In a surprise move for carnival 2018, ace steel pan arranger, Len 'Boogsie' Sharpe will not be arranging his own composition for Panorama 2018. Instead, Boogsie has opted for a Kees Dieffenthaller and Kit Israel composition from the very popular Folklore Riddim. The song, sung by Kes, is entitled "Hello".
By the way, for those who have not been paying attention, 'Hello' is one of the most popular songs for Trinidad and Tobago carnival, 2018. This is the number one sourced song on our Blog.
Hello is a very smooth, laid back song. One wonders what Boogsie is going to do with this arrangement to have an impact on his fans and especially the judges. Judging from feedback from a friend (a rabid Boogsie fan)... 'de ting sounding real sweet'! Indeed, this is coming from a fan of Phase II but taking into consideration how good this song is and the genius that is Boogsie... we have little doubt that indeed the arrangement is very good.
Time will tell and as we write this today is the beginning of preliminary judging in pan yards across Trinidad and Tobago. Yes my friends... "de ting start"!
