Soaked In Soca! Bringing The Biggest Street p v Café Charlatan
SOCA?
But what exactly is Soca music and where did it come from? Let’s take a quick look and set the foundation.
Soca music is the soundtrack to West Indian Carnivals all over the world. The music that fuels the colour and vibrancy of Carnival, was developed by a Trinidadian calypsonian, the late Garfield Blackman, known in the calypso world as Lord Shorty.
It was around 1972/73 that Shorty developed the new genre by fusing the rhythms of the two major ethnic groups on the island: the Africans and Indians. His aim was to create peace, love, and unity through music by combining the African drums, brass and rhythms with the Indian dholak, tassa and sitar. The earliest spelling of Soca was sokah, the ‘so’ from calypso and the ‘kah’ representing the syllable in the first letter of the Indian alphabet.
