Soca frequently overshadowed and overlooked calypsos during the recent Trinidad and Tobago carnival. Media houses, with the exception of WACK Visual Radio, have largely neglected Calypso music, unlike the attention it receives in Saint Lucia. Calypso is thriving in Saint Lucia, and Sokah2Soca is ensuring that it receives the spotlight it deserves!
Calypso enthusiasts will appreciate this post, as we anticipate listing 100 performances in the YouTube music player. When you listen to these songs, you'll have the chance to laugh a bit while thoroughly enjoying Saint Lucian Calypso. This music embodies rhythm, wit, and storytelling, and the latest YouTube playlist is a testament to its growing energy. Featuring 89 performances (with more being added daily!), the voices of Saint Lucia’s calypso artists are resonating loud and clear. Some of the artists on the player include Delicious B, Dragon, Kcey, Lil Richie, Selena, Super D, Ashe and many more.
With 89 songs and performances already posted, you will hear tracks that deliver social commentary set to infectious melodies. We are not just about soca and steelband music; we continuously support and promote calypso that is available for posting. Not all the artists have their songs promoted on YouTube or send MP3 files for posting. We continue to highlight available music.
We encourage all fans of calypso music to bookmark this post and return daily for new calypso performances added by the promoters of this YouTube player. After all, the phrase "Long Live Calypso" will only have meaning if we hear the music!
We will continue to promote Calypso music alongside Soca. Calypso needs a home where people can go and play the songs "on demand." We want to be the portal where people can come not only for soca but also for sweet calypso music from across the Caribbean basin. This post, while highlighting Saint Lucian calypso, continues that tradition and adds to our mixes of Trinidadian calypso music. If you want your song featured, please contact us, and we will facilitate your desire to be heard. We will ensure that the vibrant rhythms and storytelling traditions of calypso continue to resonate in today's music landscape.
Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
Our goal is to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and tales of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy continues to reach a wider audience and foster creativity and connections. While you should always buy music for sale, you should avoid sharing promotional music because it denies songwriters, producers, and artists important revenue. Please be aware that all of our posts are available online through social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and SoundCloud. We recommend exploring your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
