Chairman of the School’s Intellectual National Carnival Chutney Soca Monarch competition wants young people to bring change to the artform.
Dr Vijai Ramlal said the deliberate use of the word “intellectual” in the title of the competition was meant to challenge meaningful compositions of songs.
“The adult version of the competition leaves a lot to be desired with its lyrical content,” he said.
This is EXACTLY what I have been saying about THIS MUSIC for the longest while. If they put a little thought into the PRODUCTION and the LYRICS -- there is NO TELLING how far this music could go. There is a MASSIVE GLOBAL audience that could be captured with THIS TRINI GENRE.
This CHAIRMAN is a VISIONARY. Too bad I may not live long enough to see this new generation -- of writers and performers -- that he is directing TAKE THE MUSIC TO THE WORLD.
