Bacchanal for so! Woman is real dangerous weapon round this time for sure. Since the whole dawn of the Carnival 2001 season the atmosphere became a horny frenzy. Now "horn" for all you non-trini's means "an affair" or "having and affair", ok? and with a number of 2001 soca(music) hits trying to get in on the hype, "HORN" was the whole theme for this year. Now as usual yuh(your) boy, but no fault of mines didn't get to fully enjoy the Carnival season to its full length because not only was the whole Carnival calendar rammed like sardine into a whole two weeks but as usual... I was broken(didn't have money)!!! But yuh boy still manage to hit a few here or there lets review shall we....

OK! The first fete(party) was suppose to be Fire Services Fete but its irregular timing colliding with my financial decapitation. So yuh(yoour) boy had to chill out until the ever popular, always safe ARMY FETE!!! safest fete(party) around. Okay now they went and keep in PSA Grounds for one thing so is dust for so but it eh(didn't) stop me from gaping and drooling at the flood of nice looking, sexy ass women that flaunted fleshly-exposed about the fete(party). Talk bout tight and short? geez! Anyway, the scene(scenery) was looking like a feeding frenzy and keep in mind the word for today is "Horn". Now when we reach soca(music) bands like Atlanik and Surface had already played and the band to come on the stage next was Blue Ventures. They were cool, yuh(you) know to start the pace off. Shanelle Dempster who was hot last year came to a more slow flow with the "Tradesman" which was very well received and yuh(you) know everybody was applying for position of "HORNER MAN".

Me, I want employee of the month and with songs like "Tremble it" by Destra with the band Roy Cape All Stars things started to get real messy. This woman, all last year was a very quite, easy flowing kinda woman being her real first entrance into the soca arena. Then BAM! Like the calm then the storm this woman lash out. Republic Bank Fete at their sports club in Barataria. Came out in straps suits, Destra with serious visual presentation to go along with her song. Backside facing the crowd shook that money maker like a "shak-shak"(musical insturment) in an up-tempo parang(music) orchestra. I swore this woman's ass got jolted by lightening. Now I does cyah really figure out how much muscles are located in woman but I held on to one and it felt like I was getting a massage from one of those machines to my lower abdominal region.

Now If that wasn't hard enough I had the chance to see what could move and what couldn't move when stunts like the original rude gyal she self Denise Belfon came out at UWI splash with her song "PANIC". Hello! just completed "putting down"(delivered) her second or third child came on stage in tights, extra pounds, saucy attitude and attempted to tease the crowd while repeatedly giving us full angle view of rhythmic sex exercises. Song good. Didn't look good!.

From all the hottest, raw, adulterated horn songs that came pelting out at us at every fete the one that had the most impact, effect and of any significance was surprisingly and no doubt the Horning National Anthem "Looking for Horn!" from kaiso(music) veteran the Mighty Shadow who, by the way is Soca Monarch, Road March King and second runner up to Denise Plummer, Calypso Monarch. Now folks usually by just the name alone and by the pace carnival does be at yuh swear it is a fast pace, riveting, pulsating, sensual aphrodisiac. Wrong! The song was a lazy groove stimulant with nice melody and interesting lyrics. Yes, I am not a Shadow fan but I have to admit his two songs were the spotlight of all fetes(party). Yep! all fetes(party).

Now turning away from the whole "HORN" thing there were other really great songs and even more great artiste as they emerged from out the shadows of the regulars. Bunji Garlin "the girls dem Darling" with the "ragga-style"(reggae+soca) for the new millennium evolution of music came hot this here with "Fete". Very good indeed and it was a perfect picture of what going on in the Carnival business thing. Bunji had to take second place in the Soca Monarch. Another performer who I find came out real good in the struggle was Maga Dan. His song "Lash Satan" which had the Blessings from the alimghty Father I'm sure made good dent in the crowd which had some patrons claiming to have the devil in them. Then there was the usual Iwer with songs which had the hypnotic effect to get even the quietist person behaving like a cave man with his ass on fire! Ha! There were many other's like Sean Karut former Xtatix turn TRaffik singer with his "Accident" which had man crashing all over woman and vice versa with out proper insurance and ending up on the TNT Mirror newspaper in real crash dummy position.

You had the foreign acts like T.C. who had the "KIM" song. Which had everyone who name Kim a prime target from lots of scorned woman. Rupee had the girls dem wild with his "jump" and had the big "chest-back, chipping(easy going, one step) song "INSOMNIA" which is by the way title track for the big, big "INSOMNIA Fete" at Mobs2 Chaguaramas which I didn't go cause it is $150 to go inside and still had to pay for drinks and thing to eat (Wicked and bad people dem(them) is!!!!). Ever present Allison Hinds and Square one which to me I find were real quiet with their hits "Top Class Bubbler and Glow". Then there was Godfrey Dublin. "Taking way Somebody Woman" was his song and was actually taken literally buy the Trini men to great extent. to get some serious buss(busted) head!!

So that is not all but ah(I) go cyah keep going on and on like is best I right the novel for the screen play OK? but here is a quick summary:

Shadow was the man for this year. Denise Plummer win two car. Iwer eh(didn't) win Road March. Destra is no longer a virgin. "Horn" was the theme for this year. I walked a mile and a half and "Tey Lee Ley"(Xtatix song sung by Peter C. Lewis). Traffik was the band for the season. Macheal didn't perform with Xtatix. Seen?(understand)
