Mr Vegas, Fay Ann Lyons ‘bringing the vibes’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mr.The 20\/20 World Cup cricket event bowls off at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence on April 30 with the opening ceremony and the first two of six matches to be played on the Guyana leg of the International event which attracts the World’s best One-Day teams.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka play New Zealand in the opening game before West Indies and Ireland clash later that afternoon in the first ever International cricket match to be played under lights in Guyana.<\/p>\n

Two more matches will be played at Providence on May 3 and May 4. The Men’s and Women’s semis are fixed for St Lucia while both finals will be played at the Kensington Oval.<\/p>\n

“Are you ready, Bring It Posse we ready 20 Posse we ready
\nLet’s show the world how we party
\nLet’s go…
\nBring the vibes, Bust the vibes, Feel the vibes,
\n20 vibes,
\nLove the vibe, Want the vibe, be the vibe, 20 vibe”<\/p>\n

Singing these infectious and vibrant lyrics, dancehall maestro, Mr. Vegas, and Soca Queen, Fay Ann Lyons, have combined to unleash the ICC World Twenty20 2010 Tournament Song “Bring It” and word is that they will be in Guyana\u00a0 in a matter of two weeks for\u00a0 some promotional\u00a0 activities. This we understand will include making appearances at the Edge Night club.<\/p>\n

Back to the song:<\/strong> Appropriately titled after the event slogan, the fusion of two of the Caribbean’s musical genres has been produced with young cricket fans in mind and showcases the persuasive harmonization of Soca and dancehall. However, it promises to be a satisfying mix that appeals to cricket fans of all ages.<\/p>\n

“ICC World Twenty20 represents a more stimulating, fun and fast-paced version of cricket and the song fits in with that spirit and energy. It’s designed to catch younger cricket fans, especially throughout the Caribbean – which is one of our primary objectives,” said ICC WT20 WI 2010 Regional Marketing Manager, Ms. Michelle Gibson.<\/p>\n

“This song makes you want to move, to dance. The lyrics, the melody – they are reflective of the essence of our lifestyle and cricketing passion in the West Indies. Partying and playing cricket go hand in hand. Music has always been an essential part of cricket matches in the Caribbean, whether deejays or tuk bands or the unmistakable sound of the conch shell.”<\/p>\n

“Bring It” begins with one of Mr. Vegas’ signature pitches on a quick tempo ragga-soca beat where he refers to the Twenty 20 dance. He is then joined by intros from Lyons, urging the crowd to get in on the action: “Hands up, hands up, everybody bringing it.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Vegas then pours a radical dancehall rap about cricket on the beat, before the song steadily rises to a crescendo with the catchy chorus sung by Lyons.<\/p>\n

Listeners continue to be swept into a celebratory frenzy and, by the end of the song, are likely to be singing along with the artistes…<\/p>\n

Lyrics for Bring It:<\/p>\n

Are you ready, Bring It Posse we ready, 20 Posse we ready
\nLet’s show the world how we party….yeah
\nLet’s go…
\nBring the vibes, Bust the vibes, Feel the vibes,
\n20 vibes,
\nLove the vibe, Want the vibe, be the vibe,
\n20 vibes
\nWell every man, every woman, every West Indian
\nPut your hands in the air,
\nParty in the Stand
\nJump up, Jump up, jump up super fans
\n2, 4, 6 RUNS!
\nBarbados bringing it!
\nGuyana bringing it!
\nSt. Kitts bringing it!
\nSaint Lucia bringing it!
\nHand in the air,
\nEverybody start swinging’ it,
\nStart…swinging’, swing, swinging’ it…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
