ETIENNE CHARLES is PERFECTLY POSITIONED to GLOBALIZE the TRINIDAD MUSIC -- especially so with some CROSS-OVER COMPOSITIONS.
... but I would like to see him integrate some of the MODERN SOCA in one of his compositions and lean a little MORE COMMERCIAL!!! Or at least DEVELOP a YOUNG ARTISTE in that direction ... if he feels that his musical message has to maintain a CERTAIN PURITY.
