Kes - Savannah Grass (Official Music Video) | Soca 2019

The 260 acres of Savannah Grass are the lungs of Port of Spain, Trinidad. A place of artistic expression and recreation. As a people we have shared so many magical moments in this sweet botanical, with each other and the world. We celebrate and honour all who make this place the source of culture and good vibes year after year. We go make them jump and free up!!

This captures the essence of the spirit of Carnival. The way u feel when feet hit that savannah and ur section ready. I don’t know how it is now, but I did kiddies and youth and I remember the excitement in the atmosphere.

[@Sooopa_Doopa]

Every blue moon certain songs transcends the island of its birth and duz do so. Savannah Grass certainly qualifies as such

[@bernardo0601ify]

[@travelingwiththeolives6975]

I CRIED! AT WORK ! listening to this! I dont know why but this made me think of growing up in St Lucia- the simple things that were so good then - getting a dollar from my grand father (RIP) to go buy a bag of plums. Sitting on the steps watching my grandmother cut breadfruit! This songs melody is so beautiful and joyful and sad all in one- it makes you appreciate and love your island and think about the simple things of drinking fresh coconuts and enjoying life and music with friends. I have heard this song already 27 times and I will continue to listen to it and cling to those memories it reminds me of! Thank you for this song!

[@javedrahaman]

The thing about this song is that this is a once in a lifetime song. It may not have won road march that year but it instills a different type of feeling in you. The emotions you get of pride, joy, peace, happiness and the feeling of unity you get will surpass any title. Years will come and go but this will always remain as one of the best Soca songs ever made. So many years later and you still get the goosebumps as if you're hearing it for the first time. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@simmo7030]

This is a song if unity mohn, still listening it just brings a good feeling when I listen to it. To me it's not just a carnival song.

[@des_antilles]

im not trini, im from canada but have enjoyed soca for years. but this song is, imo, one ofthe best ive heard, so yeah totally agree with you.

[@meshelleanglais5141]

You summed this up perfectly. I got goose bumps hearing it the first time. I blasted it on repeat for days lol❤

[@dianneh.66]

Even though it lost to ‘Famalay’, for 2019 Road March Song, I think ‘SAVANNAH GRASS’ will be played and remembered longer. It’s a song that touches the soul, as the essence of T&T Carnival, like none of it’s rivals except maybe ‘So Long’ - just my humble opinion‼️

[@MrTellboy]

Dianne Haynes facts. Although famalay is a great song but savannah grass will be played 10 years later and still have the same affect as it does today in 2019

[@skullersrowing1507]

This. Savannah Grass will prove to be a timeless hit. Every single time I listen to this I get emotional and can FEEL the spirit of carnival despite having never experienced it. Famalay is great, love the beat... but it gets boring very quickly for me.

[@quanchoo-kang7381]

Savannah Grass does remind meh of Trini to de Bone.

@@thetongueofangels1882 I'm a musician. I've been in reggae, funk and jazz bands since the 1980s. My current day job is listening and curating music for a major music streaming site. So I've been listening closely for a good 10-15 years. I've read (and listened) all about the Calypsonians Roaring Lion, Lord Kitchener, Might Sparrow, Black Stalin etc etc Kaiso, Rhapso, Chutney, Soca, Bashment, Jab Soca, Parang etc.etc. I am fascinated by the mix of cultures and music. The food must be amazing! I can hear a track and tell you which Caribbean island it came from with pretty good accuracy. I even understand most of the slang. A visit to TnT is definitely in my future.

This song is beautiful. I get emotional when I listen to it, and I understand and relate to their love and respect for the culture of Carnival. Culture is ancestral, and our Caribbean culture is the foundation of who we are as a people - our heritage, food, music, dance, art, speech and our resilience. I am from The Bahamas and Junkanoo is our love. It's our culture, our West African heritage, the gift our ancestors brought to the islands and left for us. Hold your culture close to your hearts my West Indian people! And tell the stories of your history so future generations know where they come from.🇧🇸🇧🇸

Writing from Barbados, just watching those clips from "old days" and hearing this song puts me in a happy place.

I grew up with Carnival all around me and seeing these flashback images and videos stirred up so many happy childhood memories. From kiddies Carnival to adult mas, the music, the visuals, the people, the vibe. No one truly understands the power of the Savannah Grass and the stage unless you've been there. Thanks for spreading your creative wings and putting out this song Kes the Band!

[@KimDoucetFitness]

My God, I’m not even Trini and this gave me goosebumps. Saw this first on IG and was blown away! Peace and love from Bahamas 🇧🇸

Making me want to come back 🇹🇹 Kes!!! R.I.P Bunny!!!!

[@aleiahroberts9154]

When I saw this vidéo tears filled my eyes. Seeing what I knew as Carnival as a child is no more. St.Clair is where I used to go to meet the J'ouvert truck to play myself. He is reminding us of where and what we came from as Trinbagonians as our culture and Tradition is DYING. This tune deserved Road march for me. People say times changing but it's not true the Sun rise and set is still the same but people want to change their mind set. But please people keep our culture alive because it's DYING 😢

[@judahtribe6324]

I'm a so called African American and I love this song can't stop listening to it

[@ilenasyd]

And I will be crying while crossing that stage. Thanks for making me cry in the ppl fete already. If yall aint hear this 1. LIVE 2. On LOUD Speakers what you really telling yourself.......Savannah Grass is one of the soca hymns to go down in history. It has so much significance and 2019 soca is giving us soooo much hope for this artform. It isn't going NOWHERE. I love you Kes & KTB one family!!

[@sueneishii5390]

Kes...u took everything that I love about the Savannah and incorporated it into one song...thank you Kes..love and respect to you..missing my country...the Savannah Grass🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
