    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
      @MrTellboy 5 років тому +78

      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

      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.

    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. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

    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!

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.

    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.🇧🇸🇧🇸

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 😢
