Kaiso, Kaiso. Yes, Kaiso, and today we go "Back to the Future" to bring you this post. It was in 1987, Franz “Delamo” Lambkin shook the Calypso Monarch Finals with “Ah Cyar Wine”—a bold, witty anthem about setting a positive example and refusing to whine just to please the crowd.
Fast‑forward to 2025, and Jadee (yes, the Foodie Nation favorite) has teamed up with MX Prime to breathe new life into this gem with a modern twist: “Ah Doh Wine.”
The message remains intact, but the delivery embraces a new kind of madness. With the country under pressure—electricity woes, social stress, and Carnival chaos—Jadee asks, “Why do you want me to whine just because it’s whining season?” He’s not here to make a scene… he’s here to make sense.
In one biting line, Jadee sings, “They tell me to dance provocatively despite the high levels of crime in the area.” It’s a clever reminder that even in bacchanal, soca can carry conscience. And with tongue‑in‑cheek humor, he warns: don’t push him to misbehave—he might whine on somebody’s woman, and that could end in trouble.
This readaptation is not just a musical update but also a cultural transmission. The production, handled by MX Prime and mastered by Johann Seaton, is pure bacchanal energy, yet it honors Delamo’s legacy by proving that soca can be sharp, conscious, and groove‑heavy all at once.
So tell us: Did Jadee do justice to Delamo’s classic?
