- The 260 acres of Savannah Grass are the lungs of Port of Spain, Trinidad. A place of artistic expression and recreation. As a people we have shared so many magical moments in this sweet botanical, with each other and the world. We celebrate and honour all who make this place the source of culture and good vibes year after year. We go make them jump and free up!!

I know this a Trinidad song but this feel like a whole Caribbean song to me. Man this song gonna be a classic
Mona Chiedu 😍😍😍😍😍
It is a whole Caribbean song ❤
Soca 2020
This captures the essence of the spirit of Carnival. The way u feel when feet hit that savannah and ur section ready. I don’t know how it is now, but I did kiddies and youth and I remember the excitement in the atmosphere.
Every blue moon certain songs transcends the island of its birth and duz do so. Savannah Grass certainly qualifies as such
The thing about this song is that this is a once in a lifetime song. It may not have won road march that year but it instills a different type of feeling in you. The emotions you get of pride, joy, peace, happiness and the feeling of unity you get will surpass any title. Years will come and go but this will always remain as one of the best Soca songs ever made. So many years later and you still get the goosebumps as if you're hearing it for the first time. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
This is a song if unity mohn, still listening it just brings a good feeling when I listen to it. To me it's not just a carnival song.
you en lie, could completely relate to your comment even tho i'm grenadian
im not trini, im from canada but have enjoyed soca for years. but this song is, imo, one ofthe best ive heard, so yeah totally agree with you.
You summed this up perfectly. I got goose bumps hearing it the first time. I blasted it on repeat for days lol❤
I am Jamaican but when I listen to this song it speaks to a people with a unique culture. Let us protect what is ours and keep the culture strong.
from a Trini to a Yardie.... LOVE IN DE HOUSE!!! #FromTT2JAWithLove
Facts 🎉
It's unfortunate that many people reduce our culture to the sexualization of women but I've stopped explaining that there is more to it. This song embodies the true essence of carnival and what it is about. I'm so emotional!!
Does anyone else feel the Ancestors are in this song? It's like it unites past and present, hard to explain.
Exactly! It gives me goosebumps
Yessss ❤️
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
I feel them!
That’s why the video includes all the footage of past Carnivals 🙂
Not even Trinidadian but this song is so moving and powerful. It bought tears to my eyes...weird. Love from Barbados! 🇧🇧
True 👍
You are Caribbean. Its not weird. We all came on the same boat you know Sister.
Much love to Krosfyah 💯💯♥️♥️
We are a connected people spiritually no matter the Caribbean, Americas, Australia, and even the Motherland Alkebulan (Africa). We are one people,
Even though it lost to ‘Famalay’, for 2019 Road March Song, I think ‘SAVANNAH GRASS’ will be played and remembered longer. It’s a song that touches the soul, as the essence of T&T Carnival, like none of it’s rivals except maybe ‘So Long’ - just my humble opinion‼️
Dianne Haynes facts. Although famalay is a great song but savannah grass will be played 10 years later and still have the same affect as it does today in 2019
This. Savannah Grass will prove to be a timeless hit. Every single time I listen to this I get emotional and can FEEL the spirit of carnival despite having never experienced it.
Famalay is great, love the beat... but it gets boring very quickly for me.
Savannah Grass does remind meh of Trini to de Bone.
Listen in my eyes it won even my 79 year old mum was singing she said this reminds her of the old times that's a winner x
well said
I'm not even from Trinidad....I'm Mexican born and raised in So California now in Arizona but I absolutely LOVE your music and culture. It's majority of my Playlists and I blast it in the car, at work, while cleaning at home etc lol....planning a trip for next Feb to finally visit T&T...much love to you beautiful people
