It’s Carnival Time…
Okay so me and my sister Sane were chopping it up about the craziness that is Yo Gabba Gabba and DJ Lance and I told her about my love for this song called “Papa Moco Jumbie” that is a sort of segue way after the show. For some reason Boogie and I love this song! it’s a really catchy song and once it gets in your head it’s hard to get out. Here’s a clip of it. Sorry this is the best one I could find. for some reason Noggin/Nickelodeon hasn’t released this officially.
In case you were wondering, the little boy singing is actually Khamani Griffin aka little Bobby from ‘All Of Us’. You know the show with Lisa Raye, Duane Martin, Tony Rock (Chris Rock’s little Brother) and Elise Neal. The Moco Jumbie show is scheduled for fall release and will be about a little boy and his father bonding during carnival time. All my Caribbean & West Indian folks know how important and big Carnival (pronounced Car- knee- vol) is to the culture. It’s written by Radha Blank (<–scroll down on that page). She has written for other Nick shows such as Little Bill and The Backyardigans (Two of Boogies favorites)
I don’t care what Sane says, I think the song is cute and I can’t wait for the show to air!
