The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians? Organisation has congratulated soca star Iwer George on his newly launched radio station.
George, a multiple road march and soca monarch winner, is station manager at the Point Fortin-based Trini Bashment radio station, which occupies 91.9 fm on the radio frequency spectrum.In a statement yesterday, TUCO public relations officer Karega Mandela said George was one of T&T?s most outstanding artistes and had blazed a trail for others to follow.
?His determination has certainly borne fruit and we are proud of his achievement,? Mandela said.
The newest station will feature soca music 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
George told the Guardian recently that there were 35 years of untouched soca music which newcomers to the artform will get a chance to hear.
?The generation that is digging soca music right now will get a chance to hear what the music sounded like years ago,? he said.
The new station will also feature news from its hometown in Point Fortin, international news and soca entertainment news.
Trini Bashment was launched last Thursday after George received his radio licence in July.
