Soca
Trinidad's carnival engine
Soca is de karnevalsmyk fan Trinidad en Tobago. Dizze muzyk is flugger en percussiver dan de calypso dy' t it weaste fan, en dy' tbouwd is foar de moarch' s. It is it lûd fan Karibysk karneval op de eilanden en de diaspora.
Origin & history
Soca developed in Trinidad in the 1970s, with the Trinidadian musician Lord Shorty — later Ras Shorty I — widely credited as its originator, fusing calypso with the Indian-Caribbean rhythms of the island.
It became the engine of carnival in Trinidad and then across the Caribbean and its diaspora, with carnivals in London, Toronto, New York and Miami built around it.
