This exciting song, recorded at Cadence Studio, brings the energy with high-powered beats and the spirit of carnival. We have a positive feeling about this music release and can only imagine the people on the road jumping up to "Coming Alive." We have always admired the smooth vocals of Tian Winter, but for this one, he lets loose and brings the energy needed for those who would be attending fetes across Antigua and Barbuda. Could this one be the Road March winner? Let's wait and see how the radio DJs and party animals react to the music release before we can officially declare this as a contender for Road March honors. 

 

So get ready to party and have a lot of fun with this action-filled music release. "Coming Alive" will undoubtedly make an appearance at a festival near you! So are you ready to have a good time? Are you ready to fête? Well, what are you waiting for? Pump up the volume and start 'coming alive' for Carnival 2025 in Antigua and Barbuda!

 

Tian Winter is back with a brand-new Soca anthem, “Coming Alive.” Bursting with a feel-good vibe and unstoppable energy, this high-powered track is all about living in the moment and letting the music take over.

 

Made for the road, the fête, and everything in between, “Coming Alive” is the sound of Soca season leveling up. Get ready to wave your flags and come alive!

It's Easter Sunday, and you may be going to or from church. West Indians can walk and chew gum at the same time, but since it is Easter, we will tone down the music and deliver a Groove Soca mixtape. This release is "The Groovy Must Play Vol. 1" by DJ Turito. 

 

Now let's go on a musical journey together; let's navigate the diverse beats of some of the Caribbean's finest Soca stars. We present a mixtape that was expertly curated and mixed by one of Maryland's finest, DJ Turito. Maryland residents should be proud of one of their sons' work. 

 

So what are you waiting for? Press play and start enjoying some sweet Groove Soca music. The music will show you that this mixtape connects you to the Caribbean. If Grandma's in the car, turn up the music, but be nice and tell her the groove will take her home. 

 

Let the rhythms transport you as you reminisce about family gatherings and sunny days on the beach. It's a celebration of culture and heritage that everyone can enjoy, so let the positive vibes flow and dance like nobody's watching!

Trinidad and Tobago is my homeland, and the culture is rich with stories. Some of those stories are, as my wonderful friend Gailos would say, pure chupidness! However, it is my culture and our culture, and as is the case with Calypso, we will adopt the same modus operandi here with a twist: "With our culture, all stories are told." You don't have to believe it, but we are just having a little fun and telling a story that lives in our culture. So here goes; this one is about the 'Callaloo Conspiracy.' 

 

Marva was a typical young lady living her best life in sweet Trinidad and Tobago. It was during the period of the sixties when calypso music was the king of Carnival. Ole-talk and picong were the norm of the time, and getting things done often involved the help of the local obeah man. Marva was smart and cunning, and she had her sights set on a local player named Winston. He was the neighborhood handyman and was always fixing stuff in people's homes. Like the typical Trinidadian, he had an appetite for pelau, but his favorite was callaloo. Winston's stubbornness often drew comparisons to that of a mule, despite numerous women attempting to court him. That man would not settle down with a good woman. Marva decided that Winston would be hers and conspired to have him. As a matter of fact, she knew exactly how to get that stubborn mule of a man (hmm, something else could be good here...wishful thinking, she mused).

 

Aunt Pearl turned out to be her secret weapon. Who was Auntie Pearl? She was a local Obeah woman who had a reputation for crafting spells so powerful that other Obeah men were in awe of her incantations. Marva went to Auntie Pearl's hut and pushed in the broken wooden door. She bluntly blurted out,  “I need him to be mine.” Marva had a look of determination that put a smile on Auntie Pearl's wrinkled face. Auntie Pearl reacted as if she knew Marva was coming to see her and handed Marva a small Milo can with some powder in it. “Sprinkle the powder into his callaloo,” she instructed. “Once he eats it, he’ll be yours—body, mind, and soul.”

 

Callaloo was Winston's weakness, and Marva was about to set her trap! Later that evening, Marva was cooking; the fragrance of callaloo was in the air, and Winston caught the scent. Winston approached and remarked, "buh a a  neighbor, like yuh cooking something sweet, something that I like!" Marva saw him approaching and added the 'magic ingredient to the callaloo' so the fragrance in the air was good enough to make angels weep... Winston was in trouble, and he was unaware of the magic that would ensnare him. When Winston arrived, he couldn’t resist the aroma. She invited Winston into the kitchen, where he devoured the dish, licking his lips and asking for seconds.

 

The spell worked like magic. By the next morning, Winston had undergone a transformation; he was a changed man. He eagerly followed Marva around, anxious to satisfy her every whim. He became her “beh beh man,” devoted and doting, unable to say no to her requests. Marva basked in her victory, knowing she had turned the village’s most stubborn bachelor into her loyal companion—all thanks to a little Obeah and a pot of callaloo. 

 

If you liked the story and want more, please leave a comment and mention the topic you would like me to explore. I have many friends who would be delighted to share creative ideas to help bring a story to life. Our focus extends beyond music, but we could potentially uncover a calypso to complement the post. So, until I hear from you, keep your manners in check and, above all, pay attention to what you eat!
