SWEDISH audio streaming and media services provider Spotify says Trinibad is the most played local genre in Trinidad and Tobago.
Trinibad is TT’s own style of dancehall.
This is based on some early listening trends the company observed over its first 90 days of being live in TT, its communications manager, new markets, Julia Levander said in an e-mail to Newsday.
Levander reached out to Newsday with the information on July 13.
She added that late artiste Kyle “Rebel Sixx” George is also the most played local artiste and his track, No Trust, No Love, is also the most played local track.
Rebel Sixx was killed on July 5 last year at his Viceroy Crescent, Bon Air Gardens home.
