Archived: Raskality, Fadda Moses, Jamelody Bring Fire…
In what can only be described as an unprecedented move, three of the Caribbean’s rising entertainment professionals have teamed up to unleash a song that’s being described as a cut above the rest. This morning, Trinidad and Tobago’s Raskality, formerly known as simply, Raskal, together with Fadda Moses and reggae balladeer, Jamelody, have unleashed DNK – Dem Never Know.
Raskality says he plans on releasing another track off his EP in about a month.
The single is the first of seven to be released off Raskal’s EP- ‘Alive and Well’, set for release in the coming months. He said he called on Fadda Moses and Jamelody to join him on the project, which features a sample of Sizzla Kalonji’s sound, because he felt they’d each offer something unique to it. In the end, the track’s definitely a mind-blowing one, delivering an earthy undertone that’s powerful from beginning to end. The track was produced by DLL, the producer who worked on The Re-Birth by Lil Saint which featured Raskality last year. “We each wrote our lyrics for what we sang and in the end, I think what we’ve created is something you’d find people like DJ Khaled doing- fusing different energies, styles and flavours to create a blend that’s far superior to anything else,” said Raskality.
Talks are underway for the song’s distribution to mainstream global music markets, by VP Atlanta. “I plan on releasing another track in a month’s time,” said the artiste, emphasising again that each single on the EP will give fans of music, something completely unique to hold on to. “I hope what I’m doing here will encourage other artistes to go against the musical norms, push for a different sound and think about wider markets. Music is an expression- an art, of each individual artiste’s vibe and feeling, what they stand for, so everyone doing the same thing is a bit redundant if you ask me. I’ve chosen to change up my game a bit and hopefully, people from all walks of life will understand it and enjoy it,” said the young idealist.

Destra Delivers Powerfully at Reflections.
“If this sharing that I’m doing touches anyone, I’m truly grateful. None of us are perfect. Some days you’ll feel good, some days you won’t, but it’s all part of the journey. Sometimes what you’re looking for is right on the horizon, and the moment you give up, you miss it. If my testimony makes anyone feel something, then my work here is done.” – DESTRA GARCIA
Trinidad and Tobago received a musical showcase of spiritual awakening yet again this past Saturday, at Destra’s ‘Reflections: Sound. Spirit. Surrender.” The event took place at Queen’s Hall, St. Ann’s and proved to be a truly inspiring and uplifting musical experience.
From the onset, the show set a standard that fans of good music with powerful lyrics, would rave about for weeks. David Rudder – a cultural icon of Calypso music out of Trinidad and Tobago, welcomed the audience as he hit the stage first delivering the very fitting, ‘High Mas.’ It was a powerful blessing no doubt – something that would lead into a seamless spiritual production. He was subsequently joined on stage by Destra, something that created a full-circle moment that drew immediate emotion from the audience.
Known for her unmistakeable vocal ability, Destra took her audience on a carefully curated musical journey, opening her set with Free Again before transitioning into slowed-down, soul-stirring renditions of some of her most beloved songs, including Love Somebody and Fly and with each performance, she revealed a different layer of her artistry, offering vulnerability, reflection, and strength.
One of the night’s most touching highlights came as Garcia shared the stage with her daughter, Xaiya, for a heartfelt duet of The Prayer. Beginning at the piano, Xaiya gently set the tone before joining her mother in song, creating an intimate moment that resonated deeply with the audience.
The production, which was creatively directed by Zara Bartels and Isoke Edwards, also showcased the incredible talent of father and son pan duo Martin and De’jean Cain as well as the Maria Regina Grade School and St. Joseph’s Convent Port- of- Spain choirs, whose vibrant and polished performances brought a refreshing, youthful energy to the stage. Gospel artiste, Nisa joined Garcia for a powerful duet of Bridge Over Troubled Water. She also performed her original composition Make Me Over, adding another layer of spiritual depth to the evening.
As the show built toward its finale, Garcia delivered a commanding rendition of Ella Andall’s Bring Down the Power, followed by classic hymns including A Little More Oil in My Lamp. This climactic segment was elevated by the presence of traditional belle dancers and African drummers, creating a rich, cultural fusion that brought the audience to its feet. Beyond the performances, the overall production, brought to life through Bridgette Wilson’s choreography and Atiba Borde’s costuming, stood out for its seamless execution, immersive ambience, and thoughtful storytelling, reinforcing Reflections as more than just a concert, but a transformative experience.
Reflections certainly delivered a powerful blend of music, filled with deep messages and meaning. In what is a very spiritual season, Destra, through the delivery of ‘Reflections,’ has carved out a space for inspiration and connection within Trinidad and Tobago’s cultural landscape – something that many would agree, is a necessity more than an option.
