We'll be on the lookout for upcoming events from STL and Live For The Moment entertainment.

Best of Trinidad Carnival 2016 - Mix 2 of 2

This is 2nd half of this year's monster mix of music celebrating Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2016. Outside of the big hits there were quite a few 'riddims' that had our heads nodding all season long. And as much as 'Groovy' dominated the airwaves, there were a few 'Power' songs of note as well (including this year's Road March)
