Trinidadian living in Japan here. It would be a good idea to allow captions on soca videos so we can add subtitles. I’m exposing my students to soca music (yes, I play this video in high school classes), and the students really enjoy the music, but they can enjoy it so much more if they understood the lyrics. Trinidadian to standard English needs subtitles anyway, and from there, some enterprising person can translate to Japanese. There are a lot of Trinidadians who have lived in Japan and know Japanese. Not to mention there are Japanese people who love Trinidad culture too. P.S.: I show this video and Kes’s Savanah Grass because there are no people overly exposing their bodies and also wining crazy. I teach teenagers so I appreciate videos like these. Please make more kid friendly music videos, Mr. Montano. Thank you.
This is my uncle favorite song & he recently passed away & for his funeral every car played this all the way to the cremation sight & back. Funny that he was a boss & owned his own company #RIPUNCLEDAVE #LikeAhBoss

Machel is, and will continue to be ah BOSS!! If you nuh like it, lay dung side it!!
***** Ammm, de reason soca doesn't have its own category on any major international music awards ceremony is because many people in de industry don't fully comprehend de culture of soca!! You cyah honestly sit there and say they don't KNOW soca because Machel won international awards multiple times, so it IS recognized!! Name another soca artist who win an international award?!!?! EXACTLY!!! Know yuh facts before yuh come fuh we!
***** He actually won a Soul Train Music Award! You need to do better research, "darlin". And if it's mostly given to black people, what are you trying to say?! Stroooooops. Gyul, move from here!

My favorite entertainer everrrrrrrrrr. Machel Montano is just awesome. I have been to many concerts of a variety of music, and no artists (even the best of them) could top a true Machel Montano show. If you go for the first time, try to do one of his big shows, i.e. with the full band. I have paid to see him perform at back to back shows because I could never get enough. Love you Machel - you are the Boss!
Trinidad soca music is used for all carnival over the world so Trinidad carnival is definitely the greatest show on earth cause we play our soca and keep it all trini
Some people nowadays change their minds about songs so quickly. The thing is music is not only universal but it’s forever. If the song was good in 2015 what is different now. The reason why people like music primarily has to do with the rhythm and the arrangement. The longevity of the song is based on this premise. When the beat drop you gonna love it. If you loved it then and nothing has changed you still gonna love it 9 years later. If the lyrics are also good then the song becomes transcendent. No matter when you hear it it will take you back to the first time you heard it and the whatever party, club or hangout you were at will make you love it even more. That’s the reason music moves people, changes people, illicit’s emotions and affects people positively or in some cases negatively. Even in the cases it illicit’s a negative emotion? The same song. A take you back to a bad time and help you to move forward. That is the power of music and why it’s a necessary thing. This song’s beat, arrangement and lyrics are great so yes I don’t know of anyone who has a musical bone in their body that will say they no longer like this song. As an example Of the powers of music? Walk into any party and put on some Micheal Jackson. Whatever you may feel about the man you will have to acknowledge his music and its transcendence.
+belial yu Merci Beaucoup.Spread the Word around France about Trinidad music .You should vistit in the next couple of weeks for Carnival celebrations .
I love this!!!! Mass bands in Trinidad are awesome. Good stuff. Think I'll come to Trinidad just to see them. Machel you managed to show there is another side of your country besides pretty girls and costumes.
General Boss that is a Boss Track it is Indeed a Treasure and Should be equated with Advancing the Culture and Culturation of Trinidad and Tobago and The Diaspora. Look at the Cross Section of The Talent Presented Music is Life and Carnival is Expression of Life Idealized and General Boss and the other Cadre of Soca Stars are Finally bringing Soca to the place it deserves in the International Scene.
I really remember growing up on this song Listening to it and other songs that was out 12-6 years ago with my mom in the car on our way to my godmother house and while we over there listen to more eat some chicken foot souse and play with my cousin (her grandkid) it really brings me back
Thrilling. This video made my pores stand on end. Cud not take my eyes off. Felt like I was watch in drum line. HD to watch over and over to make sure this ah Trini video.loved it and love machel and all u haters do better
Let's not say we're not impressed because Machel Montano represents Trinidad and Tobago anywhere as well as all our other artists!! So Machel do you your thing know you the boss!! #LikeAhBoss #MonkMonte
No matter what was done machelmontanomusic would be contradicted but the reality is there is no greater performer out of T&T than the man. If people actually listen to the construction of the song the band element was always there so the video concept makes absolute sense. I may not be his biggest fan but lets be real here some of you hating on the man because he is biggest entertainer in the arena and people always hope for an underdog to topple the giant.
He does not listen soca music with black people voices,only Indians;but the Indians from India hate Guyanese Indians and complain that you Indians in Guyana tries to speak Indian languages and it sounds terrible and that they don't like you all.
Loved this video! Went to machel Monday and his performance was on point as per usual. People who talk about representing the culture more, bet your ass they not doing nothing but criticizing people that put bring attention to our beautiful nation. The quality of the video alone was commendable as local trinidadian ads are pretty crappy. Esp the ones that they take wholesale from America and do voice overs. Good job Mr. Montano, you did it Like A Boss! :DDDD So proud to be a trini eh. damn, this is meh home and i nuh leavinggg. :D
Dam if he do... dam if he don't!!! One thing I can say to the haters... he always delivers his music LIKE AH BOSS... While some of us will sit behind a key pad and bash this man... he's out there giving it his all, to represent us to the best of his ability... So go ahead judge the man judgmental hypocrites... but what have you done for your Country lately?
Couldn't agree with you more.... Very well said.... Let the haters hate..... At the end of the day the man always represents his culture and we should be proud rather than reprimand him.
Somebody help!!!' I discovered this dude today every since it's been none stop likes and replays I have been dancing for 3 hours I got to be at work in 3 more hours and I can't stop dancing help!!!!
Cant beleive he just performed this on Tiny Desk, What an Honor!!!!!!!

why is Machel still not yet a worldwide name, with these awesome videos and talent?

Loved this video! Went to machel Monday and his performance was on point as per usual. People who talk about representing the culture more, bet your ass they not doing nothing but criticizing people that put bring attention to our beautiful nation. The quality of the video alone was commendable as local trinidadian ads are pretty crappy. Esp the ones that they take wholesale from America and do voice overs. Good job Mr. Montano, you did it Like A Boss! :DDDD So proud to be a trini eh. damn, this is meh home and i nuh leavinggg. :D
Machel have some good songs but this is always remain a classic
Ayeeee this song is mandatory for Carnival🇧🇸🇧🇸 I'm from the Bahamas
Who Cares
Dam if he do... dam if he don't!!!
One thing I can say to the haters... he always delivers his music LIKE AH BOSS...
While some of us will sit behind a key pad and bash this man... he's out there giving it his all, to represent us to the best of his ability... So go ahead judge the man judgmental hypocrites... but what have you done for your Country lately?

i think they need to realise all their hating and emotions and insults dont matter to him at all lol. so they really are wasting their time lol.
he is making his $$
Amrita Sinanan well said
Being around when this song came was special, seeing it turn into a classic is even better
Every sound took everything you ever knew and heard for carnival and brought it all together. Brought back childhood carnival memories with this one.

Only Machel could make me wanna quit my job an join ah Marching Band full time!!!
