This is one to watch, Mr. Selecta! Pay attention to this song titled "Bye Bye" by Miguel Maestre, produced by the talented Rich “Shan” Persad in Toronto, Canada. This is one to watch and could become an anthem for Carnival 2025 in Trinidad and Tobago.
Miguel Maestre, for those who don't know, was born in Toronto to Trinidadian parents. His DNA contains the Soca culture gene! His music and dual cultural heritage blend the essence of Trinidad and Toronto. This song celebrates the essence of our carnival spirit and Toronto's diverse music culture. There is no negativity; rather, there are only positive vibrations. Ultimately, there is only positive energy. Therefore, let us join Miguel in saying, "Goodbye" to those who harbor animosity. We promote positive vibes, and yes, we just love this song!
The collaboration of talents that produced "Bye Bye" bodes well for Miguel, with music produced by Rich "Shan" Persad. Together, they channeled the energy of their Caribbean heritage to create an infectious song with catchy lyrics and an upbeat tempo, destined to become a carnival anthem for music fans across the Caribbean carnival circuit.
Soca music now has an international flavor; artists from the Caribbean and North America are producing music that drives the carnival engine, ushering in a new era in which Soca is now an all-year phenomenon. It is not just carnival music anymore; now it is music that the rest of the world can enjoy anytime and anywhere. "Bye Bye" should perform well for Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, as well as for Brooklyn and Miami Carnival this year.
So, as we dance and celebrate the remainder of 2024, we can now groove to the beat of the future. Say "Bye Bye" to the summer of 2024 and welcome to fall. Trinidad Carnival will be hopping to the beat of "Bye Bye" by Miguel Maestre. This should be the first of many good songs from this talented artist, and we can look forward to more excellent music from this talented Soca star.
So, as you prepare for Trinidad Carnival 2025, make sure "Bye Bye" is on your playlist. Let the music take you on a journey, experiencing the magic of Carnival through the sounds of Miguel Maestre and Rich “Shan” Persad.
