Archived: Machel, Bunji Share Historic Moment At EDM Concert In Trinidad

The Sunset Festival hosted by Major Lazer’s Diplo, Walshy Fire and Jillionaire in Trinidad on the weekend, may very well go down as the biggest EDM festival to date, in this part of the world- but beyond that, what fans of that genre and the Soca genre, may remember for decades to come, is the moment when musical competitors, Machel Montano, Fay-Ann Lyons and Bunji Garlin posed together in what can only be described as a picture perfect photo of unity among soca stars.

The weekend proved to be an historic one for the soca music industry.

For quite some time, the energy between the trio seemed unnerving- distant and bleak, however, the Sunset festival hosted at O2 Park in Chaguaramas on the weekend, may have been the ice breaker that was needed for a new era of Trinbagonian unity in music.

Captioning an instagram post that captured the essence of the moment, Bunji Garlin wrote, “All Together at the same damn time,” a photo that tagged, Machel Montano, Fay-Ann Lyons, Walshy Fire, Kes the Band, Skrillex, Jillionaire, Diplo and MX Prime.

Whether this is the beginning of greater things to look forward to, for the artistes of soca music and for further promotion of the genre itself, is yet to be seen- but one thing is certain and that’s the fact that, the unified group selfie was enough to get carnival 2015 started in a perfect way!