Love you too ❤😊 I want to go to Mexico one day
Did you ever made that trip❤😊
Same! Not Trinidadian but i find their culture so uplifting. Need ro go one day!
as a Trini, we appreciate you!! come soon!! 😁😁
@trini2DBone134 you should, I haven't been to Mexico in years but it's really nice.
I ain't even trini and this song gives me goosebumps, big up all my Jamaicans who have a passion for soca music
❤🇯🇲🇹🇹
I'm Jamacian but loves soca & calypso music
Nick Allen 🇯🇲
Big up all the islands
Nick Allen I’m Panamanian and Jamaican and soca puts me in such a good mood ughhh
Culture at its best 👏👏. I'm not even trini and tears came to my eyes. Bless Trinidad and Tobago from the sister country Guyana. #onecaribbean #onepeople.
khanlie you stole my comment lol
I was moved. Made me feel some type away!
Ah real good one
@@julieroberts9314 yep. Love it. My husband is trini and thanks to him I get to experience the TT carnival every yr for the last 6 yrs. It's just beautiful and glorious. 🔥🔥
Julie Roberts I feel you, saw this yesterday on IG and got goosebumps
Thank u this comment is very genuine
Today I'll call curry chicken, chicken curry, a tribute just for u. 👏 appreciate the love
I have no idea how else to explain to foreigners that the Savannah is the heart of trini culture🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
You don't miss it until you have no access....use to go running with my father there when it still had the race track on it...lol
true eh.... all you have to tell a foreigner is come to de savannah for them to get the fill experience lol
Goosebumps and tears, I'm from the states, San Francisco, never been to Trini but love the culture. Sparrow, Calypso Rose, Lord Shorty, Machel, Destra, Patrice etc.. and Kes! Hope I get to visit some day!
Patrick Greene start at Hollywood carnival! Baby steps. Consider Jamaica. About half the price of tt carnival. It’s a beautiful culture and there’s so much to it. Ultimately make a tt trip. Crossing the savanna is emotional!
Wow. Ive never met someone so touched by my culture. Id highly suggest coming. Find some good people you can trust. BE SAFE. But as long as you got that circle you can trust.. you 100 about. Im sure everything will be alright. Much love, hun❤❤❤
@@thetongueofangels1882 I'm a musician. I've been in reggae, funk and jazz bands since the 1980s. My current day job is listening and curating music for a major music streaming site. So I've been listening closely for a good 10-15 years. I've read (and listened) all about the Calypsonians Roaring Lion, Lord Kitchener, Might Sparrow, Black Stalin etc etc Kaiso, Rhapso, Chutney, Soca, Bashment, Jab Soca, Parang etc.etc. I am fascinated by the mix of cultures and music. The food must be amazing! I can hear a track and tell you which Caribbean island it came from with pretty good accuracy. I even understand most of the slang. A visit to TnT is definitely in my future.
@@pgtrio The food IS amazing! .... hooked on doubles
@@thetongueofangels1882
Oh, more than you know! Caribbean vybez ah go heal people dem, seen? From the Bahamas to TnT and everywhere in between! Guyana too! Yes-I! I hail from the States but am an island-bwoy at heart! One love!
I CRIED! AT WORK ! listening to this! I dont know why but this made me think of growing up in St Lucia- the simple things that were so good then - getting a dollar from my grand father (RIP) to go buy a bag of plums. Sitting on the steps watching my grandmother cut breadfruit! This songs melody is so beautiful and joyful and sad all in one- it makes you appreciate and love your island and think about the simple things of drinking fresh coconuts and enjoying life and music with friends. I have heard this song already 27 times and I will continue to listen to it and cling to those memories it reminds me of! Thank you for this song!

