Differentology- the hit soca single of carnival 2o13 made its way to BET’s 106th and Park this evening, much to the excitement of true soca lovers in Trinidad and Tobago and certainly across the world. The Viking, as he’s dubbed and his wife,  Fay-Ann Lyons fashionably made their presence felt on the New York based entertainment music countdown show, strutting confidently in performance mode, before diplomatically telling hosts Bow Wow and Keshia Chanté that the Tobago Jazz fiasco was behind them.

The Trinibagonian  soca artistes flew to NYC earlier this week amid a sea of controversial comments regarding their recent decision to pull out of the Tobago Jazz showcase last week Friday. Despite ongoing chatter on the subject, Garlin and his wife posted photos on Instagram showing that the 106th and Park appearance was happening. With that, the mood of many seemed to convert as supportive tweets and Facebook posts began popping up.

Speaking in the post performance interview today, Bunji highlighted that the name Bunji was chosen after much research for a name that would stand out. He said it stemmed from Bungy jumping and noted that much like the sport entails, he has worked at ensuring that despite the words or actions of naysayers or the negativity that sometimes arises, despite how it may attempt to pull him down, he remains forever focused on rising above it all. He was questioned on his Carnival performance schedule and Bow Wow, highlighting a particular night that saw the Viking Band perform at nine events, asked how he could pull that off. It was then that Bunji said his wife, Fay-Ann plays a key role as she is able to hold down the stage with him in a dynamic way.

Fay-Ann Lyons, dressed in a pair of colourful pants, black high heeled boots and a black top took the opportunity to highlight her ambitions as well. She told the BET hosts that she is working on her first album with Boy Wonder out of Canada.

The duo’s appearance on 106th and Park today was just one of a fleet of appearances expected across the United States as Bunji continues to promote Differentology with VP Records.
