FOR C2K6 even section leaders in various mas bands are pulling out all stops to ensure they stay ahead of their game!

“Sunset in San Tropez” a section produced by entertainment company “Red Paradise” in big band Poison’s 2006 presentation “Dreams”, has taken the lead and has written and produced their own music for their 250 strong masqueraders.

New kid on the soca block Trini Jacobs and heartthrob Kees Difenthaller have collaborated on an effort coming from the pen of songwriter Nadia Batson.

K.C Phillips arranged the song out of Kenny Phillips’ studio.

And like Trini, “Sunset in San Tropez’ spokesperson Josie Ann Carrington, is all excited and confident that the big tune Red Paradise named after their company, could very well end up a hot Road March contender for upcoming season.

“It’s our (Red Paradise) debut presentation in the mas and we felt it prudent to the industry that we introduce ourselves to the public with a soca jam,” explained Carrington.

“We also personalised the song so people could identify with us (Red Paradise) and the section.”

She went on: “We are also trying to assist young artistes and Trini, who although she has been around for some time, is not really well-known.

“We shopped around and Trini’s voice was the one much suited to the song.

“We were also lucky to get Kees Diffenthaller in on the act.”

The song, Red Paradise, tells all about TnT and what the Carnival spirit evokes in our people.

Carrington hopes that the strength of the tune will have not only masqueraders in “Sunset in San Tropez” jumping but also all the sections in “Dreams”.

Meanwhile, Trini Jacob is bowled over by the collaboration with Diffenthaller.

“Working in studio with Kees feels great,” she chuckled.

“It’s sounding good.”
