Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. January 16th, 2024 — No matter where
they roam, and for what purpose foreign lands become their home,
Trinbagonians always yearn for their island in the sun, even if it’s
just for a short while. “Looking out at the scenery from a bus – scenery
that is bleak and the place is just cold… at some point the average
Trini gets homesick,” admits Soca and Chutney Soca artiste, Rikki Jai.
He’s in Trinidad now, unleashing new soca music, and happily taking in
the island breeze. One of his singles, ‘Home Sick’ gets real about the
reality of migration to foreign lands.
