British entrepreneur Kevin Williamson, desperate to put some space between himself and events in the UK, travels to the sunny island of Barbados for a much-needed break. The last thing he needs is to feel an attraction for a woman who seems to embody the term 'diva', before he even gets off the plane.
Barbadian Kimberley Collins has lived a life in the spotlight as the only daughter of a prominent politician, her pampered existence envied by many on the small island. After three failed love affairs she realizes that she will probably never be loved just for herself, that the wrong men will always be drawn to her because of her father's position and power. The last thing she needs is to feel an attraction for a 'foreigner' who may have come to the island to prey on naïve local women, to charm them with his slick Western ways and leave them heartbroken.

Carnival Music in Trinidad is one of several case-study volumes that can be used along with Thinking Musically, the core book in the Global Music Series. Thinking Musically incorporates music from many diverse cultures and establishes the framework for exploring the practice of music around the world. It sets the stage for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical information and traditions as they relate to the present. Visit www.oup.com/us/globalmusic for a list of case studies in the Global Music Series. The website also includes instructional materials to accompany each study.
Home to the most elaborate Carnival celebration in the Caribbean, Trinidad is the birthplace of the steelband and a hub for calypso and soca, musical genres that have been influential throughout the world. Collectively, these and other performance genres constitute the dynamic event of Carnival, which for more than a century has been an occasion for an intense exchange of ideas about society, culture, and tradition in Trinidad.
Carnival Music in Trinidad examines the history and aesthetics of calypso, steelband, soca, and other genres, relating musical structure, lyrics, sound, and style to the major roles they play in Trinidadian culture. It also analyzes how the instruments, sounds, and lyrics of Carnival music provide a sense of national and ethnic identity. Author Shannon Dudley describes calypso's traditional role as a voice for the common people, acknowledging the tensions between this history and calypso's ties to modern commercial music markets. He also presents the story of the steelband--an art form born in the most downtrodden neighborhoods of Port of Spain--as both a parable of the nation's struggles and successes and as a continuous process of musical exploration. Written in a lively style accessible to both students and general readers, Carnival Music in Trinidad features vivid eyewitness accounts and illustrations of performances. The book is packaged with a 40-minute CD containing examples of the music discussed in the text.

Slow death for soca - Local artistes want more airplay
17.10.41
Soca artistes argue that the urban frequency leaders, which command the masses, refuse to play their music—this after spending thousands of dollars on production costs and other fees. They say it has nothing to do with the quality of their production or the lyrical content of the music, but rather what is preferred by the DJ’s and programme directors. The question is, who really has the authority to say that one song is better than another? Is it the DJ, the announcer, the programme director, or is it really the listener?
Are we brainwashed? It could easily be argued that if an artiste’s track doesn’t receive a fair chance to be heard across the airwaves, especially on radio stations that command the masses, there’s no way that that artiste’s music will ever blow up. Equally, if an artiste has been a part of the industry for more than a decade, is considered one of the top guns in the business, and whose music is always on urban rotation, even if his music is less that worthy, it will eventually become a hit. That is considered the brainwash strategy.
