According to
this Trinidad Express
article there will
be no live performances by Machel Montano HD in Trinidad Carnival 2010. No Alternative Concept (AC) apparently due to the
lack of venues since the T&T Government has said that the Hasely Crawford Stadium will not be used for Carnival events.
Make no mistake Machel will still be releasing soca music for 2010 some of which have already received air play. Listen to some of
the new 2010 soca from Machel Montano - ’Hot
Like Pepper’ recorded with Serani, ’Tell Me’, ’Bad Behaviour’ , ’Bumper To Fender’,
’Awrite’ and ’Feteing On’ with Skinny Fabulous.
Machel claims that it is an opportunity
for him to step aside, take a break and let the others in his HD family shine like Patrice Roberts, Farmer Nappy, Zan
and Umi Marcano.
In my opinion Machel just getting old, he was absent for Carnival 2009 because his performances lacked
the same energy as it had in the past. Maybe it is a good idea to rest this season and begin anew in 2011. You will be missed
by some but not all.
UPDATE: JANUARY 4TH, 2010 - I was listening
to Red 96.7 today and Hyper Hoppa mentioned that Machel is working on something very top secret and needs to time off to concentrate
and give all his energy to it. Wonder what that could be?
Wishing
you and yours 12 Months of happiness, 52 weeks of fun, 365 Days of laughter, 8760 hrs of good luck, 525600 Minutes
of joy, 31536000 seconds of success, So wishing you a Happy New Year 2010
