Parang Released, Shurwayne Jets Off To Cayman. More On The Way.

Not every Soca artist can say they’re as versatile as Shurwayne Winchester. His vocal range has gotten him into spaces only few have had the opportunity to perform in. This week, he’s in the Cayman Islands, performing at an event dubbed, “Block Party” there. It features internationally acclaimed DJ, Walshy Fire. He’s the only Soca artist on the cast on the Friday night, and he’ll be there delivering that good energy to the people. For this, Shurwayne says he’s grateful.

Shurwayne has released a soca parang song dedicated to mothers.

Shurwayne released a brand new soca parang song last week. It’s called, “Mama This Parang is For You.” The song’s been an instant hit on radio frequencies in Trinidad and Tobago that are known for playing the seasonal music. As the name of the song suggests, the lyrics, penned by the Tobago born entertainer and fellow artiste, Preacher, emphasizes the gratitude felt for what mothers do for their children. In Shurwayne’s case, his relationship with his mom holds great significance. “My mother is my heart. I’m so blessed to have her in my life still. That’s something I’ll never take for granted,” he said.

With major work underway in the studio, Shurwayne’s excited for what’s coming. He says he’s collaborated with a new artiste from across the islands and he can’t wait to unleash the song that he describes as, ‘one for the ladies,’ in the days ahead. “The thing about music is, we have to create songs that last. We can’t simply give the people music that’s just for a season and after that season it’s not worthy of rotation at fetes and on radio,” he said, explaining that it can be a challenge at times but as an artiste who’s been in the game for over two decades, it’s something he’s learned to deal with. “It’s really hard work to come up with a hit song every single season. The best we can do is explore new trends, work with new artistes, keep our ear to the ground and thread the water. I don’t subscribe to being a one dimensional act. If you’re a singer, you can sing anything,” he said excitedly.

In the past, Shurwayne has given music lovers major collaborations with artistes like Busy Signal, Maxi Priest, Christopher Martin and most recently, ahead of Carnival 2023, David Rudder. He says he believes in music’s power to change conditions and mindsets and with that, he plans on continuing to give the world the very best of himself, from a place he knows is true and positive.

Though weary, family and friends, along with Damian ‘Ace’ Oliverie himself, will not give up on the prospects of a bright and happy future. Now diagnosed with Multiple myeloma – a cancer of the body’s plasma cells, a type of white blood cells charged with producing antibodies- the well-loved Trinidad and Tobago entertainer, husband and father, will require chemotherapy and constant treatment for the rest of his life. 

Oliverie was rushed to hospital on the morning of March 2nd. Initially, a diagnosis had not been confirmed, however a surgical procedure to decompress his spine had been accomplished. His wife has explained that since the surgery, he has been receiving continued treatment and requires round the clock care. “In recent weeks Damian has been plagued by a number of infections and complications, but he is strong and we are faithful,” said Kizzy. 

Unwavering in spirit, many in the entertainment industry have pledged their support to the artiste’s recovery. On June 14th, they will gather as one to raise funds for Damian’s medical expenses and his continued healthcare. Recovery The Concert will take place at WASA’s St. Joseph grounds with patrons being asked to contribute $200 to attend and experience the music of reggae, soca and dancehall artistes from both Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. The event starts at 7pm and will go until 12am with all proceeds going towards Damian’s healthcare. “Although the initial surgery addressed the spinal issue, doctors have advised that there is still a great deal of treatment necessary,” said Mrs. Oliverie. 

Tickets for the Recovery Concert are available online at islandetickets.com and the list of physical ticket outlet locations can be viewed @recovery_the_concert on Instagram. “We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of love, prayer and support received,” said Kizzy, adding that assistance offered in any way, is appreciated. “Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. This has ultimately shaken our family to the core, but we will get through it with God and the support of our village. We are grateful to you all,” she said.
