David was my carnival history in 1988. His music just takes me right back to then. Simpler times... My first and not last carnival

[@keiram1965]

keith padarath says that this is probably one of the best social commentary in song ever to come from our beautiful twin island republic. bless

[@philipward196]

I would like to suggest another: "Pain nous ka mange", from a slave rebellion in the early 1800's. The song itself references the successful revolution on Haiti ("hey San Domingo") and is called by John Cowley "probably the earliest song that can be dated specifically in the history of Trinidadian music". It was collected in a book in the 1950s by Trinidadian origin musicologist and singer Edric Connor. I learned a four-part version by Stephen Taberner of the Spooky Men. I'm not sure a recording exists, but the song is beautiful - and menacing.

Chump change. The T&T government dropped the airport racket charges. And they didn't even have to go to Panama.

[@hotpeppersauce2]
