New Calypso! A modernization of a too familiar groove and “melanin vibe” that Freetown Collective’s Muhammad Muwakil muses over on this electric Saturday Brunch episode, basking in the after-glow of a successful 2020 Carnival season. The group’s debut Carnival EP entitled ‘YAGO’, released on the ‘other’ side of the soca threshold (a brazen Ash Wednesday morning), pushes the musical artform into the beauty of a honeyed Caribbean vibration. From the euphoric dusk and dawn praise song of ‘Feel the Love’ to the smile-inducing sweetness of ‘Big Man Ting’, all the way down to the sure-footed invocations in ‘We Bad’, Muwakil points towards a glorious imagination for Trinbago music, for the love of its own people and surely then the rest of the world.

Hands up! Don’t let them drop! Keep them up! Unforgettable instructions from his debut performance of ‘Rogue’ in 2010 at Skinner Park, with what Mistah Shak describes as a moment inside the ‘enigmatic energy’ of that ‘big yard’ where the true gatekeepers of kaiso decide who the real champions are. Sharing on his cross-generational connections, earlier hesitations to enter the ring, and his infusion of the craft with messages that challenge power and structure, Shak approaches his expression seriously from creation all the way to presentation. Discussing mentorship, collaboration and a hope towards continued expansion for his fusion work of kasioca, Mistah Shak muses on the duty of the artist to approach the music with sobriety and intention.

Take the culture and make it your own. Revive the old to make something new and beautiful.
Walking faithfully in the legacy of his father Edwin Yearwood, Remy ‘RemBunction’ shares on his work as a ‘culture jammer’, being the creative genius behind countless fascinating collaborations with calypso greats such as Lord Invader, Scrunter, Cro Cro and The Mighty Sparrow. Beyond his artistic tendency towards pushing the limits of Trinbagonian music, in this episode of Saturday Brunch Remy also shares his experience on maintaining authenticity as an all-round creative, actor and animator.

“Recording the History of Trinidad and Tobago”- not exactly what you’d think of as the role of a sound technician, but if sound is a road map through Trinbago time and space, it means that being able to journey through it so fluently, makes one a historian. In this episode of Saturday Brunch we get a look behind the scenes of sound engineering mastery with veteran Robin Foster. Joking about how much of a Sound Jumbie he becomes when he drops into his work, the giant from among other giants discusses how external musical trends such as opera, jazz and soul have influenced tonalities in calypso music, and he expertly interprets the new developments of soca music, in a shrunken world of instant access to global music material.
