and be intrigued by.

On May 30th, Brooklyn will experience something utterly phenomenal as Priceless roars into town. Tickets for the show are available at almost every Caribbean hotspot, including Foreign Accent Barber Shop, Gloria’s Three, Best Bite, Allan’s Bakery, JW Records, VP Records in Queens and even King’s Roti Shop on Liberty Avenue.

Therapy Launches Car Show....

It’s time to ‘love up we culture.’

Youths in T&T and across the Caribbean are chanting to the beat of their respective nationalities more these days and this is due in part to the great music being unleashed to the masses from all islands. Not only has Jamaica penetrated the minds of Caribbean people but so has St. Vincent, Barbados and now, with the emergence of some very talented youths, Trinidad and Tobago is proving a force, too.

From the belly of the island’s central criminal point, Morvant Laventille- comes a young man who’s bent on eliminating negativity from his language, his way of life and that of his peers. Fresh and ready to take on anything, Therapy, real name- Hayden Peters, is this week unveiling another pivotal track that’ll soon prove essential to his overall elevation.

From the heat of the 2010 Carnival season in Trinidad and Tobago where he released, “Stand Up,” an outcry for the youths to take their lives in a different direction, he’s now relaxing a bit, in a bid to teach the youths and the older heads too, just how much positively engaging fun can be experienced in life.

“ Car Show,” his latest contribution to T&T’s local crossover genre is not only catchy, but the track, which was produced by Klase Gonzales of First Klase Production Studio in T&T, is easy on the ear, relatable and as mentioned above, creates an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment. Already, Therapy has aligned himself with a local car-show promoter to ensure his song penetrates the masses at the namesake event.

With the help of his management team and local publicity firm, ET-CET-ERA The Company, the artiste is bent on taking his music beyond radio stations, but also into regional venues and certainly the advertising market. Coupled with his strong intent and the support of the promotional entity who will on Saturday, May 1^st and Saturday May 8^th, host Cars Reloaded in St. Helena, Trinidad and Extreme Machines in Malabar, respectively, the journey to great musical accomplishment is certainly underway.            

 

Thankful for the support of the DJ’s and mic men who’ve held fast to the promotion of T&T’s music, Therapy says, “ music is in me, in my soul… I can provide it, I just need the masses to hear it and the sky’s going to be the limit!”

The Pace Is On- Shurwayne & Y.O.U. Are Ready!

On a high from a truly euphoric Carnival 2010 season in T&T, Shurwayne Winchester and YOU are now gearing up for the Tobago Jazz Experience later this month.

Like previous years, this event,  which is staged in the Pigeon Point area of the sister isle, demands  that Shurwayne and his team of well endowed musicians, captivate the masses, who travel from across the world,  to see, feel and experience jazz, elements of soca and the vibe of one of the Caribbean’s most exotic destintions.

Having held their own this past Carnival season, Shurwayne and the unit of musicians who make up YOU, were, according to orgnisers, a necessary inclusion to the cast which includes, the soulful Chaka Khan and the Queen of Neo-Soul, Erykah Badu. “ I always look forward to being a part of shows like these,” said Shurwayne. He says he knows the power of these singers, the appeal they have and with his band, he plans on providing that added desire to the lineup.

Shurwayne and YOU will perform at The Pigeon Point Heritge Park on Friday April 23rd, sharing the stage with Lord Nelson, 3 Canal, Mavis John, Dil-E-Nadan, Ziggy Rankin, Fire Empress and Erykah Badu. With a number of selections currently being rehearsed for the show, Shurwayne and YOU are hard at work.


Last weekend the band performed in Jamaica, at the end of Jamaica's carnival celebrations. Following the Jazz Experience which runs from April 22- 25, the team pushes on to events in the Cayman Islands, North America and other regional and International carnival destinations.

The Template's Set!

Super Jigga TC released yet another C2k10 track this morning- this time though, he did it exclusively on the BOOM Champions 94.1FM's Taxi Stand with AV St. Hill, Ken and Gonzo. "The Template" will not be played on any other frequency for the duration of the official release day and according to TC, this decision was made after considering the longstanding relationship he's had with the BOOM. He explained that the song was specifically geared to the 8-25 year old demographic that he's attracted over the years via his work on Synergy TV and most recently within the Soca industry.

The track has that Colin Lucas kinda feel but with its catchy lyrics, the song's almost guaranteed to blow up in the coming days. The fast melody, along with the hook, " Start Jumping Up, Start Waving Up" will undoubtedly be easy on the memory for many young fans- a trick that TC has held fast too, in recent years.

"The Template" was recorded back in August and Jigga himself explained that he now has butterflies upon facing the reality that the project was in fact, quite costly. Produced by Neil Bernard out of T&T, it comes just weeks before the release of something even bigger- a mixtape for the masses. Along with a few of the industry's notables, among them Shurwayne Winchester, Tony Matterhorn, Iwer George, Skinny Fabulous and Terri Lyons- The King Of Swag will release the mixtape, also coined, "The Template," free of charge at popular hotspots around T&T. Packaging will include a poster of the local TV star himself along with other tidbits to bring the fans running.

He's on a course of no regret and coupled with compassion for the people who listen to what he brings, Super Jigga TC is coming hard with some 11 tracks for Carnival next year! Look out T&T, Look Out WORLD- The King Of Swag's Coming Your Way!

Tony P's On His Way To India!

Tony Prescott’s on his way to India. The T&T soca artiste who just last month dropped his first C2K10 offering, “ Sailing,” has been chosen by the Trinidad and Tobago High Commission to travel to the subcontinent as part of a 16 member contingent who will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in India.

Tony and his compatriots, inclusive of 3 Canal, limbo dancers, steel pan players and chutney singers and dancers are scheduled to depart local shores on Monday, November 2nd and return on November 14th.

The Trinidad and Tobago Entertainment Company is credited by Prescott for its ambitious strive in ensuring that the contingent selected, is capable of providing the perfect showcase of local arts and culture. Prescott who in April was hand picked to deliver a performance at the welcome ceremony during the Fifth Summit of the Americas, will take to India, his all time soca hit, “ All Aboard” along with his 2009/2010 high seas anthem, “ Sailing.”

Upon his return from India, the pace will continue as hot on the heels of that journey, Prescott’s promotional entity, Lollipop Promotions will host a cruise- simply titled, “ Sailing Away.” There’s no slowing down for this culture lover and as the Carnival season comes into focus, Tony’s assuring a whole lot more than many would expect.
