Look who is back. Roger George, three-time Junior Calypso Monarch (1988, 1990, 1991-MusicLog), is a seasoned and versatile vocalist with something special produced by Samuel Archer. The music release is titled "Karnival." The song is a mid-tempo soca release built for road action with a fete vibe energy (you won't get tired chipping or whining to this song), blending contemporary sheen with traditional Carnival rhythms as part of the ongoing Wuk Up Riddim initiative.
The single joins earlier Wuk Up Riddim Volume Two cuts like Yolanda’s “Fumble” and Orin Richards’ “No Stupid Man,” extending the project’s Carnival 2025–2026 campaign. We previously featured songs from the Wuk Up Riddim for Tobago's Carnival. Those songs got favorable views on Sokah2Soca, and we expect this one to excel.
Simply put, this combination of singer and producer works! Roger George, long respected as one of Trinidad and Tobago's standout vocalists, brings his seasoned delivery to the ongoing Wuk Up project, reconnecting with fans who know his work from calypso, Panorama, and frontline Soca stages.
Produced and arranged by Samuel Archer, “Karnival” continues Archer’s multidecade mission to craft carefully produced Soca for both Trinidad and Tobago Carnival seasons through the Wuk Up Riddim Project.
And here we are... Look out for “Karnival” on all major streaming platforms and in rotation as the Wuk Up Riddim franchise rolls into Carnival 2026.
We are cognizant of the fact that with Christmas in full swing and Carnival gradually pushing the season to the limits, people are busy. But we ask that after you listen to the production, please share and support the creators so projects like this can keep pushing authentic Carnival music to the global Soca community.
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. You can find all of our posts online on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud.
