If you are living away from Trinidad and Tobago and still yearn for the life you left behind, we are about to make you cry and reminisce about the "Ole Time Days". I just gave you a cheap plug to remember Nappy Myers' song, which tends to make emigrated Trinis cry. Today is a new day and with it comes another reason to shed a tear for the life you left behind. Today we present you with a tearjerker written and sung by legendary steel pan musician, composer and arranger Ray Holman; the song is entitled, "Sweet Island Memories". This nostalgic song, along with nine other tracks, comes from the album "First Love."

 

Our goal is to bring back sweet memories. It is not meant to cause sadness but to help you recall all the pleasant memories growing up in Trinidad and Tobago created. This feeling and memory will be better appreciated by those who grew up in Trinidad during the 60's, 70's and 80's. Times have changed and the fun of hanging out with friends in any neighborhood is now fraught with unknown danger lurking and waiting to create sadness. This song, presented here today, will surely make you smile and even shed a tear.  Definitely one to repeat. Enjoy!

 

Our goal is to help promote the music and culture of our Caribbean artists. The singers, musicians, producers, songwriters, and all those involved in the creative process. Together we can promote and spread the culture by sharing these posts on all social media platforms.
