Stripped bare, unburdened by assumptions, and laid before the world to see, Monk Monté unveils a release and accompanying video, that shares the spiritual journey he has taken from his first breath of life to this very moment in time. The story follows the evolution from a young boy starting in the Pyramids of Mother Africa, making his way full circle back to the Trinity Hills of his current home in Trinidad & Tobago, paying respect to all the magical steps along the way.
The evolution of self is personified through the characters in the video, two of which are played by Machel's very own son and father.
The moving number, “On My Way”, is a soulful tale and tribute to the land and musical culture, Machel was predestined to arise from and grow within.
Powerful lyrics intertwined with riveting drums and emotional visuals, paint a poignant picture of heritage alongside an innate connection to the birthplace of Soca.
Springing from this music, produced by Starblu and co-written by Tishon Singh & Machel Montano, is that intangible warmth, and effervescent joy these islands are well known for.
This is a track which will touch hearts and lead souls to sing in euphoric frenzy, as they celebrate the blessing of just being alive right here and right now.
The video and song was launched on CNC3, one of Trinidad & Tobago's premier national broadcasters.

From an Egyptian to all my brothers and sisters in Trinidad & Tobago and the whole West Indies, Much Love, Respect & Blessings!! You are a beautiful people! I pray I can come back to visit you all soon with more Egyptians so they can experience all you have to offer from the unforgettable islands, smiles, doubles, crab&dumplings, pelau, liming, wining, fetes and LOVE! :) I pray you visit us soon too! From the Great Pyramids to the Great Trinity Hills...Stay Blessed! :) Your Egyptian Brothers & Sisters Special shout out to Grenada, my home for almost 3 years....I left part of my heart & soul there....I will be back!

The work this man put into soca music, not even words can describe it, no other soca artists can compare to Machel, God bless you humbre!

@m.i.animals7132 9 лет назад

He carries SOCA everywhere....don't hate on the man, he's a legend. where would soca and Carnival be without him.

@thechillspot7553 6 лет назад

The depth of this song. It will forever be my favorite Machel.

@nikekoe 9 лет назад

This is proof that Machel could make a good song without saying HUY!

@garcia316 9 лет назад

From what I gather this is not exactly meant for Carnival, nor as a means to bring attention to Trinidad and it's culture essentially. Rather it seems as a symbolism of his journey. We all essentially are children of Africa, this is his acknowledgment of his roots, of our roots, of Carnival's roots. However the music, Soca, he "followed", as if saying he was meant to be born in Trinidad & Tobago... and he "was born in the perfect place" because of his love for our culture and for Soca. The news audio of violence around the world in the beginning of the video also in a way symbolizes the strife the rest of the world faces, while here in Trinidad (while no doubt we have a lot of issues) we have Soca and that "feeling" that Soca brings. There's nothing like it. I've always wondered when Soca would evolve beyond jump and wine, this is the step Machel has taken in that direction. This is, in essence, not a Carnival Soca song... this goes further than that, this is music.

@melissaorr249 9 лет назад

You got it ...you really understood the meaning of this song...great interpretation.

@fabien677 9 лет назад

ExacToy the point we just see on the surface but it's bigger than face value good comments

@HashimThaDream 9 лет назад

Hit the nail on the head my friend! Excellent analogy

@crazar23 9 лет назад

Hit the nail so hard on the head, yuh buss the board! It's all about symbolism, the beach (Toco I believe it is) and his father represent home, not carnival, because that's what Trinidad is....home!

@darrinwright3845 9 лет назад

dido garcia 316. Also Machael vision for soca music is for it to be seen International. some people may not be able to grasp that. its still soca addressing an symbolical issue. brilliant!!

Machel Montano is blessed by God. This one of very few artists who tops each and every song he ever does. Don't understand why he does not have as great a following in the United States as he does everywhere else? Mr. Montano. . .when you are going to do a Broadway play about Soca music? Please God. Continue to bless this prophet and family. Keep him and his family on earth for another 1,000 years so they can keep bringing joy to millions who sorely need a break from sadness and tears.

@njidechu 9 лет назад

xDESTROYER BrockaholicHDx Gee, X, that's a loaded statement. I'd like to ask you a few questions: 1) Do you have a video of Mr. Montano selling his soul to the devil? When he sold it, were you there to see it? 2) If you have no evidence of Mr. Montano selling his soul, where did you obtain your information? 3) Do you have any evidence of your statement at all? 4) Have to given this information to Mr. Montano directly? 5) Given the religious nature of your discussion of the Devil, what is your religion? 6) What is the name of the God you serve? 7) Does the god you serve allow person to make untrue statement about others? 8) If you believe in the concept of a righteous god, what is your god's purpose of allowing Mr. Montano to die with a gunshot to his head? 9) If you are Christian, do you think that Jesus Christ decided that Mr. Montano is not worth forgiving? I give you the opportunity to examine your own (mis)perceptions of Mr. Montano. Obviously, you do not like him, because he is a "satanist", but given the ungodly nature of your comments about Mr. Montano, I wonder which god you serve. Just some thoughts from a Christian-turned-Muslim-turned-Christian.

@njidechu 9 лет назад

If you are a troll, whatever. I will just block you.

@njidechu 8 лет назад

xDESTROYER BrockaholicHDx Speaking??? I thought you was farting and taking a dump! Mr. Montano is the man I always wanted. Leggo meh man!

@Karl197 7 лет назад

I'm glad he doesn't have a following in America. it's a shit hole, they ruin all that is good.

@njidechu 7 лет назад

I am American. I'm angry about the statement that America is a shit hole. I'm sad too because America IS a shit hole. I have a lawsuit against the United States as proof of the statement that America is a shit hole. Lawsuit against the United States: www.thecrimesofsenatoruzamere.net/verified_complaint_to_intl_criminal_court_and_united_nations.html If Mr. Montano allows America to take hold of his culture, it will be Americanized to the point that followers of the true art form will stop listening. The Jewish entertainment monopoly will then take complete control of Soca. Any Calypsonian will then have to submit to allow America's entertainment monopoly to water down real Soca. I agree with you.
