Nu-Vybes and Krosfyah beat out Machel Montano and Xtatik out of Trinidad and the Jam Band from the US Virgin Islands for the coveted spot at the Reggae Soca Music Awards at the Broward County Center.
Soca goes to Germany!

Plymouth Jazz 2007
Submitted by carnivalondenet on Tue, 2006-05-23 11:49. Featured Events | Plymouth Jazz FestivalJust heard talk about the Jazz 2007 edition. After the brilliant performances by Sting et al this year, I've been informed that we will be enjoying Earth, Wind and Fire, Mary J Blige and Sir Elton John next year, with a possibility of Celine Dion. What a line up. The discussion also brought up the notion that, at least for Trinidadians, St. Lucia will lose out - why whip out a passport to go to St. Lucia when we can get just as good a show right here at home.
We'll keep you updated on the Festival as we get more info. In the meantime, check out the photos from 2005 and 2006 in the Photo Gall
