Bunji releases the Differentology video

After 3 months of waiting, here it is, Bunji Garlin's official Differentology video. The song became an anthem to so many during Trinidad Carnival 2013, and now with a slew of remixes and re-works, it is certain to be played at many a fete for the remaider of the year.

Sure enough, soon after the video's release online this morning, the comments started coming in, both positive and negative, regarding the video itself.  Check it out below and decide for yourself if it does the song justice.

Carnival Mix #97 - Soca Radio Show - May.15.2013

On the show this week we countdown to Calgary's Carifest. We also unfortunately found out that Patrice Roberts postponed her Edmonton show soon after we got off-air last week (the show is now re-scheduled to Sept according to her Facebook page.) The good news is that we also heard that Blaxx will be in Edmonton now on June 22nd.

Add that to Skinny Fabulous on June 8th for Carifest, our J'ouvert party, and the Carnival Parade, and June is going to be 'jam-packed'. The show features more new music from Barbados, St. Vincent, Antigua and St.Lucia plus the latest team up from Kes and Konshens. For all the events coming up, check out our events page  Enjoy!

Carnival Mix #96 - Patrice Roberts Mix - May.08.2013

We had been anticipating the Patrice Roberts show in Edmonton for some weeks now and decided to dedicate the entire hour to showcasing her music.  It wasn't until the following morning that we found out from "Hot Box Inc" that the show had been postponed now until Sept. 14.  Regardless, we had a great time and even had a chance to squeeze in a few new songs in the mix as well.  This one is definitely for Patrice Roberts fans though.  Enjoy!
