Background:

Many islands across the Caribbean, celebrate what is known as Carnival. It is an annual festival where the people celebrate their culture and freedom, through music, dance, events and the arts.

The largest of these Carnivals is in Trinidad and Tobago, where the Carnival season is spread over many months and leads up to the colourful, vibrant and exciting two day street parade. The music and dance of Carnival in Trinidad is Soca.

Soca music is also the soundtrack of Carnivals in Barbados, Jamaica, St Vincent and across a number of other islands. This is no longer limited to the Caribbean with Carnival and Soca music also spreading to other countries like the USA (Miami Carnival, Labour Day NYC), Canada (Caribana), Japan, England and many other nations.

Interesting facts:

Soca was created in the 1970’s through the experimentation and fusion of calypso, cadence and East Indian instruments.
It is an acronym for “Soul of Calypso” and coined by Ras Shorty I.
Rihanna often participates in Cropover, the Carnival season in her homeland of Barbados.
