Nava and Machel Montano - Festival

From left to right and all around, this is when gyrating mid-sections will be in abundance. Hidden within the masses though, is one whose timing, arc, and balance lines up perfectly with yours, enough that on first sight, all plans for the entire season immediately shift.

Monk Monté introduces his long time friend and protégé Pranava “Nava” Maharaj to such bounty, in this collaborative effort “Festival”. Fans will remember Nava as the youngest winner of the cultural competition Mastana Bahar, and also as a frequent performer onstage beside Machel.

Their voices and energies work harmoniously together in this song, while they describe the laser-focus maintained as well as yearning experienced when the perfect wining partner is found.

David Sheppard of Sheppard Pro Productions, Pranava and Alex “Kubiyashi” Barnwell produced the bouncy groove filling it with a refreshing and hypnotic essence, giving the world a track made to stimulate the coveted coupling, which readily transforms a good Carnival into one with legendary status.
Once again with his investment in upcoming talent the Monk expands the enjoyment of masqueraders and ensures that great music will continue to flow from our isles for many years to come.

Machel Montano - On My Way

Stripped bare, unburdened by assumptions, and laid before the world to see, Monk Monté unveils a release and accompanying video, that shares the spiritual journey he has taken from his first breath of life to this very moment in time. The story follows the evolution from a young boy starting in the Pyramids of Mother Africa, making his way full circle back to the Trinity Hills of his current home in Trinidad & Tobago, paying respect to all the magical steps along the way.

The evolution of self is personified through the characters in the video, two of which are played by Machel's very own son and father.

The moving number, “On My Way”, is a soulful tale and tribute to the land and musical culture, Machel was predestined to arise from and grow within.

Powerful lyrics intertwined with riveting drums and emotional visuals, paint a poignant picture of heritage alongside an innate connection to the birthplace of Soca.

Springing from this music, produced by Starblu and co-written by Tishon Singh & Machel Montano, is that intangible warmth, and effervescent joy these islands are well known for.

This is a track which will touch hearts and lead souls to sing in euphoric frenzy, as they celebrate the blessing of just being alive right here and right now.

The video and song was launched on CNC3, one of Trinidad & Tobago's premier national broadcasters.

On My Way | Machel Montano | Soca 2015

Official 2015 Trinidad Carnival release from Soca artist Machel Montano - "Jump" featuring Fatman Scoop and Papa Jay!

Consider yourself officially warned.

The Monk Monté is hitting you with a London Future club banger that is so hard, when it smashes onto the airwaves, your entire body will be compelled to “Jump”!

Make no mistake, its bass will hammer across your spine firing up your limbs until they pump incessantly to the electrifying melodies.

Also adding his raucous flavour to this one is Hip-Hop Legend Fatman Scoop, who incites listeners with his distinctive booming vocals, belting out commands and pushing everyone into that untouchable nuclear zone.

All of this is a lot of power for just a single track, but yet, there is more to it.

This release also serves as the Soca initiation of one of the youngest but most skilled all-around entertainers in the world today. Actor, comedian, dancer, and rapper Papa Jay slams into his first Carnival with bold lyrics and a fresh style, which are sure to charm, even as he whips the crowd into a furor.

Be prepared, because as this drops, nothing will ever be the same again.
