The song, which was written and produced by Marlon Chen, owner of Coda Studio in Orlando, Florida, and co-written by the featured artistes, will fuse two of the Caribbean’s most popular genres of music. And according to an e-mail from Sabrina Panday, Promotion & Corporate Services Officer (Guyana), the lyrics are infectious and vibrant.
She wrote, “Appropriately titled after the event slogan, this fusion of two of the Caribbean’s musical genres has been produced with young cricket fans in mind and showcases the persuasive harmonization of soca and dancehall. However, it promises to be a satisfying mix that appeals to cricket fans of all ages.”
‘Bring It’ according to the e-mail begins with one of Mr. Vegas’ signature pitches on a quick tempo reggae/soca beat where he refers to the Twenty 20 dance. He is then joined by intros from Lyons, who urges the crowd to get in on the action, with commands of “Hands up, hands up, everybody bringing it.”
The ICC spectacle is expected to have the ingredients of the unique Caribbean experience, something that was not very evident at the last World Cup in 2007. In that light, the ICC World Twenty20 event was designed to catch younger cricket fans, especially throughout the Caribbean.
Regional Marketing Manager, Michelle Gibson pointed out, “This song makes you want to move, to dance. The lyrics, the melody – they are reflective of the essence of our lifestyle and cricketing passion in the West Indies.
“Partying and playing cricket go hand in hand. Music has always been an essential part of cricket matches in the Caribbean, whether its deejays or tuk bands or the unmistakable sound of the conch shell.”
The song: Are you ready, Bring It Posse we ready
20 Posse we ready
