Listeners are treated to a blend of interviews with legendary artists, insightful commentary, and a curated playlist that highlights the pivotal tracks that have left an indelible mark on the music scene.
The use of the different instruments in structuring the music is explained. Then again, you will learn about the unique use of the bass guitar in our music and the influence of the Mighty Shadow, who added melody to the use of the bass guitar.
The discussion featured GBM Nutron and Carl Beaver Henderson, both of whom delivered important historical information about Soca. It is important to note, as is explained in this interview, the return to the Calypso beat leading the way with Soca once again. What was once old has once again become new.
