Verse
2
Keshorn! Better
known as ‘The Beast’
Full of humility
No bragging, not
in the least
Keshorn! Champion from the East
The Toco beach, was your stadium
track
Upward you reach, no turning back
Pelting coconut, was your only
foundation
With one conviction
To be a champion
As we witnessed in the sky so blue
The javelin that flew
My Keshorn, this one is for you.
Chorus
Verse 3
Keshorn! Example
for the youth
If you have the discipline,
You will
win and that’s the truth
Keshorn! Respectful, not uncouth
A shining start, a true exemplar
Really you are, a superstar
Youths of this country,
Let this now
be your motto
To earn your own Lotto
And to win for Trinbago
A medal that’s gold and is new
And to join that special crew
So I’ll sing, this one is for you.

Edwin Pouchet:
- Edwin
grew up in pan, hearing
pan morning, noon and
night. His bigger
brother Junior Pouchet
was synonymous with
the band Silver Stars.
When Junior migrated
to Orlando to work with
Disney World, Edwin
took up the mantle and
brought the band back
in the limelight after
a 10-year break.
Edwin proved to be a
creative and exciting
arranger reviving some
of the band’s trademark
selections as well as
introducing new ones.
The band made its name
in the medium category
of the steelband competitions
winning with
Pure Party in
2004. He also won the
first “Pan in the 21st
Century” competition
with
Love Theme as
well as with the popular
Phantom of the Opera.
However when he took
the leap into the Large
Band Category of Panorama
in 2008, he earned the
respect of his fans
and peers with a respectable
place in the finals
with
Thunder Coming,
his own composition.
This led to his first
victory at that level
the following year with
First in the Line.
In 2010 year he created
history by repeating
with his own composition
Battle Zone
as this tune was also
the winning Panorama
selection in Montreal,
Toronto,
New York and Washington.
Lyrics for his compositions
have been written by
Alvin Daniell; in 2011
they teamed up again
to produce
Wake Up sung
by Denyse Plummer and
It’s Showtime!
sung by Anslem Douglas.
For 2013 he continues his
standing musical collaboration
with Alvin Daniell
resulting in
Keshorn – The
Javelin Champion, the track featured
here and
Shock Attack.
