In a unique circumstance Carnival 2014 will coincide with the creation of a new "MINISTRY OF ROAD".	

This is the dream of Machel Montano and Precision Productions, as they team up with P.A.G.E and 1ndividual Aesthetic to launch the campaign for the establishment of this Ministry via the release of their Power Soca theme song "MINISTRY OF ROAD". It also marks the beginning of the King of Soca’s candidacy for the "MINISTER OF THE ROAD". 

The vibrant song, with its exhilarating lyrics, represents in the purest form, the voice of masqueraders, whose call for M.O.R will be soundly reverberated this Carnival season. A musical campaign has been built solidly upon one simple slogan, which embodies the manifesto of the movement:

"WE WANT M.O.R!!!" 
Essentially the MINISTRY OF ROAD’s mission is to execute the following directives received from our beloved masqueraders.

ONE

To expand the parade route and allotted time for masqueraders to overtake the streets for Carnival.

TWO

To alter the parade routes eradicating masquerader traffic, especially when approaching the savannah and alongside the Port of Spain General Hospital.

THREE

To increase the time masqueraders are permitted to occupy the grand stage.
 

The launch of M.O.R (MINISTRY OF ROAD) is only the beginning of this Carnival-long melodic crusade that will culminate on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th of March in a victory rally throughout the twin isles of Trinidad and Tobago.	

Look out for even M.O.R as our candidate hits the campaign trail and we give you the one portfolio and ministry you will never get enough of.

One thing must be understood above all else; the deep connection between Soca-lovers, masqueraders, pan-people, and our Carnival, is unequivocally, true love.

The kind of bond secured in the knowledge that no matter how far one side may roam, she will always “Come Back” home.

This emotional tie with our beloved festival, is a relationship both Destra Garcia and Monk Monté have showcased in their music individually, and also particularly when they have work together.

Luckily for their fans, the King of the Road and the Queen of Bacchanal have once again combined to bring to life that intrinsic devotion, which unifies millions around the globe in song.

Sure to send spirits soaring in glee with its vivid rhythms, the track is produced by Stadic Studio Productions.

While Sagaboyz, Machel, and Destra worked jointly to soulfully describe this one of a kind bountiful relationship that could never end.

As the release illustrates, Carnival may only be here for two days, but with the inspiration she brings, the fidelity she inflames, and the ecstasy she blankets our islands with, it is easy to see why year after year, she eternally remains our one true love.

Machel Montano & Destra - "Come Back" (Prod. by Stadic)

Carnival is a festival which evokes a spirit of togetherness and love among our people. The lyrics and melody of Soca foster an inexplicable yet welcomed camaraderie among strangers and strengthen the bonds among friends. The essence of Carnival mirrors that of a NEIGHBOURHOOD – where people of different backgrounds, who are now in close proximity to each other, unite to create lasting memories, share experiences and have fun. 
Neighbour, the first release for 2015 from Deeper Than Soca’s artist Sedale, does just that - it appeals to our sense of community and encourages us to party as one; to immerse in this unique bond which is fueled by the passion of the people, the rhythm of the music and the aura of the Season. Yes, “Bounce on your neighbour, hail up your neighbour, drink with your neighbour, because Carnival is the time to come together!”
