    Apr 5 2025
    Laura and Nigel chat with soca music's lyrical wordsmith, Bunji Garlin, who pushes the envelope of what the sound of Carnival can be with unique collaborations and lyrical wordplay that speaks to calypso's history as a lyricist's art. Bunji, for more than 25 years, has been using the power of words to excite, to educate, to evolve what soca music is globally.

    Laura and Nigel welcome Joshua Regrello, De Panman to his thousands of fans on social media, who represents a changing of the guard in steelpan music. Spontaneous and dynamic are two adjectives to describe this innovative musician who uses the instrument of Carnival, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, to forge new pathways for listening to Carnival music. His effective use of social media to dominate the creator economy of Carnival practitioners, including leading Carnival music singers, is discussed.
