At Sokah2Soca, we love to select and promote songs that stand out from the pack. Most of the time, all the credit goes to the artist, and nothing should be taken away from the artist in this song. Viking Ding Dong has grown and excelled year after year. Having said that, we applaud the creativity of the AdvoKit Production team while heaping praise on the songwriting team of Kitwana Israel, Jelani “Pops” Shaw, and Andre Houlder. Yes, we love this song and approve of it wholeheartedly.
The vibe of this song just feels good and places the listener in a J'ouvert morning space. Just close your eyes and listen to the song. Soak in the lyrics and immerse your auditory senses in this magical vibe that digs deep into the musical culture of Trinidad and Tobago. This just feels like 'a mash-up de place' vibe feting all night into J'Ouvert morning. No rest all night, then paint and powder to greet the sunrise. This is all about Mas; this is about our culture. Can you feel it?
We approve of this song; the lyrical content is on point, and the musical production just takes the production to a place where carnival dreams come true. When you listen to this song, you will subconsciously experience the culture and vibe of the Twin Island Republic, sweet Trinidad and Tobago. Kudos to all involved with this production.
Let us promote the culture of the Caribbean diaspora:
