Episode 19: Island Music Chat with Teddyson John

Teddyson chats about his beginnings in soca in Saint Lucia after a early life in church and on cruise ships, and gives details of the show with its star-studded cast of soca singers. This event, in the middle of the massive Trinidad Carnival celebrations, is another side of how Caribbean people celebrate. Mon 21 Jan, 2024
