But it will not be with an Akiba Joseph’s arrangement of Tambu’s No No we eh going home.”
Instead, the tune will be arranged by two players Aaron Perreira and Richie Joseph with some help from Tony Williams.
While Keiron Valentine said that the band started practising Atiba’s arrangement in December and would follow through, that did not materialize.
Atiba, who was awaiting a payment, said he received a call on January 11th to prepare the band, but he opted out thinking there was not enough time.
The panyard was opened up again last Monday, January 21st, just eight days before the reigning champs will be judged in the panyard on January 29th. Newtown Playboyz first won the title in 2017, mere months after the band was formed. It was a breakaway from Brian Kuei Tung's Woodbrook Playboyz and repeated in 2018 with Carlon Harewood (now Vice President of Pan Trinbago ) as the arranger.
