‘THUNDA Whine’ is the name of the latest song written and released by local singing sensation Jumo ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo to set the mood for the rest of the songs to come for the 2024 Soca season.

Officially released last Wednesday, the song was produced by Timon Fraser of Fraser Recordz and is basically about a female who has a seductive and tempting whine.

“This is because Carnival and Soca music is all about the waistline and good vibes,” Jumo told Buzz this week.

“Every year, I do either power or groove songs. Even though this is a groove song, I wanted to have a storyline and give the song longevity, meaning that it can be played at any time and not just for Mash or Carnival,” he added.

The release is a fusion of artistes who live both in and out of Guyana and it is a collaboration of voices showing unity amongst artistes, according to Jumo.

He is expecting a positive response from the public as, according to him, it is that type of “feel good Soca.”

“And it’s early, so this is just to set the mood for the rest of the songs to come, as in Trinidad, they started releasing music since September. We need to start doing the same in order to build our Mash vibes and create a momentum for Mash 2024,” he said.

Jumo’s future plans include reopening his 592 Club which was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have renovated the entire building, giving it a new look and it will be available also for renting for wedding receptions, parties and other events,” Jumo shared.

Following the pandemic, Jumo had said he was happy to be on the road again for Mash, Independence, and Cricket Carnival.
Even as he pays attention to his business, and his nightclub, Jumo said number one on his list is his music.

“My focus is on my music because that is what I love.”

Instead of leaving the country for ‘greener pastures’ he prefers to stay here and contribute to moving Guyana forward.

Earlier this year, he released ‘Cockroaches’ that had as its message: “Cleanse your life. Sanitise your life. Protect yourself from these cockroaches.”

Jumo had said it’s time people rid themselves of negative traits that others exhibit. “Anything that is unwanted, negative, would cause you pain, that don’t want you to succeed. I am saying to spray them out your life. Cleanse them.”
