Famalay now #1 on iTunes Reggae Chart

Exactly one week after being released, Famalay by Skinny Fabulous, Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin became the number one song in the world from the Caribbean on the iTunes Reggae Top 100 chart. The song just bumped Bob Marley & the Wailers’ famous Three Little Birds into the number 2 spot.

Famalay, produced by Dada music & International Stephen is likely to become an anthem for Trinidad’s carnival season and ripple into the Caribbean’s carnival calendar.

What is being dubbed as the craziest collaboration in Soca merges talents in the Southern Caribbean: Soca genius Skinny Fabulous from St. Vincent & the Grenadines, the ultimate lyricist Bunji Garlin & Soca King Machel Montano from Trinidad & Tobago, DJ and producer International Stephen from Trinidad based in St. Lucia, and DaDa Music from Dominica.
