John Cupid Carnival Village wraps up tonight with a final gift to the people—a free Brass Band showcase, streamed live via YouTube and WACK Visual Radio 90.1 FM. It’s a fitting finale for a cultural space that delivered night after night of live entertainment at no cost, giving the public a taste of Carnival’s heartbeat long before the big fetes take over.
The Village proved to be a total success, offering a rare stretch of free performances that highlighted talent, community, and pure Trinbago spirit. With its closing, the “free” cultural giveaway comes to an end, clearing the stage for the paid fetes and major promoters to step in. But make no mistake—John Cupid Carnival Village set the tone, teased the season beautifully, and reminded everyone what Carnival feels like when culture leads the way.
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists.

Calypso will never die. If you’re paying attention to what artists like Mical Teja and Tano are doing, you already know the spirit of the tradition is alive, mutating, and inspiring a whole new wave of Caribbean sound. Today, though, we’re stepping slightly outside the stream of fresh Calypso releases to highlight a track that proudly carries Calypso DNA—even while wearing the “Soca” label.
Coutain x Tano’s “Wedding Band” is a modern spin on the Mighty Sparrow’s iconic “Mr. Walker,” a reminder that the past is never past in Trinidad & Tobago’s music. The melodies, the storytelling, the cheeky narrative twist—they all echo Sparrow’s brilliance while carving out something distinctly contemporary. And yes, for those with a sharp eye, that very familiar face in the navigation banner—my favorite Trinidadian artist—is the fiery cougar playing Mama Walker in the music video. A perfect casting choice. Terri also sang background vocals on the song.
What makes this release special is how effortlessly it bridges eras. Coutain’s vocal style feels like the arrival of a new generation of sweet-singing griots, artists who understand that Groove Soca isn’t just a rhythm—it’s a feeling. Some may call what he’s doing a new branch of Soca; others may hear the unmistakable Calypso lineage. Either way, Trinidad’s dominance in melodic, story-driven Caribbean music remains unshaken.
And then there’s Tano, whose production continues to sit in a class of its own. His sound isn’t boxed in by the conventions of modern Soca. Instead, he’s crafting a hybrid—something warm, textured, unmistakably Trinbagonian. Call it Trini Vibes, call it progressive Soca, call it whatever you want… the point is, the music keeps evolving. Soca has always been a marketing term, but the soul of the music. That’s Calypso. Lord Shorty said it from the beginning, and Machel Montano reminded the world again: “Soca is the soul of Calypso.”
“Wedding Band” is a flashback, a memory trigger, and a respectful homage to Sparrow’s classic tale—except this time, the courting flips from Mr. Walker’s daughter to Mrs. Walker herself. It’s playful, clever, and beautifully executed.
We love the song, the vibe, the storytelling, and the way the music video amplifies the narrative. Coutain delivers the role of a young man following his heart with charm and sincerity, and the entire production feels like a love letter to the art of Calypso storytelling.
Calypso lives on—not in museums, but in songs like this.
Enjoy the music, enjoy the nostalgia, and most of all, enjoy the beautifully written, impeccably produced, and soulfully delivered “Wedding Band.”

The Free Party Continues at Flava City-Big People Party @ I Am Living My Life
in
Blog
January 27, 2026
This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
The feting continues as the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain transforms into a vibrant hub of rhythm, soul, and unapologetic Trinbagonian joy. Starting at 7:00pm, Flava City opens its arms once again to the people—no tickets, no gate fees, just pure Carnival energy.
This isn’t just another show. It’s a movement.
A celebration of Trinidad & Tobago’s finest performers, many of whom bring the kind of talent that deserves the biggest stages but often gets overlooked by mainstream promoters. Flava City challenges this conventional approach. It’s a platform for the voices, vibes, and veterans of the culture—those who make Carnival what it is, year after year.
???? Whether you’re a die-hard Soca lover, a Calypso connoisseur, or just someone looking to feel the pulse of the people, this is your night. The grown-folk energy is real, the music is sweet, and the vibes are flowing like rum punch on a Carnival Friday.
These Free Shows are more than entertainment. They’re a lifeline for those who can’t afford the big-ticket fetes. They’re a reminder that Carnival belongs to everyone—not just the elite. They’re a chance for artists to connect directly with the people, to be seen, heard, and celebrated. This is wealth-sharing through culture, and tonight, the people win.
? Brought to you by YouTube blogger “I Am Living My Life,” this initiative is grassroots brilliance. It’s Carnival from the ground up. It’s music without barriers. It’s the kind of joy that can’t be bought—only felt.
So grab your crew, head to the Savannah, and let the music move you.
Because when the stage is free, the culture shines.
And when the people dance, Carnival lives.
