[VIDEO] Kes The Band – Endless Summer
Watch Kes The Band’s official music video ‘Endless Summer’
[Video] – Differentology by Bunji Garlin
Differentology is not just a song, it’s a movement. It’s the soul of Trinidad and Tobago’s Jouvert.
According to Bunji Garlin, the master artiste behind this year’s hit, “This is just a music video – it’s not a movie, but it’s not the typical music video where there’s just a lot of dancing. There’s a story line. This video depicts man coming to life from nothingness to the formation of past, present and what will come in the future. It’s not a hard story from beginning to end- there’s still some freeness to it. I hope you enjoy.”

ROOTI Dolls アフリカ人形
Most dolls on the market are made with one black skin tone which does not properly represent the range of Africans’ colours, according to ROOTI Dolls founders Chris and Ada Ngoforo. They wanted to find a solution to the growing issue of African children around the Diaspora and on the continent not being aware of their mother tongue. ROOTI Dolls expose children to their mother tongue and culture at an early stage and help promote a “positive self-image”, says Mr. Ngoforo.
There are 12 African ROOTI Dolls from different African countries. The Keza Girl ROOTI Doll represents Zambia and Zimbabwe and speaks 4 major languages (Shona, Ndebele, Bemba and Nyanja) from those countries. There is also a range of Caribbean ROOTI Dolls that will speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch.

Machel Montano – The Fog
The King of Soca, Machel Montano, has just released the video to The Fog, one his most popular Soca songs for the Trinidad & Tobago Carnival 2013 season. The fog is the powder and mud that is flung on revelers during the wild J’ouvert fetes.

Romie – The Legend Party
The world is small indeed! The sweet sounds of Soca have finally reached the shores of Nihon aka The Land of the Rising Sun. Singer, Romie (ro-mee-eh), is one of Japan’s top groovy artists trying to make it a household genre on the island nation. Reggae from Jamaica has had a heavy influence on Japanese youth culture but so far Trinidad & Tobago Soca has yet to make its mark.
Carifrique.com and Ronnie & Caro Mas Band have invited Romie and DJ Hemo to perform for their masqueraders and shoot their next video on Carnival Tuesday (February 12, 2013). Join us on the road in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad!