My grandpa{ RIP} used to give 5 of his grandkids 25cents( was worth more). It used to make us so happy! I used to buy 3 Joe gum, or pack sweet, or salt prune/ salt mango! 🇹🇹
Same
Oh my goodness! You've literally just described everything I've been feeling all day... This song has a nostalgic feeling that everyone will be able to identify a memory with... It's sad/scary how fast life goes by but those special moments are always in your hearts and mind 🇹🇹 🇬🇾 🏴
Brother Im a Christian. And I love your song. It's clean and captures the enjoyment of the season.

From the heart of a Jamaican situated in Canada, I salute you Kes for delivering the Trini cultural narrative using the platform of song! An exhilarating experience!
Lisa S-B agreed! 🙏🏼
This will mash up carribana
Dis chune did it... My carnival fever higher than ever
Kes is hands down the most consistent Soca artist since 2011. Hit after hit every single year. From Wotless to Savannah Grass, this man has contributed heavily to carnival to soca music. The man have his unique sound that just can’t be duplicated!
I'm Nigerian and I love soca... Good Music crosses all borders
Kes incorporated the true experience and the importance of what the Savannah means to us all. Love this song Kes.

All the comments have one thing in common: this song brings us home to the Caribbean, whichever country you're from, whatever your Savannah Grass is. Much love from a Jamaican born, Grenadian raised, Mexican resident.
Idc what anybody say but this is MY ROAD MARCH WINNER!🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹👏🏾
👋🇦🇬
Kes has always been underestimated. He always does great songs, this song, however, is different it shows our culture, our unity. You can hear our instruments, the video and song were well organized and choreographed. It brings an astoundingly happy feeling in your gut. I'm so proud of Kes, this song must win Road March because it's the first to make sense!
Underestimated? Not at all. Literally everyone expects that when Kes brings out a song it gonna be rel good
%100 agree. This should win Road March!!!
Agreed
For real every year he's getting better and better
Agree
Kes has done it AGAIN! Captured the Trini spirit, our viral creativity and fun loving, liberated selves during Carnival. The vintage footage all the way back to the 40s was amazing. What a joy to listen to this! HAPPINESS.
alieninthecaribbean yess 🙌🏾 goosebumps
@@maitlinjoyner107 ok

Not from Trinidad - I'm from Germany in fact but I feel so highly connected to soca music and the culture!
So much energy and it unites people !
If you guys have love for germans too I'd love to come over and visit Trinidad and maybe stay one day.
I tell you the weather here can be depressing sometimes .. summer is the only time when I feel truly alive every day 🌺
One Luv 💚🌴🧉🙏

I don't know how people can dislike this song, this in my opinion is one of the sweetest soca songs ever i mean i am a HUGE patrice roberts fan but you see this song has been my ringtone since it came out i love this song.
They people who have no spirit
Kes baby you may not have won the title.. but you sure won our hearts ❤❤❤ 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
correct
Trini Girl I thought he was sayine "we survived atlas" but his actually saying "with Savannah grass" hmm what's that🤔? is that a special type of grass in TNT or is he talking bout a place? we Survived atlas sounded better, I think
@@chooky7672 not sure about your question..do want to know if the lyric says Savannah grass or survived atlas??
Trini Girl I now know it says savannah grass. I just wanted to know if savannah grass is a place?
@@chooky7672 well he's singing about our Savannah .. it's the biggest roundabout in the world.
Usually it's the center of activities for carnival in Trinidad. And to answer the question.. Yes it has grass.!!!
Kes my brother take win with this song! Keep flying our flag high 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🇹🇹
🙌🏼🇹🇹🙌🏼🇹🇹🙌🏼🇹🇹
KES Yuh MC, how yuh will have a man emotional on the road?? This song touch meh soul yes, I love it.
lol
🤣
U sweet to bad with that comment! Lol
Lmao... Response on point
On the road with your bubaloops ass?
BEST song of 2019 ,2020,2021,2022,2023.................................ect.....this song hits different from all other soca from 2019
Writing from Barbados, just watching those clips from "old days" and hearing this song puts me in a happy place. Even though I have never been to Trinidad this song conjures up memories of years ago here in Bim. This song may have lost out to Machel and co the usual way songs do whenever it is close, but trust me, this song will love on forever.
WOOW!! Kes is always here to make us get goosebumps for soca!!
Have always loved KTB.... and to put this out after losing their dad shows the strength of their resolve and the power of music. I’m sure they are still mourning but still released something so uplifting... it is appreciated
Está la voy a poner de moda en Venezuela 🇻🇪 es pura energía y buena vibra 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This song is beautiful. I get emotional when I listen to it, and I understand and relate to their love and respect for the culture of Carnival. Culture is ancestral, and our Caribbean culture is the foundation of who we are as a people - our heritage, food, music, dance, art, speech and our resilience. I am from The Bahamas and Junkanoo is our love. It's our culture, our West African heritage, the gift our ancestors brought to the islands and left for us. Hold your culture close to your hearts my West Indian people! And tell the stories of your history so future generations know where they come from.🇧🇸🇧🇸
Thats it HATS off,
Kes well done brother
Brought me back to the 80's and I'm only in my 30's..
I love it everything was on point.... round of applause
this song is pure happiness 🔥🔥🔥 love love love it!!!
Yesssssss!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Nice. Kes is🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
The sprit of this song is the highest I have ever felt. This song makes me hug the memory of my parents. Both passed away this year 2021.
- Have a moment for yourself
- Play this song on repeat with 100% battery
- Just close your eyes
- Think of your parents embracing and surrounding you with the best memories.
Feel the Goosebumps everywhere in your body.
I’m sorry for your loss. You were blessed with Trini culture
Truly sorry for your losses
It all goes down on d Savannah Grass, loving the video it's nostalgic for sure. In 2019 we continue to create memories by d Savannah. Love this one, definitely a major one for the culture and tribute to Bunny. RIP
Jel I can't wait to see what you'll do with this. I been bumping your Osaka mix for the longest.
What is the name of the intro song

