Early chutney song was religious in nature and sung by Indo-Trinidadian female family members, who, as customary in Trinidadian society, sang before a typical wedding celebration to prepare the bride-to-be for her role as a wife. This can be thought of as a kind of bachelorette party, celebrated only by the female members of the families. The music and the dancing (and some of the suggestive lyrics sung at the events) leaked out into the wider community and society, and became enmeshed into Trinidad society as a whole.

The year 1970 was perhaps the biggest turning point in East Indian music and West indian music. In this year a young man from Barrackpore, Trinidad, by the name of Sundar Popo leapt to fame with the song "Nana & Nani." The song, almost comical in nature, described the affairs of a grandfather and grandmother, perhaps his own. Sung in Hindi and Trinidadian creole, and backed up with the music of the dholak and dhantal as well as that of the more Western electric guitar, bass guitar, synth drum machine and electronic keyboard, the song instantly became a number one hit in Guyana and Trinidad (Popo, 1972). Sundar soon became known as the King of Chutney, the name given to this new popular form of music.

Some four decades later, forty years since the birth of Chutney Music to the fore (remember it was there before) it has now taken on a gigantic leap in cultural activities in the Caribbean viz Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Surinaam, and if not now all over the world.
In Trinidad and Tobago it is so high up on the cultural activities that every year there is a competition of the Chutney Soca Road March King competition and millions of dollars in prizes.

The last 42 years, more so in the past two decades, the local Indian music industry, fueled by increased media exposure, has witnessed an explosion of talent in the areas of chutney, chutney-soca and the remaking of Bollywood film music.
Like any good product, local Indian music continues to evolve to meet market demands and has produced icons in the field such as Sundar Popo, Rikki Jai, Drupatee Ramgoonai, Sonny Mann, Adesh Samaroo, Rakesh Yankaran, Anand Yankaran, Rasika Dindial, Boodram Holass, Heeralal Rampartap and Rooplal Gildharie.

WE WILL LOOK AT SOME OF THE CHUTNEY SINGERS HITTING THE SCENES TODAY:
OUR FIRST ARTISTE:
RIKKI JAI:
Rikki Jai was born Samraj Jaimungal, the fifth child in an East Indian family of six in Friendship Village, San Fernando. Raised in the Hindu faith by a mother who spoke Hindi, Jai discovered a love of music and began performing with local Indian bands Triveni and Naya Andaz. His calypso career began in 1989 on the Spektakula Forum stage with a song by Gregory Ballantyne titled "Sumintra". The song about a East Indian woman who told her boyfriend about her preference of Soca over the Indian artist Lata Mangeshkar became an instant hit.
Many other hits would follow including, show me your motion (1990) and wine on a bumsee (1993). After 1993 Jai began performing and recording primarily in the Chutney Soca arena and hits such as Doolahin, Rosie Bilna and Jarah Lagehla propelled him into the International arena. Jai captured the Chutney Soca Monarch title in 1998/1999 and the National Chutney Monarch title in 1999/2000. In 2001 he tied for 1st place (with Bunji Garlin) for the Young King Title and in 2002 for the fourth time in five years, Rikki Jai was chosen Chutney Soca Monarch.
He is currently represented by Question Mark Entertainment -- a management camp that includes other respected artists such as Maximus Dan, Kes and Nadia Batson, and is in high demand for his energetic and charismatic performances all over the U.S. the U.K and beyond. Jai prefers to stay home when he is not performing. He told the Sunday Express in July 2000, When I leave the stage I tend to do family-oriented things. I don't like clubs and I don't like to party, I love movies and river limes. My big thing is renting a movie and just kicking back and staying close to those I have known all my life."
Most recently Rikki Jai just completed a tour of five cities in Germany (performing as part of a contingent to promote Trinidad and Tobago culture and to support the Soca Warriors effort).

Rakesh wins Chutney Monarch crown
BY HERMAN ROOP DASS Monday, December 1 2008
RAKESH YANKARAN has proven that he comes from a line of champion Indian artistes by winning the 2008 National Chutney Monarch crown.
Yankaran, son of veteran singer Isaac Yankaran, won the $100,000 prize on Saturday night at Rienzi Complex, Couva, where, unfortunately, only a small crowd witnessed his sterling performance.
His two catchy songs were Dulahin Chale and Sasural Kown Rangie Mangawana.
Budram Holass placed second to win the $50,000 prize for his renditions of Gukula Chale and Tal Gowip Janawa. Popular crossover star, Adesh Samaroo, copped the third prize of $30,000 with his two songs, Doolia and Hamaderey.
The $20,000 fourth prize went to Mohip Poonwassie, while former monarch Heeralal Rampartap, placed fifth and will receive $15,000.
Contestants who placed sixth to ninth will each receive $10,000.
Dr Vijay Ramlal, president of the National Chutney Foundation, apologised for the late start of the show but promised the audience âthat you are going to have a very enjoyable time during the programme.â
Guest artistes included Kala Sangam Dance Company, Neshan Prabhoo, Madhadev Dance Company, Dil-E-Nadan Orchestra, Wally Sound Company and the TT Sweet Tassa Academy.

CHUTNEY MUSIC:
Chutney music came with the arrival of East Indian indentured laborers to the Caribbean. They were brought by the British as a replacement for the enslaved laborers on the sugar plantations, who were freed after emancipation.
Many of these East Indians settled in the then British colonies of British Guiana, now Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica. The Dutch also brought large numbers to Dutch Guiana, now Suriname.
Ramdeo Chaitoe, Sundar Popo,Nisha Benjamin...these were the names that were synonomous with Chutney in the 50's the 60' and the 70's.......the pioneers of Chutney. But in order to truly reflect on the
birth of Chutney we must remember programs like "Geet Nirala."
