The Strictly Local Radio Show continues to blaze a trail across the Caribbean creative landscape, and this week’s session was nothing short of electrifying. Titled Calypso Fire, the episode brought together the dynamic energy of host DjFlexx868 and the powerful artistry of Brother Light’Bourne. From the very first beat, listeners were immersed in a wave of rhythm, inspiration, and pure Caribbean fire — a celebration of culture that reminds us why calypso remains one of the region’s most enduring and transformative art forms.
Brother Light’Bourne, our featured guest, shared deep insights into his 2026 contribution Art of Peace. More than just a calypso piece, it is a cultural statement — weaving together themes of unity, resilience, and creativity. His reflections revealed how music can serve as both a mirror of society and a tool for healing, resonating with communities across Trinidad & Tobago and beyond. The conversation highlighted not only his artistry but also his commitment to using calypso as a platform for dialogue and empowerment.
Adding to the excitement, Brother Light’Bourne’s journey has already captured national attention. He was one of the selected creatives performing at the semifinals of the prestigious Young Kings Calypso Competition 2026, a stage that continues to spotlight emerging voices in the genre. His performance there showcased his ability to blend traditional calypso storytelling with modern relevance, earning him recognition as a rising force in the cultural movement. Strictly Local Radio gave listeners a front-row seat to that journey, bridging the gap between stage and studio.
The synergy between DjFlexx868’s hosting and Brother Light’Bourne’s artistry made Calypso Fire a session overflowing with energy and inspiration. It was more than entertainment — it was a cultural experience, a reminder of the power of local voices, and a testament to the creative fire burning across Trinidad & Tobago. As District TT Media continues to amplify Trinbago stories, this episode stands as proof that the future of calypso is not only alive but blazing with new possibilities.
