 While Ole Woman , featured the distinct sound of the Jab Riddim complete with the pulsating sound of the conch shell, Tallpree’s current hit 'Wicked Jab' , goes beyond just using the Jab Riddim but gives a detailed description of what it means to play Jab Jab . While some in Grenada have been negative in their attitude toward the Jab Jab phenomenon, Tallpree, has become a well-liked and in-demand entertainer by featuring the one component of Grenada’s Carnival that is authentically indigenous. Since the conclusion of the 2009 carnival season in Grenada, Tallpree has been constantly touring. New York’s Labor Day , Miami’s Carnival and to date 5 trips to Toronto have been included on his very hectic schedule. The spike-haired image and elbow-spiraling dance brought to the soca world a refreshing and distinctive flavor to counter the monotony of the jump and wave and flags and rags era. Ten years on, history is about to repeat itself with another fresh dose of Tallpree and by extension Grenada. Tallpree’s image has become a selling point and the best advertisement for Grenada’s carnival with the success of his most recent hit. All involved in the process, Grenada's tourism officials included, should ensure that all possible support be given to Tallpree. |
