Triniconnection and Friends
Trinidad Connection and Friends was the first band to play strictly soca music on the roads of Rotterdam for the Rotterdam Zomercarnaval.
Trinidad Connection & Friends was founded in 1996 by Deems Warner and a couple of his good friends.
Like a true Trinidadian Deems went back to Trinidad every year to year to experience the Greatest Show on Earth: Trinidad Carnival!
Celebrating carnival was a very important aspect of his life and he wanted to share that with the folks in Holland. They started off with “soca parties” which were kept about 3-4 times a year. These soca parties were like nothing they had ever experienced in Holland, they were different, the atmosphere was great and people had fun. They were a huge success.
Deems Warner heard about a "zomercarnaval" that was held every last Saturday in July in Rotterdam. After seeing what it was all about he decided that Triniconnecion should be a part of it. How could you have a carnival without soca music?
