I once lived in this neighborhood. Our house was on 123rd St. between Liberty and 107th. My family left in 1960, shortly after I had graduated from OLPH. I came across this site though another link. The pictures are amazing.
I recognize nothing!

Denise, thanks for the tips on the clubs in Queens. Once my finals are over, I definitely need to check them out.

There are even more places where you can "get on bad" , but it depends on whether you want to dance to Soca, Dancehall, Chutney, or Reggae.

As for the above, I would love any and all suggestions for each. If you don't feel like posting, maybe email me offline? I've been asking around for good soca/dancehall/chutney/reggae spots, or any spots for that matter, for ages. I should've known that the SM crew would come to my rescue!

Another fun track to check out is by Kanchan & Babla: Leggo Me Nah Raja, and Rikki Jai's Wine Beti

That's a great video, Denise!

Yes, Mortor is a great video. There are other Chutney videos by Adesh Samaroo, D'Hitman and Terry Gajraj, but I think Mortor captures Chutney the best.

Yo, "Mor Tor (the Montano mix) is on my play list too, along with "Dutty Wine" and the Soca classic "Take that and cool it"!

"Au Chale" by Destra and Dil-E-Nadan definitely makes my list along with "Madness" by Machel Montano and "Three Miles" by KMC.

"Mor Tor" and "Mr. Shankar" were my jams - kind of still are. I was literally rocking Mor Tor in my car yest (the remix featuring Machel Montano).

Fuerza Dulce, In Queens there are two Chutney/Soca clubs that I stated above; Club Tobago and De River. Every year there is a Chutney fest at Six Flags in New Jersey and a free annual outdoors Duck Curry competition/Chutney show in Queens. There are even more places where you can “get on bad” , but it depends on whether you want to dance to Soca, Dancehall, Chutney, or Reggae. One of my favorites is Soca Bhangra by Shammi featuring Bunji Garlin. It’s a remake of Bolo Ta Ra Ra by Dahler Mendhi
