Where D Dragon Gone

Over almost a decade Trinidad and Tobago has been working on the Dragon Gas Project, a project that became possible after various factors affected Venezuela's ability to extract the gas themselves. Trinidad and Tobago has faced ups and downs in their attempts to offer extraction services in collaboration with Shell, recently particularly due to US policy. There has been mixed views by the population of Trinidad and Tobago on this issue, and compounding it is the selection of the former energy minister Stuart Young, as the country's former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, both who were primarily responsible for negotiating the latest agreements with Venezuela and the Biden administration for the OFAC license, along with the 30 year license from Venezuela to commercialize the gas. With the OFAC license recently nullified by the new Trump administration due to its current policy towards Venezuela, the topic has become increasingly controversial in T&T. Trinidad and Tobago is known historically for its rich cultural history of picong, where musicians, particularly in the calypso or extempto genre, will challenge each other in a teasing, sometimes comical and sometimes aggressive manner, attempting to outdo each other. Political or social commentary are traditionally included in picong, and the music artform of calypso historically is used to voice concerns on social and political issues. As Trinidad and Tobago is currently on the cusp of choosing a new government, TTPicong Entertainment saw an opportunity to add to its contribution to such a significant national discussion on the topic of the Dragon Gas Deal, in light of a significant portion of the populations' view that the most recent government under Dr. Keith Rowley was seemingly over-confidence on the deal, was perceived to ignore voices of reason that a more robust, responsible approach to national energy must be pursued, in light of Venezuela's increasingly controversial reputation with the US, which influenced the energy sector significantly across the region. Where D Dragon Gone is a musical attempt to capture the essence of the topic, including picong, in a comical yet serious question to those who boasted about its significance and their success in negotiating the deal.
