Another year is coming to a close and we would like to thank everyone for your loyal support. As we celebrate the season with one of Trinidad & Tobago’s beloved Christmas classics—“Ribbons,” written by Gregory “GB” Ballantyne and beautifully sung by Marilyn Williams.
Released in 1991, this original Trinbagonian Christmas song signals the true start of the season, wrapping the islands in nostalgia, warmth, and that unmistakable Christmas feeling. Today, we deliver this classic as a special thank you to our fans. As a bonus, we also have an acoustic version sung by Nailah Blackman.
Wishing you joy, music, and togetherness this Christmas. From our family to yours—Merry Christmas!
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists. You can find all of our posts online on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud. We recommend that you explore your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
