Hail Fans of Soca Music, Caribbean Culture, Good Times or....Alex Jordan.
This summer is promising to be a sizzler, and if you live in the UK you should be jubilant for that! If you live in Zaragoza Spain however (...where you ask? Exactly) its a bloody nightmare. This town was contructed in a desert, so its hot and dry until 11pm every night and I am working here for 2 weeks. When I say hot....how is 40 degrees for you?! Sheesh. Its Expo 2008 so there are people from all over the world - now that is cool.
But after Spain, its back to the UK for a fortnight of warm up fetes, then Carnival in ROTTERDAM! Bring it on baby...Rotterdam is (not just) anywhere, but rather in sweet Holland. Soca fans from across Europe make it religiously, and I am no fool. There is a warm up party in Amsterdam the Friday night if you're near by. Its the weekend of July 26th.
After Rotterdam, its Crop Over in Barbados then Spice Mas in Grenada. Here you will get all the news, gossip, photos, videos - you'll feel like your'e there!
Check out the UK's only National Soca Music Show right here now www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/alexjordan because I spoke to Eddy Grant this week (the big man in the photo with me...you may know him from such hits as Electric Avenue, War Party among others....). It's big.
One love from the desert,
Alex Jordan. x
