Music

I really love the ultra happy music of Trinidad: Soca...and truth be told I listen to it most of the time, except when I really have to boost those beta waves to stay awake while correcting the never ending pile of my students' coursework... However, when asked to list my top 10 Albums, I went back over the years, got eclectic and came up with this: 

1. Bob Marley – Chances Are
2. Lauryn Hill – The Miseducation of…
3. Gil Scott-Heron – Spirits
4. Jan Garbarek – Officium
5. Michael Nyman – The Piano
6. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – Ella & Louis
7. Ernest Ranglin – In Search of the Lost Riddim
8. Tracy Chapman – Tracy Chapman
9. Erykah Badu – Baduizm
10. Stevie Wonder – Songs in the Key of Life

(ps. it was very hard to narrow down from 25, and is liable to change at the drop of a hat...especially when I inflicted with a sudden memory...)

So now for some soca shares....


• First up the man now calling himself Monk Monté for some bizarre reason on which I have no wish to speculate....Machel Montano.

• Next we have the indomitable Fay-Ann Lyons
