Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. July 16th, 2018 - Chutney music’s explosion across the Caribbean and wider region is being closely monitored by one of the Caribbean’s biggest promotional groups, Randy Glasgow Productions (RGP). The group’s CEO, Randy Glasgow says his team is prepared to work arduously behind the scenes to deliver to Chutney musicians and entertainers, the required platforms to better showcase their music. So committed is RGP to this goal that on July 21st in Trinidad, the outfit will deliver the first ever Chutney Brass Summer Edition.
“Any music created in Trinidad and Tobago must not be seasonal. In our company's continued drive and efforts to get Chutney music in Bollywood films and played across the world, we in T&T must enjoy and celebrate this genre of music, year round. It is ours. It is worth international recognition. There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” said Glasgow.

For people around the world to love it and give it the respect it deserves, we must show it respect, ourselves,” he said, explaining that after consideration on this, and discussion, it was agreed that the inaugural Chutney summer event should take place at the official heartland of the genre, that being Debe, South Trinidad.
