This is a great LAUNCHING PAD achieved through the passion and tireless efforts of Vishma Ramcharita and Nishard Mayrhoo.
As a REAL TRINIDADIAN, I don't care if it is CHUTNEY or PAN or SOCA that goes beyond our boundary and out to the WORLD WIDE WEB of ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS.
On the objective side of this SUCCESS, I don't think that that CORNER OF THE WORLD would appreciate PAN MUSIC -- but CHUTNEY-SOCA (if it is properly thought out and produced) has the ingredients to make its mark IN A BIG WAY with THIS PARTICULAR AUDIENCE.
CONGRATULATIONS to Vishma Ramcharita and Nishard Mayrhoo!!!

Aquil: The new PNM MINISTER OF CULTURE just come and he HANDING MONEY LEFT and RIGHT to PAN AND CALYPSO CULUTRE -- why should they GET UP AND GET.
When ROWLEY came into office, the first thing he did was CUT THE CHUTNEY-SOCA BUDGET down NINETY PERCENT. So DEM INDIANS had to stand on DEY OWN TWO LEGS.
If I was DEM INDIANS -- when the FOREIGN EXCHANGE DOLLARS start to flow ... I would not even bring it back to TRINIDAD. I would leave it INDIA or THE USA or CANADA or ENGLAND.
If dem SOCA-CHUTNEY fellahs play their cards right -- they could break through BIG IN THE GLOBAL MUSIC TING.
