Arima Borough Day To Be "WETA" In 2011

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. July 15, 2011---------- There's a buzz around the borough of Arima and environs. Not only is the ground talking about their traditional Borough Day celebrations but once again, with higher expectations, the ground is chatting about, and busily planning for an event carded for August 6 at the Arima Velodrome. 


Trinidad and Tobago's leading urban frequency, Boomchampions 94.1FM has revealed plans to host the second edition of their "WET" fete, this year calling is "WETA"- an acronym for Water Is Everything Again. Last year, thousands gathered at Mario's car park in Arima, anxious to get a glimpse of their favourite radio personalities and local stars- among them Marlon Asher and the High Grade Family, Denise Belfon, The Millionaire Family, Squeezy Rankin, Lawless, Terri Lyons and many others. This year, the cast of entertainers billed to perform at the newly acquired venue, is familiar but added to that will be two of Jamaica's leading female acts, Lady Saw and Pampute. 


Organisers of the Trini "summer" event are saying this one's going to be huge, with 200,000 gallons of water being brought into the Arima stadium to ensure the theme is constant throughout the night! Tickets for WETA went on sale from July 15 at the cost of $100 for a limited time. Persons wishing to get the earlybird tickets were being encouraged to contact 223- BOOM for details.

SHURWAYNE GUARANTEES- NO TWO SHOWS WILL BE THE SAME!!!!

He says his performances will only get better because he takes the good critique with the bad. Fire Fete was the medium for his unit’s first major showcase after just one year together and already, the buzz has begun- ‘ Shurwayne Winchester & YOU is the band to resurrect the sweetness of the season.’

A tight performance filled with energy, momentum, adrenaline and moments of theatrical intrigue took revelers on a high that many have complained, has been lost in recent carnival experiences. His unit- the musicians whose one year journey has already proven positive, are relishing the joy of being able to collaboratively inject good sounding music, into the season. Their cohesion, not just as musicians, but also as friends, showed on stage at Fire Fete, and coupled with their leader’s appreciation for the fulfillment of a dream, Shurwayne Winchester & YOU will prove to be a spectacle of energy, vibe and action, within carnival 2010. Last Saturday night at St. John’s Hall, two tracks caused the most positive commotion- Lonely Road and Behind the Truck, proving that what’s heard on the airwaves and what’s essentially experienced at carnival fetes, could never be the same. Flag crews felt the music, felt the energy and with no hesitation, they unleashed the joy felt from the music generated by the band.

Their 2010 hits, Murdah, Jammers, Lonely Road, Behind De Truck, Gyal Wine Up – along with those countless others that the world has lapped up from season to season, has given this soca sensation enough to ride the wave of carnival, into the sunset. Now, he looks to the rest of the season, knowing and understanding that with each show, revellers will expect more… for this reason he guarantees, “ No two shows will ever be the same!”

Now, Shurwayne Winchester and YOU gear up for WASA Fete, Army Fete, Brass- The Rebirth and the many other fetes that truly make T&T’s carnival, The Greatest Show On Earth. To know what’s going on in their world, log on to www.shurwaynewinchester.com.

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!
