Hours before the performance that few in T&T saw coming, Bunji Garlin was seen rehearsing with EDM music’s head men, Diplo and Skrillex. Some 42, 217 likes beneath the Instagram pic, posted by Diplo and a series of anticipated sentiments by fans from around the world, and Ebuzztt.com immediately knew that the performance would change things.

Bunji is no longer 'regular' and that's a good thing.

Bunji is no longer ‘regular’ and that’s a good thing.

Months ago, even during Carnival 2016, Bunji had signaled to us that huge things were taking place involving him, behind the scenes. He had been hard at work on his video for “The Message,” with Damian ‘Junior Gong’ Marley and he was even seen in studio in Trinidad with the likes of Kardinal O and Agent Sasco. Bunji was not being regular and we don’t think he’ll ever be ‘regular’ again.

On Friday night in California, thousands saw and felt the energy of Trinidad and Tobago’s leading lyricist. The EDM saturated single that stands strongly on the album,”Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack U”, which took the Grammy award earlier this year for Best Dance/Electronic Album, resonated through the arena and every hand went up. “Jungle Bae” was like soca on steroids at Coachella and by the look of things, many will be subscribing to Garlin as the weeks roll on. Online many inquired, “who is the singer?”, to which those who knew said, “Bunji Garlin”. The bewildered were eager to learn more.

On his social media pages, following the high energy performance, Bunji said, “It was a joy to smash the stage tonight in the outdoor theatre Coachella to thousands with Jacku @diplo @skrillex thank you Fam. See you at the next one. #Junglebae.”

Bunji and Fay are enjoying California today.

What’s next? Like you, we wait to see, with bated breath. Today, the soca heavyweight and his wife will likely enjoy the California sights and sounds, making headway onto a circuit that demands much, but one that we know they’re both capable of commanding.

T&T Visual Artist AndyVenture Readies for First Solo Exhibition at the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago.

The Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago will host the inaugural solo exhibition of Trinidad-based visual artist and musician AndyVenture, known professionally as VENCHA. OVER YA HEAD opens on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 and runs through July 4, 2026. Admission is free and the public is invited to experience a body of work that deliberately resists easy interpretation — placing the viewer in direct contact with ideas that exceed ordinary perception.

OVER YA HEAD is a multidisciplinary exhibition spanning painting and visual narrative. The works explore perception, ascension, limitation and expanded states of human experience, presenting images that challenge fixed ways of seeing reality and imagine possibilities beyond ordinary existence.

Drawing from Einstein’s theory of relativity and mathematical concepts of higher-dimensional space, AndyVenture treats the exhibition as an invitation to encounter ideas that operate at the outer limits of human comprehension. The title itself is both provocation and promise – the work is not designed to be immediately understood, but to be genuinely felt.

Central to the exhibition is an evolving visual mythology: recurring figures known as Ahomi and Dem appear across paintings as anchors of a larger conceptual world that AndyVenture has been steadily constructing across his practice.“I want the audience to encounter something that sits outside of familiar understanding. There isn’t an expectation of immediate understanding. The experience is about confronting something that operates beyond what is easily grasped,” said Ventura.

A Little About The Artist.

AndyVenture (VENCHA), born Andre Allong, is a Trinidad-based visual artist and musician whose practice spans painting, music and multimedia expression. His work draws on graffiti art, hip hop and rapso lyricism, comic book art, science fiction and contemporary culture to create vibrant, conceptually layered works that move between the personal and the cosmic.

Visually, his work reflects the influence of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby, whose expansive sense of scale and form shaped how AndyVenture approaches composition and impact, alongside local luminaries Leroy Clarke and Carlisle Chang, whose practices carry a strong sense of vision and cultural identity. He further developed his artistic foundation through the Visual Arts Certificate Programme at The University of the West Indies.

Conceptually, the work is rooted in a rejection of cycles of conflict and suffering that are routinely accepted as fixed features of human existence. In their place, AndyVenture imagines the possibility of an evolved human consciousness – one oriented towards perception, potential and transformation. One of the conceptual anchors running through his practice is the interplay between the words axis and access – a linguistic shift that reframes mathematical structure as a metaphor for perception itself and how different ways of seeing might open entirely different experiences of reality.

“I’m interested in the possibility that human perception and behaviour can evolve beyond those patterns. The work comes from a rejection of the cycles of conflict and suffering that are often accepted as part of human existence.” AndyVenture (VENCHA)
