Trinidad & Tobago: World Cup song & other ironies

Stacy-Marie Ishmael riffs on the fact that the Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation has outsourced the country's “official” World Cup song to “two guys from Leeds”, and other Trinbagonian ironies.

  • […] Two guys from Leeds/UK lay claim to have the only “official” tune for the Soca Warriors produced. This must be an insult to all the Trinbagonian musicians, who recorded over 20 songs to support their team. True fans stick to Maximus Dans “Fighter”, which is a true hynm.

    I was in Tobago earlier this year and there was a great tune doing the rounds with a chorus line including the word “Deutchland” but I can’t remember the title. Any suggestions?

  • Hi John, I think the song to which you refer is “Deutschland” by Ronnie McIntosh. You can check out this link
    Hope that helped.

    You can find all the songs you need to properly support the Soca Warriors in Germany at the download section of http://www.thewarriornation.com. This of course does not include the “official” (British) song, but all the real soca songs, including “Deutschland”, “Warrior Anthem” and the best of all “Fighter”.
