It's snooker time!
Grenada is the southernmost of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean Sea. It is also known as Spice Isle for its production of nutmeg and mace.
Musically it is best known for reggae, calypso and soca music.
I actually have something from Grenada in the Music folder. Step forward Mighty Sparrow. Here is Sparrow Dead from his 1993 Volume 2 of the Caribbean Classics picked up in Troon in 2023.
David Emmanuel is a reggae and jazz musician who performs as part of a trio. Here he is with Givin' It Up For Love a 12 inch single from 1983.
From now on in it gets a bit more tricky and random.
Lil Natty and Thunda are a famous dynamic soca music duo from St. David, Grenada, also known as the Wussways Empire. Formed by blood relatives Dingaan "Lil Natty" Henry and Nyelon "Thunda" Williams, they are major players in Caribbean music. Their offering is Outsider (Jab Town Riddim).
Next we have Reo St Paul a Soca artist more commonly known as Snakey. Here is Raging Seas from Grenada Soca 2026.
We conclude with Tallpree . Wilt "Tallpree" Cambridge is a Grenadian soca artist. He initially began performing as a reggae dancehall artist in the late 1980s and made the switch to becoming a soca artist the late 90s.
I think Forking may well be a euphemism for a similar word.
We are back to Africa next time round.
