Verse
1
This year,
I
sending out greetings to everyone
Ah coming again, with a big ‘Pan song’
Take a taste you would not regret
This is something you won’t forget
Party music in the savannah
We go
shake up Panorama
Bounce and
drive will keep the music alive
You could make them mesmerized
Keep them energized
Make them
hypnotized
Then they tantalized
Bounce the bass, move your waist,
Music take over the place
Chorus
Thing to make you
want to move
(start to move)
Thing to make you want to groove
(start to groove)
Bounce and
drive in the savannah
Bounce and
drive for Panorama
Tenors
sounding rel busy
Bass line funky
and bouncy
Bounce and drive in
the savannah,
Bounce and drive
for Panorama
Come up with the
ultimate,
to show your music is
great
From the intro, to the end,
jam them give them problem
Ah lil
trick here and trick there,
ah lil
jam here and jam there
Ah lil run
here and run there
Start to
bounce, start to bounce, start to
bounce, start to bounce, start to
bounce
Verse
2
Town say, four
bands is competing to win three
straight
Single and small, medium
and large
If you single try to
mingle
If you small show them you
have gall
Medium could be
dominant
When you large you
should be in charge
Sweet and
bouncy,
your music should be jumpy
It must be dramatic
Disguise
those chromatic
Sweet chord
progression
With plenty
aggression
Tenors talking, bass
line walking,
everybody bouncing
Chorus
(Breakaway)
Everybody, bounce and drive,
bounce
and drive in the savannah
Bounce
and drive, bounce and drive for
panorama, bounce and drive
Bounce
and drive, bounce and drive,
bounce
and drive
Verse 3
Tell them finals
night
is how you really perform
You must come out and give it your
all
That is how you answer the
call
From Peter right down to
Paul
That’s the difference from
one and all
That is how you does
get first call
Remember how
Panorama used to be
When
steelband used to jam
The whole
savannah ‘ram’
The crowd pack the
barber-greene
Faster than Maurice
Green
Lively music, cyah refuse
it
That is how we do it
Chorus

Dexter John Stewart,
better known as “Blaxx” was born December 21st, 1962. Dexter started his musical journey at the tender age of thirteen, where his father Jerry Stewart who owned his own band called “Jerry and New School” molded him into what we see today. Dexter then joined a very popular band called “Fucceccion” where he became “Blaxx” after a ten-year span.
He then went on to join many other band's like “Atlantic,” “Byron Lee and the Dragonaires” and ”Blue Ventures.” In 1999 when the legend himself, Mr. Roy Cape approached
“Blaxx” and asked him to join his family of musicians (Roy Cape All Stars),
“Blaxx” honourably accepted and the rest is history. Since 1999 Blaxx and Roy Cape have kept “Roy Cape All Stars” in the forefront of the Soca Music industry. To say the least,
“Blaxx” is one of the most
versatile artists in the soca industry today.
