originally planned to release these on a Friday but couldn’t wait as I found it fitting to post this for our edification. Friday is set as a special day in Islam where all muslims should attend Jumah Salaat in the Masjid.
Salat al-Jumu’ah is a congregational prayer on Friday which replaces the dhuhr prayer. It is compulsory upon men to perform it in congregation, while women may perform it so or may perform dhuhr salat instead. Salat al-Jumu’ah consists of a sermon (khutba) given by the speaker (khatib) after which two raka’ah are performed. There is no Salat al-Jumu’ah without a khutba.

Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Gamal “Skinny Fabulous” Doyle successfully defended his 2009 Soca Monarch title on Saturday night. In the face of steep competition the incumbent Monarch executed an elaborate stage presentation that outshone all efforts put forth by fellow competitors. Complete with costumes, dancers, pyrotechnics and other visual aids, the performance of “De Beast Letgo” was an eye-catching display of artistry and entertainment.
A field of 20 artistes performed orinigal uptempo soca songs for a crowd of more than 12, 000 assembled at Victoria Park in Kingstown to witness the event. Last night’s win marks the second consecutive defeat over six-time Soca Monarch and crowd favourite, Delroy “Fireman” Hooper. The winning song was written by Gamal Doyle and produced by Penn and Ace of Studio 758 in St. Lucia. To the surprise of many, the outstanding stage performance of “De Beast Letgo” beat out the most obvious musical forerunner for the carnival season, Mad House by Problem Child.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines Results
1. De Beast Letgo – Skinny Fabulous
2. Ragz Invasion – Fireman Hooper
3. Mad House – Problem Child

Steven Springer
Steven Springer & Friends will be performing at The Corner Bar this Tuesday 30th June. Showtime 9PM. Part proceeds go to charity.
When Trinidad-born guitarist Steven Springer arrived in Port-of-Spain for his honeymoon October 2008 he felt it would be the last time he would see his homeland. He had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and had been battling it for 4 years, and was expecting to return to the United States after his visit to undergo radiation therapy.
After visiting with friends and family, and enjoying his honeymoon in Trinidad with his wife Denise, he returned back to his doctors in Michigan, and when they x-rayed his lungs they found that the cancer had disappeared. “The doctors were shocked and amazed to find that the cancer had disappeared, and I didn’t have to undergo any radiation treatments,” said Steven Springer in a recent interview. “They had no explanation for it, but I know in my heart that it was the island of Trinidad, along with the people, food and positive energies I experienced, that made my cancer disappear.”
Now cancer-free, Steven is planning on returning to Trinidad again in June to play several concerts. “I want to give back, through my music, to the people of Trinidad. If it wasn’t for Trinidad, I wouldn’t be able to continue to make music anymore, and I know deep in my heart that Trinidad cured my cancer” claims a smiling Steven Springer.
Steven Springer is an accomplished and soulful songwriter and innovative fingerstyle guitarist, with his roots firmly planted in reggae, soca and calypso. His unique musical style is a melting pot of jazz, reggae, Latin, blues, rock and R&B, which combine to form a very refreshing and exceptional sound that’s easy on the ears and cheers the heart.
Born in Trinidad, in the West Indies, Steven Springer was inspired by the melodic lilting sound of soca and calypso, and started playing guitar at a young age. Touring worldwide, Springer was a featured artist at the 1988 World’s Fair in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, performing with the Trinidad Calypso Band. Springer joined Hugh Borde’s world famous Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band, performing and recording with them for over ten years. Steven has recorded and produced over twenty-five albums/CD’s alongside many of Caribbean music’s most popular acts, as well as numerous jingles for radio and television.
Steven Springer’s newest CD is a tribute to the island of Trinidad. He recorded the CD with his longtime musical partner Brian Pinard, the nephew of the famous Trinidad actor and calypsonian Sir Lancelot. The CD titled “Tropicooljazz” features music inspired by Stevens love for the island of Trinidad, and is a modern mixture of Jazz and Caribbean music, and has collaborations with many famous musicians from all over the world. “I feel that this CD is my finest effort yet, and I can’t wait to perform for the people of Trinidad” Springer said with a proud accomplished smile.

I’m just one of the people on the project. Christian Alexis, graphic designer and artist first approached me with the idea. We pulled in Richard Rawlins, another designer and Terry Smith an architect. Since then a few other people like Lisa Allen-Agostini, Darren Boodan and Rodell Warner have joined the Erotic bandwagon. – Dave Williams
