The twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago is a land of talented people. Our musical ambassadors continue to give us so much that sometimes I think we are not deserving of the bounty we have been given. Our culture leads the way and is emulated in the Caribbean and North America. Yes, we have talent to spare!
Talking about talent, how about doing something different today? What do you think of featuring Olatunji's Engine Room on the violin and steelpan? Yes, we have it, and today you can enjoy it with your peers. Share the post; this is just musical niceness!

If you are living away from Trinidad and Tobago and still yearn for the life you left behind, we are about to make you cry and reminisce about the "Ole Time Days". I just gave you a cheap plug to remember Nappy Myers' song, which tends to make emigrated Trinis cry. Today is a new day and with it comes another reason to shed a tear for the life you left behind. Today we present you with a tearjerker written and sung by legendary steel pan musician, composer and arranger Ray Holman; the song is entitled, "Sweet Island Memories". This nostalgic song, along with nine other tracks, comes from the album "First Love."
Our goal is to bring back sweet memories. It is not meant to cause sadness but to help you recall all the pleasant memories growing up in Trinidad and Tobago created. This feeling and memory will be better appreciated by those who grew up in Trinidad during the 60's, 70's and 80's. Times have changed and the fun of hanging out with friends in any neighborhood is now fraught with unknown danger lurking and waiting to create sadness. This song, presented here today, will surely make you smile and even shed a tear. Definitely one to repeat. Enjoy!
Let's take our culture places:
Our goal is to help promote the music and culture of our Caribbean artists. The singers, musicians, producers, songwriters, and all those involved in the creative process. Together we can promote and spread the culture by sharing these posts on all social media platforms.
Use the comment feature of this post to share your thoughts about the song here with your peers. All comments will be posted. Please don't forget to visit us on our 'Facebook Fan Page'.
