« on: February 24, 2006, 11:40:43 AM »

I am calling all Warrior Nation members from Toronto to come together in Club Sandos to watch the game on tuesday, they will be bringing the game because they have dish network and get Fox Sports US.

As the Regional Head of Canada east i do apologize for not having any jerseys yet but they are on their way. This will be the first place where I announce the Warrior Nation. I urge everyone to be here on tuesday, even if you have to take time off work, take a lil pressure from the wife or girlfriend, butI do encourage everyone to be here and watch our team play.

I think everyone should congregate around 12pm at Sandos because last time it was jam packed, I will be calling the riddim section and the rest of die hards for this affair and hope to see all toronto massive there.

If you want you can contact me on my e-mail at gino.mckoy@gmail.com or you can call me on my cell at 416 997 7782.

2006 World Cup - Germany / Will Our Supporters Club provide us with tickets?

« on: November 29, 2005, 03:29:37 PM »

In organizing the trip to Germany from Toronto, it has been brought to my attention that tickets will be hard to come by, the question is will our supporters club be allocated with a specified amount of tickets. In order to ensure our team is well supported in Germany, ticket allocation should involve, the US, Canada and UK based TT contingent. Finding out that the US supporters club have access to buy tickets is in event making me wonder whether Trinis outside of our twin island republic will obtain tickets, besides the balloting process.

Entertainment & Culture Discussion / Reggaeton is Spanish Calypso

« on: September 28, 2005, 02:55:41 PM »

Listening to this new craze that is taking the airwaves I have realized that reggaeton is simply an older calypso snare drum with a calypso bass guitar and a kick drum. What I don't understand is that these spanish artists have the nerve to call it "reggae"ton. It should be called Calypsoton or socaton by the sound of the music. The only two elements of this genre thatmay be attributed to reggae is the lead guitar and maybe the lead vocals or rapping; which can also be compared to rapso.
The last time I visited home, I spoke to Brother Resistance at length about Rapso and the lack of American recognition of Rapso and our music in general. I think the elders of the music back home would disapprove also that the spanish isles are using our music without giving Trinidad and Tobago credit, we need to spread greater awareness of our music in order to avoid these things from happening. Especially when it denies us our true right to our music which has been used by so many artists in so many different genres of music.

Entertainment & Culture Discussion / New Caribbean and African TV Station in Toronto

« on: April 16, 2005, 06:38:20 PM »

This is my real bredda father who started this tv station, their trinis based in Toronto. It will bring all the cricket and football from the Caribbean, Trinidad especially. Stephan told me his father was starting a tv station but I didn't know it had so much to offer to the Trinbago and Caribbean community at large. I hope their success continues, very pleased with their achievements.
