This great artiste has been a gift to Trinidad the entire Caribbean and the world At 57 I have known of his music since he won the junior crown with his song “they say I too young to soca
A consummate artist and ambassador par excellence. Love the way Machel big up the whole West Indies and really genuinely showed his love for the region. Much appreciated for your consistent work and being a true West Indian and Trinbagonian. ❤
As a Trinidadian I'm proud of Machel...I remember when he started out as a kid and watched him bloom into who he is today...keep up the good work my dear ❤❤❤
Interesting ... I am going to try and get a tix as soon as I leave here. I have been going to visit T&T for a long time now. I used to work at a company with Trinies and they used to talk about the fun and the culture so one year I surprised them and went. I have been going every since. On my early trips I met David Rudder who was the most well known singer down there at the time and representing the culture well. It looks like Machel has taken the lead now. I find it interesting that he wants to rep the carribean not just Trini. This makes sense and it is what is needed. Bob Marley was the big name in his era repping now just Jamaican culture but reggae and rasta culture worldwide. So it's Soca the first two nights and calypso the third night. As he stated Soca is faster paced dance style of music whereas Calypso slows things down and injects social aspects as well as humor in it's music. Fun fact ... both Harry Belafonte and Louis Farrakhan were calypso singers in the youth. Both are orginally from the carribean ...
Machel performed at our Jazz and Arts Festival in St Lucia this year, and that was the best event I have ever been to. Machel your performance in St Lucia in May 2024 was the BEST. I enjoyed it
The way Machel keeps his cohorts close and contributes to their continuation and relevance is remarkable..such a beautiful thing to witness..he is a true Patriot of the culture.bless him
Trini🇹🇹 boy represent....M&M let 'dem know we been here and we not going nowhere....USA need to wake up bs the world already partying while USA sleeping. Marshall we need u to come to Norfolk Caribbean fete in Sept pls or the Virginia Beach something at the water version
Soca to the universe ✨️ breaking barriers happy vibes the culture is being highlighted is major for us caribbean people #onecaribbean happy am here for it . #ronthecity endorsement Calypso is soca and soca is Calypso. #spiritsup
For the past 3 years i have been embarrassed by the number of soca/sokah artiste (Alison Hinds and Kes who both did Breakfast Club) who fail to properly define soca/sokah when doing these interviews in the USA. Machel ...Thank you!!!!! for finally giving "the" definition.
As a Upcoming part time Soca artist , I confirmed your statement is true, but it can also be motivational based on how you and what you write, but it's all controversial
It's because you only listen to the lyrics. Whereas if you wanna know what "all it's about" you have to have rhythm. You have to be able to catch the beat. Which obviously you don't have. Which is why the only value music brings to you is the lyrics. Which makes sense, you seem as interesting as the words in a Ikea instruction packet 😂
This man is a true ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago's 🇹🇹 culture.
The King of Soca. I am not from Trinidad but we recognise him globally as the King! Great interview.

Overs ma$e
Did CB C ha am bc
soca is garbage....dancehall & reggae is where it's at !!!!
The same could be said about dancehall and reggae depending on individual public opinion
All it's about is drinking and whining... Same crap , nothing different. Soca is very easy to make.
😒😒😒
Steups, can you do it competently?
Just like every other genre out there. What's dancehall about... killing. Mumble rap...gang culture. Pop.. sad love story. Not hard to make
