I recently stumbled upon a vibrant Chutney mixtape on a YouTube channel called Pandit Cocky, which seems to be based in the Netherlands. Despite the limited details about the channel, the music captivated me, and I believe it could resonate with the broader East Indian diaspora.
I am confident that, like Sokah2Soca, your curiosity is about who’s behind the sound. We know this; the group is called Oemar & Squadz.
Our Google search turned up the following information about this group:
- They are a live music and entertainment outfit based in the Netherlands
- Apparently, the group is well known for performing at weddings, parties, and community events
- They are well connected musically with Hindustani music as well as Caribbean Chutney music
- It looks like they frequently do collaborations with other artists and may soon become a known entity within the Caribbean East Indian community.
We bleed Soca, but there is also Chutney Soca and a thriving East Indian-style music industry that is exploding across Trinidad, Guyana, Surinam and Toronto, Canada. So get ready to listen to artists such as Oemar and Squadz because excellent music has no borders. This cross-cultural blend of Caribbean Chutney vibes and European-based artistry reminds us how music travels, adapts, and thrives across borders.
If anyone reading this post is familiar with this group and their music, kindly leave a comment for others wanting to learn about the group. We do hope you enjoy the group's music.
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists.
