3Veni has been the resident band for Trini Revellers for many years now having taken the title of Best Cross Over Band on three occasions. The bands newest front line singer Santeney Rampersad proved he has what it takes to be just that — frontline — as he belted out some of the hottest soca and chutney soca for crowds overseas. He has also mastered several of the popular remixed tunes that have been produced in India. Frontline female vocalist Sarika Mahabir continues to be an eye catcher as she has been in demand in many countries of the world for interpretation of Bollywood tunes. She has been collaborating with Papa Steve (Houston Villaroel) for several performances overseas. According to Persad, the band still has a busy year before the Carnival Season rolls in, with Miami Carnival still to come and Thanksgiving in North America. However, he admits that he is anxious to perform before home crowds. There is no place like home and I really look forward to performing for the local fans, Persad said. The band started playing cross over music in 1996. They delved into calypso, reggae, hip-hop and soca. They acquired their first job that year in 1997 with Carnival Mas Band Rabs Immortal. Their efforts were recognised that year when they were awarded second best Sounding Band in downtown Carnival, Por-of-Spain. In 2002, for the first time in history, an East Indian Band JMC 3Veni took this prestigious title. The band has played music for renowned singers at concerts such as Rikki Jai, Super Blue, David Rudder, Denise Plummer, the Mighty Sparrow, the late Sundar Popo, late Kitchener including international singers Kumar Sanu, Kanchan (deceased) and Babla. Every year, the band hosts live Fathers Day and Mothers Day Concerts in New York and Toronto. The bands popularity has grown tremendously over the years as d band of choice for many popular Carnival Mas Bands such as Show Case, Raoul Garib, Max Awon DMidas and Associates etc. It was in 1993 that Persad took over leadership of the band. Having realised their vision in the local arena as one of the top performing musical bands, Persad sought rapidly to build the recognition and popularity of the band in the regional and international market. In 1998, the band won a Lifetime Achievement Award for the Best Album in Toronto. It continues to produce the best CD combination of cross over music. Twenty-five years later, JMC 3Veni has indeed established itself as one of the premier bands specialising in East Indian Music and cross over music locally, regionally and internationally. JMC 3Veni has proven to be a trendsetter in the music industry, constantly reinventing itself, setting the standard, expanding and widening its vision by taking local music and performing globally.
