Faye and Bunji’s New Arrival

Sounds Best With Soca would like to extend congratulations to Faye Ann Lyons and Bunji Garlin on their new arrival.

The baby girl arrived on Saturday 28th February. Given that fact that she is the granddaughter of Superblue, the daughter of Faye Ann and Bunji AND born in carnival week, we’d think that she is a TRUE carnival baby!

Trinidad and Tobago Road March 2009

For those who have been paying attention, you would have known that the Road March title was a fierce battle between the ladies – Faye Ann Lyons with her hit Meet Superblue that netted her the title of Power Soca Monarch last Friday; verses Destra with Bachannal.

Both songs were played many times on the road, but in the end it was Faye Ann Lyons who came out on top and has won the Road March for 2009 and in doing so has created history – the first female artist to win the Power and Groovy Soca Monarchs and Road March – all in the same year.

With the imminent arrival of her daughter, we’d say that this has been a blockbuster year for Faye Ann!
