The people and culture of Trinidad and Tobago are featured in the newly released song "Rhythm of a People" by the very talented Stacey Sobers. The renowned "Gregory "GB" Ballantyne wrote the song, while Ato Williams of 5IVE Line Productions produced it. This is a tribute song, a love song that features not only the people and culture of Trinidad and Tobago but also our beloved steelpan that is now part of our national coat of arms.
This song is a collaborative effort, with some very talented musicians providing the vibe that makes it special. Some of the players on this track include Kyle Peters on guitars, Sheldon Raymond on live drums, Brandon Christopher on saxophone, John Wayne Thomas on trumpet, and Yohance Dickson on trombone. The brass arrangements and pannist contributions add layers of richness and depth to the track, making it a true collaborative effort that highlights the best of our national talent.
Stacey Sobers and her team have delivered a song that just makes you feel good. She wraps the culture in a sweet Calypso vibe featuring everything we love about our culture. The social stigmas once associated with our national instrument have now vanished. She is on point with the lyrical content thanks to "GB.". This is just a feel-good song.
Play this cultural love song and enjoy the poignant lyrics, captivating atmosphere, and her heartfelt homage to our national instrument. So turn up the volume and vibe with this soon-to-be-classic calypso that sings praises to our national instrument—we recognize our steelpan with love.