Your country was beautiful 😊
Before I saw the end of the video I was like kes dancing like his dad.....❤ #rip.
He must win Road March! This song will go down in history as one of soca’s best songs.
He was robbed this year I'm vex
ShesAhKeeperx3 it was!
Ooofff
When I saw this vidéo tears filled my eyes. Seeing what I knew as Carnival as a child is no more. St.Clair is where I used to go to meet the J'ouvert truck to play myself. He is reminding us of where and what we came from as Trinbagonians as our culture and Tradition is DYING. This tune deserved Road march for me. People say times changing but it's not true the Sun rise and set is still the same but people want to change their mind set. But please people keep our culture alive because it's DYING 😢
I am so happy a very special person from my past who made me a better person was from Trinidad and turned me into Soca. Smile everytime I hear Kes
Ever hear a tune and you want to cry with joy, this is the tune! Big up KTB always bringing the true island vibes 🇹🇹
Yesssssss Lawd!!!!! 😊😊😊😊☀☀☀☀☀💛💛💛💛💛💛One Love
Yesss this is me rn 😭😭

I have played this at least 50 times today. I am in love!!! I am planning a picnic for Soca music. Gonna wear my shortest shorts and vibe with the music super loud! And yes, Kes the Band is ALL over that playlist.
Wow. Brought tears to my eyes. The true Trini to the bone experience we feel in out hearts
The nostalgia that this song and the imagery of the video creates is overwhelmingly resonating and I'm not even Trini but a fellow islander. Makes me crave the good old days of island life, family and friends. 🇬🇾🇧🇧
Not trini, but this song made me appreciate my guyanese culture even more..
Me too 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Idk why this song brings tears to my eyes but the chune bad n I'm from Guyana 🇬🇾
Same here
Same here too!
Love anything Kes come with...this one touch me DEEP..🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The new Trini Anthem! Hearing this gives me goosebumps! A great song to unify our people!
This is possibly in the top 10 greatest musical creations of all time, across all eras of music. It's beyond words.
I feel this song deserves a "bigger" video. Such an amazing song.
Love from Naija 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Yesssssssss KES thee Band!!!!!! I Thank the Creator ❤❤❤👏for your Musical GENIUS..... Every tune you guys touch is a Happy Feel Good One....with positive vibes flowing effortlessly through each melody!!! Happiness flowed all through my body I had no choice but to get up and dance and then the tears began to stream down my face. (Happy tears) as I danced & smiled through pure happiness & bliss. A BIG THANK YOU....One Love
Why am I crying??? This is such a beautiful song. Makes me reminisce on my childhood days in Guyana. One Love!!!

