Alison Hinds - Soca Queen
Long awaited Solo Debut Album of Bajan ‘Soca Queen’ Alison Hinds.

Including ‘Roll It Gal’, which has been gaining major global momentum since its dominant reign at the top of charts throughout the Caribbean, to New York City’s prominent HOT 97 airwaves, to the BBC Radio in England, to Canada’s premier music channel Much Music.

Mighty Sparrow - Barack De Magnificent
Slinger Francisco, better known as The Mighty Sparrow, Calypso King of the World, with a career that spans over 40 years and counting. His 2 CD album for the year 2008 contains many Calypsos with political commentary, like the eponymous “Barack De Magnificent” - a song about the nominee of the republican party for the presidential election 2008 in the USA. Furthermore Mighty Sparrow sings about Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, racism, education, war, etc. However, don’t think this 2 disc set is only teaching, no: Mighty Sparrow is an entertainer in the first place and his music always catches the listener with wonderful melodies, witty and clever lyrics and danceable rythms.
