Imagining the band on the road
In a January 23, 2013 interview, Alfred said supporters’ requests prompted the group to imagine playing on the streets for Carnival. That vision generated musical and lyrical ideas.
He explained that Clint Henderson and Wayne “Benji” Benjamin were invited for their experience of Bouyon and street Carnival. The report identifies Henderson with WCK and Benjamin with Triple Kay International; those associations explain the guest choices.
