Tobago


Tobago Own

We all know what it means to be Trini to the bone ... but let’s be honest, Bago is truly our own vibe.

Why? Because after spending 3–4 Christmas holidays in Tobago, I could tell you straight… the joy hits different.
I haven’t made it to Tobago Carnival yet (don’t judge me), but from what I’m observing?

My word ... it’s going to be a full-on blast.
Energy, culture, pace, people… Tobago setting the tone.

My real Tobago story started back in 2002, almost 20 years ago.
I was there with a production crew shooting a Kindred music video, directed by Jason Riley.

We stayed at a guest house by Buccoo Reef, filmed at Nylon Pool, and lived through nightlife that felt straight out of cinema.

Imagine this:
tourists everywhere, food steaming on the roadside, the hum of laughter, drinks clinking, local music pouring out of every corner ... that was my first time seeing tourism in real motion.

A few years later, I ended up back in Tobago ... this time for a football fete match.
The match was good, but when the electricity went, the night turned into a bar-counter liming fest with the Tobago team sharing drinks in the dark.
Only in Tobago.

Recently, I stumbled on a few videos that reignited that whole creative pulse… and I had to share them.
