MONTANO, MINSHALL, MASSASSINATION !

Yes people it's the triple 'M' threat!
Both the the baddest Soca artist of a generation, and the works of the baddest mas man of another, feature on the baddest blog for the first time in one post!
HA HAAA!
I just liked the sound of  that...but yes Minshall and Montano came together again as part of Montano's winning 2012 Groovy Soca Monarch performance of 'Mr Fete'. The  performance featured the world famous 'Tan Tan and Saga Boy' and a 'sun burst' by Peter Minshall, you also see an appearance of the legendary Calypso Rose and the lovely Rachel Price.

Can't Done - 3 Canal 2012 Soca Mayaro Carnival Launch 2012 Trinidad and Tobago

One of my friends sent me the link to this video on facebook. The video is of  Mayaro's 2012 Carnival launch in south east Trinidad. There are some beautiful traditional carnival characters in this video, for me its one of the best videos of the year, it truly captures the spirit of carnival and the wealth in tradition. The music of 3 Canal's cant done only made it sweeter. Great work Trini Mummy  you got my vote with this one!

Machel Montano at the CALO festival: 20:08:2011

Benjai  in action at CALO.

Now a lot is being said about the CALO festival  held over the past weekend and I don't know all the facts, but what I will say is that besides the short comings of which there is a growing list, I thought the entertainment  rocked. Between Friday night with Roy Cape featuring Blacks and Benjai, then Krosfyah  and Kes the band. To 3canal and  Machel  on Saturday I had a ball some of the best partying I've done in a while in London.
I will touch on the other stuff later.
For now here's some action from the King of Soca Mr H.D. Machel Montano.
