Nine Mind Entertainment and Lenkey Records presents the Upendo Rddim for Carnival 2018; a fusion of sweet calypso groove, vintage flavours and modern tones. When we speak ‘Upendo’ (Ou-Pendo) we mean Love. The Swahili word is reflective of our African origins and the language is one of the most popular in the continent of Africa.

Drawing inspiration from the land of our ancestors is an intentional reminder of the root of our culture and the origination of sweet Calypso music. The Upendo Riddim represents Love, which is one of the keys to our salvation. In this critical time, we need Love. To survive in today’s world, we need to be reminded of the power of love.

Love is the key. Let the sentiment of Love and all that is involuntary about it control you.

Some of the strongest musical names in Caribbean music have joined the Upendo movement with Nine Mind Entertainment and Lenkey Records. Each track has the underlying message of love in varying scenarios. They are

Machel Montano - Take It Slow
Voice - Year For Love
Turner - Champions
M1 aka Menace - Ups And Downs
I-Octane - Hey Mama Share your feedback; Like/Dislike, Comment + Share!!

In the soca arena, consistency is what sets you apart from the flock and Voice has been just that. He is writing soca songs on a deeper level and his lyrical content is superior. He is the future of this new soca movement and if he continues on this level he can mirror iconic status like a Bob Marley but for soca like Bob did for reggae. Artist like him comes once in a generation and I think he is something special and all of Trinidad and Tobago should be proud of this young man. It's quite evident that he loves his country of T&T and is concerned about its future. May he continue on his path to soca greatness and keep touching the people with love and music. Have a successful Carnival season 2018 in T&T.

Aaron I'm begging, please please, take this one to the Big Yard. Calypso Monarch business. Personally, Voice has outgrown the 'competition' aspect of Soca Monarch. Time to continue the mission and revive Calypso music.

Voice scores a musical boundary once again! Positive soca music that you can party to just as Ras Shorty-I intended when he created the "Soul Of Calypso" back in the early 1970's.
