Trinidadian fusion band Orange Sky releases Too Many, a socially conscious single blending afrobeats, reggae, and Caribbean vibes. Out now on major platforms, it tackles modern challenges like violence, desensitisation, and tech shifts, using natural imagery to stress shared humanity. The track warns of turmoil while offering hope, with a refrain celebrating unity and compassion as ordinary people’s power.
Frontman Nigel Rojas, inspired by a butterfly’s vulnerability against human conflict, calls Too Many different yet 100% him. Founded in 1996 by brothers Nigel and Nicholas in Belmont, Port of Spain, Orange Sky, named for the infinite orange sky, fuses hard rock’s heaviness with reggae’s warmth, delivered in gritty Trinidadian vocals.
Their sound mixes riffs, calypso rhythms, and authenticity, drawing from the Beatles to Bob Marley. Discography highlights: 2005’s Upstairs (U.S. debut), 2008’s Dat Iz Voodoo, 2021’s Strange Days with Free, 2023’s ska-punk Hungry Like the Wolf cover (indie chart hit), and 2025’s Family Love. Too Many and Family Love preview a 30th-anniversary EP in April 2026, after nearly 30 singles. Touring globally across the US, Caribbean, India, Europe, and Canada, they’ve shared stages with Evanescence, Damian Marley, and more, earning ovations and T&T ambassador status. Awards include a 1999 government prize; 2023 single hit #2 on indie charts.
Nigel collaborates in soca, like guitar on Bunji Garlin’s Soul Train-winning Differentology, and with Destra Garcia, Ravi B, and steelpan icon Len Boogsie Sharpe. Approaching 30 years, Orange Sky plans tours in Guyana, North America, Europe, and festivals. Nigel sees this as the world’s readiness for South Caribbean music, bridging genres and cultures. “Music is magic, music is a mystery, and that mystery keeps it fresh”, says Nigel. ‘If you play an instrument, you will never be lonely.”
