'Can't Take
Trini Outta Me' - JMC 3 Veni Releases New Patriotic Track |
 PORT-OF-SPAIN,
Trinidad Dec. 20, 2007: Caribbean crossover band JMC
3Veni recently released "Can't Take Trini Outta Me," a
collaboration with new solo artist Remmi-D, and is poised
for Carnival 2008.
Considered a pioneer of crossover music both locally and
internationally, JMC 3Veni, led by the talented and
charismatic Veerendra Persad, is excited about its latest
offering for 2008, "Can't Take Trini Outta Me." The track
comes in two installations, the first depicting the yearning
and nostalgia of the Caribbean migration reality, the second
or "unplugged" version, a more somber and introspective look
at the same topic.
An elated Persad, speaking from his band room in San Juan,
described the song as having "...simple yet powerful lyrics.
Remmi-D is a Caribbean migrant and a close friend of the
band.
"This topic is obviously universal in its appeal, not only
for Trinis, but for everyone as the world really becomes
that global village. We have chosen to celebrate our
identity with this song, and are happy to share it with
Trini and Caribbean people all over the world." |

As has been the
case in the latter half of the band's thirty-year existence,
3Veni has had a very successful year at home and abroad,
representing crossover, soca and chutney in Europe, Miami,
and also at Caribana and Labor Day festivals. The band was
at the annual "Carnival In Yuh Backyard," one of the largest
outdoor Carnival-type events worldwide.
When asked about the band's upcoming performances for the
2008 season and Carnival on the road with top-tier Trini
Revellers mas band, Persad's face lit up, "There is no place
like home. We always look forward to performing for the
local fans. They have been good to us for thirty years, and
we're happy to give back, to quote Iwer, 'fete after fete
after fete.'"
"Can't Take Trini Outta Me" can be heard on the Caribbean
programming airwaves both locally and internationally and on
Internet radio. It is also available in stores and as a
permanent download, at http://www.remmid.com/products.html.
