Sokah2Soca - The Heartbeat of Soca, Calypso, and Caribbean Music

This is new music for St. Vincent and the Grenadines; this is music for Vincy Mas 2013. The music is moving and has a really sweet Island Pop vibe. I like this track and you will enjoy grooving to it too. Both Maddzart and especially Tamisha did wonderful work on the vocals. DJ Cutson produced a very sweet rhythm for these singers to showcase  their singing prowess... OK, this one gets a pass but I have something to add to the conversation.

Many of the songs released for Trinidad's carnival had a distinct 'Island Pop/Techno vibe and that was met with a negative vibe from many of the listeners in the region. I find it very amusing that on islandmix.com there is a thread discussing the merits of the music. They are now trying to back off the Soca/Island Pop train. Amare Triniboi, who is a moderator on imix had this to say: " I'm saying its a fusion with a pop style... The type of song this is... It's simply a dance tune..... Or pop... Not islandpop".  Not Soca!

OK, the song is meant for the club scene! I am not going to get on anyone's case for making music of any style but I wonder how this song will vibe in a Carnival fete scene? After all,  this was released for Vincy Mas 2013!

What vibe do you get from this song? Is is one that you can 'get on bad with at a fete? Please leave your thoughts via the comment feature of this blog post (pencil top right).
