BWC Introducing-  The Winning Entry - Hotch

Babwah Entertainments - Where do we start? Two brothers with parents from the beautiful island of Trinidad & Tobago who migrated to #ME7 Medway. They had 4 children, the smartest being Ricky and the most popular one Nicky. The other two, no one knows who they are.

 

Anyway, music was, all they had, it was in the blood, the brothers were influence by the Caribbean vibe and the UK upbringing meaning UK Garage, House, Funky, Grime & DnB were part of the daily music listening. The true love really came as they grew older and were able to travel back to their parents’ home country and listen to Soca, Dancehall, Reggae, Chutney & Calypso. The variety of music influence shows through as the sound is so versatile in mixing genres and adapting the music style dependent on the party. They can’t help but drop some Soca in a Garage rave or Dancehall in a DnB dance after all it’s in the blood!