I’m Dominican and somehow this song speaks to the very heart of our roots in the Caribbean regardless of what island .. love it 😍
My God, I’m not even Trini and this gave me goosebumps. Saw this first on IG and was blown away! Peace and love from Bahamas 🇧🇸
Kes...u took everything that I love about the Savannah and incorporated it into one song...thank you Kes..love and respect to you..missing my country...the Savannah Grass🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I am an American BLACK female, and THIS SONG IS MAKING ME JUMP . SOCA always catch me in the spine and my waist to make me wiggle. lol. I give love to all soca artist. Thank you Trinidad for real music for us in the U.S. I can relate to it.
nice
Where in the USA?
😂❤❤
The People's Road March. My Road March. I was there, I felt the power of this Masterpiece on the road.
I done been playing this chune straight for 5hrs now, and working on 6. Kes never lets us down. #oneofdibest
This song is wicked!!! The video bring back so much memories. Love my Trini culture to bad.... Thank you Kes for the good vibe.🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Even though like many Caribbean cultures, our people are African at heart, even though oceans seperate us. You still hear it in the music, see it in the dancing, foods, customs, slight dialects.
This song supposed to be Road March 💯💯💯💯💯🕺🕺💃💃💃
What an infectious beat, coupled with the rich archival visuals for a wonderful tribute to your Dad. Creativity at its best. RIP bunny
rizzod10 agreed!
The producer of this riddim is a genius and I give Kes 💯 for the lyrics it's a master piece..👊🏽💯🇧🇧
I think the producer borrowed from Sting/The Police, "Every Breath You Take"
Ok so now the song is sort of old enough to try and make sense of all the emotion this song brings. Idk if its im tripping but it makes me bring forth too many different thoughts and feelings and certain memories, times and places. For 1 I'm a Trini American. Born in the states to Trinidadadian parents. So I don't have the pleasure of growing up and reaching the grass every year for carnival. However, I remember as a kid going down for summers and going to the Savannah just liming with my Granny and great granny who now pass away, both with Alzheimer at the root of it. I have way to many memories of these women and how they help raise me and how close I was to them. Ironically the song brings back memories for me of people in my life who died with no sense or consciousness of their memory at the end of their lives. Life is a funny like that sometimes I guess. I really appreciate the way some music has this power to influence thoughts and emotions when it's positive.
Very reminiscent of David Rudder vibes. This song is a pure classic that will live on for generations. Love it. 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Can't get enough of this song and I'm not even Trini or a carnival baby ! I love it ! Definitely has a 'feel good' factor. Oh lawd ohh !!!!
As a woman born and raised in Trinidad, I can appreciate the clips of old time mas. I miss this. Love you kes. All the best for the season. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I'm from Trinidad but at this moment I'm in New Mexico, somehow I stumble on this song and tears come to my eyes cause I'm stock out here waiting for the borders to open so I can return home. I'm missing home so much especially my son.
I'm a so called African American and I love this song can't stop listening to it
And I will be crying while crossing that stage. Thanks for making me cry in the ppl fete already. If yall aint hear this 1. LIVE 2. On LOUD Speakers what you really telling yourself.......Savannah Grass is one of the soca hymns to go down in history. It has so much significance and 2019 soca is giving us soooo much hope for this artform. It isn't going NOWHERE. I love you Kes & KTB one family!!
I grew up with Carnival all around me and seeing these flashback images and videos stirred up so many happy childhood memories. From kiddies Carnival to adult mas, the music, the visuals, the people, the vibe. No one truly understands the power of the Savannah Grass and the stage unless you've been there. Thanks for spreading your creative wings and putting out this song Kes the Band!
I'm not sure what it is about this song, but it conjours such good feelings of yester year... ! Happiness, togetherness, love, freeness, everything warm and fuzzy ! I don't think I'm making much sense but it is such a feel good song.
The fusions of the music is amazing. I'm up in age but it makes me want to jump up and move...xxx
The soca elders are smiling at this song .Well sung kes the vibes of this song is what run tru real trinis veins.
Kes your dad left you with a bleesing this song is gold big big blessings ahead you have an angel vouching for you now in heaven! ❤🇹🇹🎶🕺🕴
This song should be on a 24 hour loop. Literally could listen to this whole day
I love this song so much ...thank you kes...st.kitts nevis we love you ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Love Soca Music even though I’m from the Philippines. :) 🇵🇭
