Baron - Christmas Medley

Back to the seasonal theme, here's Baron covering a lot of ground including Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Tiny Winy

Interrupting this Christmas segment to post the original Tiny Winy... Kanchan's wonderful ripoff is here.

Freddie McGregor - Feliz Navidad

More Freddie McGregor here...

June Lodge - Joy To The World

Took me a while to find this...

Pablo Black - Silent Night

Continuing with the Christmas theme...

Roy Shirley & Peter Cambell - Jingle Bells

Very nice, laid back version...

Freddie McGregor - Come All Ye Faithful

Probably my favorite Christmas song... there's a better reggae version out there somewhere but this is all I could find.

Jacob Miller - Wish You A Merry Christmas

Getting in the spirit of the season now... Christmas songs have beautiful melodies which sound especially good with a drum'n'bass backdrop. Reminds me of Hawthorne street days when the Medgar Evers College radio station would play lots of this stuff around Christmas time...

Drupatee Ramgoonai - Roll up de Tassa

Remember this, Bisesar? First Chutney Soca I ever heard--I thought you sent me the cassette, no?

Babla and Kanchan - Tiny Winy

Catchy...

Sonny Mann - Lotay La

Winner of the first Chutney Soca competition in 1996. The audio is not great here, but the only better one I could find is a remix, and this original version is better. The customary ripoff from bollywood is here.

And here is a fascinating article by Kim Johnson on the Indo and Afro currents in Trini music, well worth reading.

Calypso Rose - Fire In Me Wire

The fabulous Calypso Rose... also featured here with Roaring Lion

Sundar Popo - Nana & Nani

Aage Aage Nana Chale
Nani goin behind
Nana drinkin white rum and
Nani drinkin wine...
