Ready For Di Road: Watch Bunji Garlin’s “Differentology” Video

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Bunji Garlin Differentology

The video for Bunji Garlin’s “Differentology” is one of the most anticipated ever from a soca artist. “Differentology” was the breakout tune of Trinidad’s carnival season, a season which has already produced some memorable, high-concept videos that have stepped up the game for soca visuals. Months have passed since Carnival hype died down, but the hype surrounding “Differentology” has only grown. Even The Guardian has taken notice, naming it first in a list of “Essential summer jams for 2013.” Throw in the fact that the video was shot (and publicized) back in the afterglow of carnival in February, and you have the biggest soca story in mont

Machel Montano Represent

The 13-minute-long clip for Machel Montano and Trini band Freetown Collective‘s “Represent (Remix)” is definitely not your typical soca video. As much of a short film as it is a music video, the visuals are a continuation of God Loves the Fighter (read our story about it here), director Damian Marcano’s upcoming movie set against Port of Spain’s criminal underworld. And, though the song has a soca riddim, it’s message is a cultural one more typical of reggae.
