You went to the school of white light and dead people orrr?

[bluefete]

Soca mafia working overtime to have Bunji win road march. Serious overtime.

The oldest conspiracy theory is still alive I see

LOL. You are not hearing what I am.

...

Lmao, homeboy hearing wrong as usual.

Were you on the road Mon and Tues? Did you hear the effort?

Did you know Bunji's song is allegedly on Monk's label? (Still trying to verify that though I got it from a supposedly good source).

It's just your opinion. Move on, maybe next year you will be satisfied. Better yet, compose a perfect road march song that appeals to everyone.

By whom? The so called mafia couldn't make bunji win. Teja probably had the song that more people liked, and you had a different song that you liked. It's ok that people's opinions count other than yours. Hopefully next year your choice will win. Anyway, by Friday all these songs will be consigned to the dustbin in favor of the dancehall and urban crap.

By people with their own preferences, it's not a public voting competition (and it shouldn't be either) is what I mean. And Teja song is good, but as a road march stage song, it's a bit dead.

All I'm saying is if you observe which song people are getting into the most on the stage, it's not DNA.

[pugboy]

how they plan to deal with the continued band traffic jam ?

[Dizzy28]

My entire Carnival experience for 2024 was a hour in Jouvert in Bago.
IMO if I was a mas player Bunji really was the song I would have wanted to cross the stage with and not DNA. Carnival Contract hit different on a truck on the road. That's just me though.

Big up Mical Teja. The future of soca looks bright!!

[Les Bain]

I didn't care for the millenial whoop element in DNA but this is another year of the musical trend that moved the Hot Song away from power soca rag flag jump and wave overkill.

[maj. tom]

The trend that local producers are picking up on is more the classic pop formula that was used for decades in the past. We are past the soca flag jump and wave era and the younger audience is going back to the 80s pop formula. Just like what's going on in America right now with the largest superstar and her call back to it in her album 1989 .

So let's get a major scale because it's happy vibes. Work out a chord progression on the idea and demo tune. And the producers would have worked with this to bring out this outstanding tune for the season. The formula works! The vibe is uplifting happiness.


I work it out to be E major chord progression in 1-6-4-5
But in E-flat to match his baritone voice range. E C#m A B

In yuh little bubble.. you DO KNOW that some dj's refused to play Bunji's song even on request by masqueraders right (inclusive of NCC sponsonred events)?..... just a reminder...may not be a cabal.... but prejudice was there..

[pugboy]

thank god yes
eradicating that rag nonsense also automatically means that the “artistes” need to be a bit better qualified to sing too
no more relying on “where yuh rag” shouting for lyrics

So DNA man a relative newcomer was able to assemble a powerful anti-soca-mafia team strong enough to call shots with the road DJs? So he's the Spirit Mas of soca? Yeah ok

[pugboy]

well the mafia was studying books. eh

[maj. tom]

One song is about 128 bpm, and the other is about 148 bpm. Big difference for dancing stamina on the road. Plus the slower song is much more melodic. On it's own Carnival Contract is like a hip hop soca masterpiece. The video was shot in a high aspect ratio close to Cinemascope so it gave that premium viewing experience.

But alongside the competition for Road March he had to make room for another this year. Compare to last year when the Top 3 were all high >150 bpm songs and Bunji won with Hard Fete.

What was used to measure the bpm?

[maj. tom]

A tap tempo sampler and a mouse. You can try it yourself. You will get an approximate value. And then do it many more times to get an average.

With a song with the BPM of most EDM songs? Yeah definitely too slow for de road. And his song was played by one of the 2 winning Panorama bands.

This ain't a cartel this is obeah

[bluefete]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_Road_March

Road marches from 1834 - 2024. Look at the varying BPM's in each one. In earlier times, there was no - this too slow for the road. Good songs were played for road march as long as people like them.

Most interesting from 1956-2024.

[maj. tom]

I'm not saying there's a correlation to bpm and winning. I'm saying that this song bpm was just right with the right melody and tune for the road that the artist and producers worked very hard on and came up with a winning formula for 2024 compared to the next on the list. There is no mafia! It's just good music!

[pugboy]

them radio jocks who work for the mafia group was trying to justify their predictions based on bpm
