Tropicalfete’s Authors Connecting -Patricia Meschino interview with Elizabeth ‘Lady’ Montano

Author Elizabeth ‘Lady’ Montano – first-time author, Elizabeth ‘Lady’ Montano, has penned a biography about her son, soca superstar Machel Montano, the aptly titled King of Soca. Set for release in mid-June as the debut publication from Lady’s EESM Publishers imprint, King of Soca is a comprehensive record of Machel’s extraordinary 40-year career which, according to the former ‘momager’, is not well known, particularly among the youth of his native Trinidad and Tobago.

An educator by training, Lady based King of Soca on her 2018 Master of Philosophy dissertation titled “The Making of Monk Monte: Creativity and Commodification in Trinidad and Tobago Popular Culture.” Lady initially planned to build on her dissertation and work towards a Ph.D. but decided against the academic route because she wanted her writing to be accessible to anyone interested in knowing more about the soca titan. “I am very conscious of Machel’s continuous transformation and the extent to which he has opened my mind about inclusion,” she explained. “While it is said that you must work with a set target audience or a specific niche or population in mind for your product, I am satisfied that this work will deliver an authentic, revelatory, impactful account of my son’s life in music to anyone open to receiving it.”

Interviewer Patricia Meschino – Ms. Patricia Meschino, a journalist TropicalFete’s Award of Excellence will be given to Ms. Patricia Meschino, a journalist who specializes in writing about Caribbean music and culture. Patricia is the Caribbean correspondent for Billboard Magazine.

Her additional work credits include being the music editor of Air Jamaica’s In-flight magazine, SkyWritings, and the culture editor of Jamrock Magazine. Additionally, she contributes to Bobmarley.com, Riddim magazine, The Associated Press, The Village Voice, Vibe Magazine, The Source, The Miami New Times, Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine, Sandals Lifestyle Magazine, Red Bulletin (Holland) and Songlines (UK).

She contributed the music section to a National Geographic book, entitled “Great Caribbean Family Vacations,” and was a featured commentator in the 2009 BET special “The Top 20 Greatest Moments in Reggae.”

17 Best Things To Do in ARUBA (4K) [Video]

17 Awesome Things to do in Aruba. Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands physically located in the mid-south of the Caribbean Sea, about 29 kilometres (18 mi) north of the Venezuelan peninsula of Paraguaná and 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Curaçao. It measures 32 kilometres (20 mi) long from its northwestern to its southeastern end and 10 kilometres (6 mi) across at its widest point. Together with Bonaire and Curaçao, Aruba forms a group referred to as the ABC islands. Collectively, these and the other three Dutch substantial islands in the Caribbean are often called the Dutch Caribbean, of which Aruba has about one-third of the population. In 1986, it became a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and acquired the formal name the Country of Aruba.Aruba is one of the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten; the citizens of these countries are all Dutch nationals. Aruba has no administrative subdivisions, but, for census purposes, is divided into eight regions. Its capital is Oranjestad.Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. The climate has helped tourism, because visitors to the island can expect clear, sunny skies all year. Its area is 179 km2 (69.1 sq mi) and it is quite densely populated, with 101,484 inhabitants as at the 2010 Census. A January 2019 estimate of the population placed it at 116,600.#aruba #thingstodoinaruba #arubathingstodo @D&B TRAVELS
