Ok, this one may be controversial but after a conversation, I had today I just had to make this list because at the end of the day, Jab doh care. Here are 5 things that may not be Grenadian but we’re claiming.
1- Soca- A while ago I was having a conversation with a friend from Jamaica, we started talking about music, and she asked me what music Grenada was known for? Soca, I responded, then she was like, Nope, Soca is a Trini thing. I was like, girl please, have you ever listened to Grenadian soca. I then loaded up youtube and send on some Grenadian soca her way. When she was finished she had to crown us Soca Country. So yes, I don’t care if Soca is a Trini thing, we’re claiming it.
2- Pelau- I have been eating Pelau since I was a baby in pampers. However, I did a google search only to find that pelau originated in Trinidad. Well I don’t know how this works, but we are claiming Pelau
3- Sheldon Scott- Sheldon is me good palocks, and if he see this he will cuss me off. However, I heard some people saying that he is a Trini, well again, Sorry Trinidad, again, we are claiming him.
4- Pan- Last carnival we didn’t have panorama and that caused a massive uproar in Grenada, that’s because of the deep love we have for the pan. For that reason alone we are claiming pan. However, I do believe more can be done to promote it, and I am looking forward to seeing what’s going on with Panorama 2018.
5- The Mighty Sparrow- So, in reality, Sparrow is Grenadian because he was born in Grenada; nevertheless, he is widely regarded as a Trinidadian calypsonian and the calypso king of the world. He has won Trinidad’s Carnival Road March competition eight times, Calypso King/Monarch eight times, and has twice won the Calypso King of King’s title. So guess what Trinidad, we are claiming him to
sorry to say but pan is off Grenada and Trinidad just develop it more
