Humboldt State University Calypso Band performing "Signal for Lara" by Superblue, arranged by Garret Sandborne. Directed by Eugene Novotney. Performed in JVD, May 2009, Arcata, CA.
Much respect for exposing the beauty of Trinidadian culture to the world!!! (I know many bands that use pan for many genres of music without truly embracing the art form of calypso). I am most honored as a daughter of Trinidad and Tobago!
@ cjruckus -Thanks man....you are right about 'Signal' not winning Soca Monarch in '95. Heartbreaking for me at the time. However "Ent" was not the controversial winning song that year but 'On the Road'.....a song which was incidentally written by Super and given to Ronnie by him. Loads of bacchanal indeed with the results that year. 'Ent' came in '97 when Ronnie tied for 1st with Super Blue who sang 'Barbara'. Your correction is much appreciated however :-)
@keithintrini Signal Did not Win Soca Monarch that year. However, It did take road march. Ronnie MacIntosh won Soca Monarch with Ent, in a very controversial judges decision.
hey good job a bit slow but i like it your band should come in Trinidad and be in the city this year for carnival
