We approve of this track; hold on, we love it because it radiates joyful energy and reminds us that Carnival is more than just music. It’s about how Trinis live in the moment; it is about chipping and hugging with arms locked shoulder-to-shoulder and soaking in sweet Soca vibes. The groove is modern yet rooted deep in the belly of calypso, carrying Soca’s youthful spark while honoring its heritage.
Benjai and Kees have exceptional chemistry—voices that could set a lively tone and transform any gathering into a celebration. They are amazing together and their voices complement each other perfectly, delivering a smooth blend of melody and rhythm that touches everyone while hanging on to a carnival friend. This tune isn’t just another fete song—it’s poised to become the ultimate liming anthem. Why? Because these two captured the essence of how we live: a Carnival philosophy wrapped up in our liming habits. Once the music hits and the spirits flow, we all become Carnival friends. We share smiles, laughter, and wine together and celebrate the joy that keeps our culture alive and thriving. Yes, it is sweet—and yes, we can all be Carnival Friends!
