This Party Is It (Road March 1988) - Tambu

[@winstonifill6176]

80's were the very best in soca, so much great songs.!!!!!!!!!

[@habibahahmad3248]

So true

[@gbadri1]

+Winston Ifill It was a decade to be admired, wondered, preserved and relive it over and over every time we hear these precious Ones.

[@falkerhard]

And the artists tried hard to push the genre forward, in particular blue boy with new sounds.

Any time period before 2000 music 🎼🎶🎙️📀 & culture in Trinidad 🇹🇹 was sweet 🍯 .

[@IntoxicCH]

I was buying random records from the African and Caribbean sections of my local thrift store, just going by the covers I liked. This was one of them. Lucky purchase! So, I probably discovered Tambu thanks only to the moustache and shirt he is wearing :)

[@mandulis]

De Golden Age Of Soca... The 80s..... But Every Decade Had Good Calypso and Soca Too...

[@crystalclare1000]

Oh Lord! This is my Childhood! My dad would play this non-stop! And I love it SO much still! It's amazing how these things from childhood can imprint on you eh. Hadda love Tambu.

[@aliciamirelleemmanuel8965]

When that song mash up de place Caribana time back in '88!!! Those were the days!!! Now Tambu is singing for the Lord!!!

[@brooklyn6times]

This is Tambu's first of three road march winning hits! This is from 1988! Trini style! Christopher "Tambu" Herbert!

[@MrCosworth76]

Big tune.

[@heads48]

this guy is my dads neighbor and saturday morning i would hear him singing all kinds of gospel and other songs, his voice was soothing it was like a private concert, our islands are full of so much talent, we all need to help to bring them to the world,not keep them for ourselves, share the best of what you have home thanks for the post of this great voice artist

[@blkn1]

OMG . That was what I was thinking yesterday. 2011 and 12 are the same rubbish. I am from Jamaica and we use to hear this music on the radio. Now I listen to this more that music from yard. I love love love my SOCA. Never miss Notting Hill for the last 21 years

[@cool4rocknroll]

You're welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying the Tambu track from 1988! Now this was the tune for the Road March!

[@michaelbonaparte9672]

That's cool! I didn't know Tambu was your dad's neighbor? Back in the day? That's really something! You made a good point! Trinidad has alot of talented gifted people! Who can really sing! It's a shame! The rest of the world will never get to see it! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@shockedkats]

[@riyadhrafique8377]

This Party Is It 1988 Road March Christopher "Tambu" Herbert The night was cool, I moving with iron Around town we looking for action Was hunting for fete with heavy sway, All jammers feeling good so we stay Feeling to groove, the girl in a quiet mood But she incited me to behave rude She find I too reserved so she pull away Left me and run on top the stage, and start to sing for the DJ Play, play, play Mr. DJ This Party is It Gimme some jam to break away This Party Is It She jump & prance and fall down on the ground This Party Is It Making the whole crowd sing along, singing Music (x3) Everyone high on the music She highjack the fete & making it a concept Singing she own thing and wouldn't stop Shouting & wining down like she gone insane- all the music gone to she brain Jamming & beautiful like a beauty queen Nattily dressed in red💃 , she light up the scene All who wouldn't free up, she set them free Giving off endless energy, the woman wake up the party Repeat chorus I feeling all alone in a corner, wondering what I should do to cool her I am the one who took her to the party, her safety depends upon me Signaling to her that its time to go, ah felt so shame when she shouted "NO"!!!! Doh care how I beg, she wouldn't come down Life if she wave a magic wand, she had the audience carrying on Repeat chorus This was Tambu's first (1) Road March. He would perform a hat trick winning the Road March 🏆 for three consecutive years- 1988, 1989 & 1990.

[@habibahahmad3248]

I love my Trinie. Sweet soca music I am a Trinie to d bone.

[@habibahahmad3248]

Ms my country for the christmas and the carnival. Party party and more party

[@MIKEGUERRA]

@originalTriniOne The quality of musical arrangements lacks creativity compared to tracks like this. All we get now is Fast Food music with no staying power. You can play this song in any function and it sounds FRESH! Great work Tambu. This is a TIMELESS TREASURE!!

[@AomQueen]

Love you Uncle C❤️

[@Dyannand]

[@kevinterrell7362]

This is when soca was soca.not the s... they sing now a days.

[@babylove8541]

Lol, so true

[@SueLyons1]

There's still some good stuff, just less sweet groovy soca

[@andreamanning1257]

Could not agree more. Soca in the 80’s and 90’s was far superior to the current tunes

[@ann-mariewilliams-ransome6321]

So, so true ! These are music we have to cherish. The music now is different.

[@JohnDoe-jj3wt]

I was sing in randomly and finally found it 🔥 2019

[@keithreid8273]

[@Hammerton32]

Looking for a 80s calypso track with the chrous, "Coke, Is it!' Anyone know it? Pls. post.

[@mattboss6875]

I don't know if is me bit he and david rudder have a similar style I know they both sang in Charlie's roots but they have similar styles

[@cool4rocknroll]

@mattboss6875, Hi there, Thanks for your message. I think? That's due to both of them had Pelham Goddard as their arranger on their solo individual albums. Same similar rhythm and style in their music. Pelham had used the same instruments of the melody and beat. That's probably why you came to that conclusion? I hope this had help? Thanks again.

[@Dyannand]

Na boi . David is a world classic singer..but tambu..is it for road match he is Trini

[@Tampa0123456789]

Actually thats not true anymore now that we have the internet. If it wasn't for the internet i never would of been exposed to any of this culture. Sad tho that now you have the internet yet most of the music is of low quality.

[@1corona0]

Do you hear those horns?

[@jagabatt]

i'm so glad that i'm not the only one who think that this yr. roadmarch is horrible. there are no more great performers anymore. they are all redundant. every year it's the same thing. instructional soca. omg! how can everyone sing the same lyrics every year? wave de bloody rag! drives me nuts!

[@MIKEGUERRA]

@originalTriniOne

[@karelphillips3483]

Did Johnny King wrote this for Tambu?

[@werry88]

and listen to the rubbish roadmarch for 2010 compared to this song

[@blkn1]

OMG . That was what I was thinking yesterday. 2011 and 12 are the same rubbish. I am from Jamaica and we use to hear this music on the radio. Now I listen to this more that music from yard. I love love love my SOCA. Never miss Notting Hill for the last 21 years
