T&T Road March 1932-2007

Wed Feb 21st '07 ~ Machel Montano's 'JUMBIE' copped the 2007 ROAD MARCH title by the widest margin in Carnival history. The Kernal Roberts penned Carnival favorite recorded 388 plays, while 2nd place Sherwayne Winchester's 'OPEN D'GATE' was played a total of 34 times.
Machel's 'JUMBIE DANCE' could be seen all through the streets of Port-of-Spain over the 2-day Carnival.
Songwriter Kernal Roberts was also responsible for Carnival 2007 party favorites 'Down D Road','Higher Than High' and 'Light It Up' (ft Patrice Roberts). The win marks back to back Road March titles for Kernal & Machel as 'Band of D Year' also took top honours in 2006.
