From the YouTube music post:
Trinidad-born recording artist Mad Hed City drops a high-energy Jouvert anthem, "Liquor, just in time for Carnival! This track is a celebration of resilience, rhythm, and revelry, urging partygoers to "hold your liquor" and keep the vibes alive. With infectious hooks, pulsating rhythms, and playful lyrics, "Liquor" captures the spirit of Jouvert—drenched in water, rum, and boundless energy.

It would be considered malpractice not to post this Power Soca offering from the anointed King of Soca, Machel Montano. This one should head to the front of the class for Road March consideration. We are aware that this is a long way off and many more Power Soca releases are on the horizon. Having said that, come on now, this is MM, and he has dropped this energizer bunny track for Carnival 2025. As you prepare to feed the carnival beast, ensure you have fully charged your batteries. This is MM's offering from the Kubiyashi-produced album "Bring Back Riddim," and Machel is taking it all to the bank!
"Wave It" was co-written by Gamal "Skinny Fabulous" Doyle, Machel Montano, and Alex "Kubiyashi" Barnwell, and after listening to the music and taking in the lyrics, we believe, at this moment, that this song is set to take control for Carnival 2025. Who knows, maybe something special may come along, but for this moment in time, this is your leader for the Road March competition. Yes, I know we are a long way off, but that is what we are here for, and for you to put us in our place if needed.
In the end, we believe that this is an excellent new music release. Initially, that was not the case, but after playing the song a second time, we became believers. Don't tell that to George "Ian" Jorine of Islandvybe Radio. He would say, "Yeah, right, if you say so!" Sigh, don't be a hater; just turn up the volume and break out into a joyous sweat with MM as he beckons you to "Wave It" for Carnival 2025!

If you love listening to the faster variety of Soca music, aka Power Soca, then you are in for a treat. Today we present a track that will surely have you dancing the night away. But wait, this song, "Party Time" from "Bring Back Riddim," is the one to use in the gym to get fit and ready for Carnival 2025. The energy is raw and is a testament to the producer, Kubiyashi. Skinny Fabulous and Kubiyashi co-wrote "Party Time," which, along with the music production, is sure to become one of your favorites as we gear up for Carnival 2025.
Indeed, those who have been following Skinny Fabulous and Kubiyashi, who is also from Saint Vincent, know that they are renowned for infusing their music with a vibrant energy. This is pure and essential fête music; this is music that should vie for the road march in any territory. Unfortunately, Skinny cannot vie for the Road March title (on his own) in Trinidad and Tobago. Machel Montano's "Wave It," a sidekick song from the same album, will have the final say.
We, at Sokah2Soca, like the vibe and love the energy that Skinny Fabulous and Kubiyashi bring to this Riddim. The two songs released are exactly what the "energy doctor" ordered. So, press play, "tun up" the volume, and get ready to break out in a sweat! Take this musical journey with Skinny Fabulous and let him put you in a carnival state of mind. Don't you just love it?

Work with me here for the moment. We simply cannot ignore the fact that it's Christmas, and the twin island Republic of Trinidad & Tobago has its very own and unique music. The music of Parang, Parang Soca, and, more importantly, Soca Parang, marks this special time of the year. We simply cannot and should not devote all our time to posting new Soca music, although the video does feature some Soca in between the Parang Soca. We will continue to post the new music, but we owe the season the recognition it deserves. Today, we are showcasing an intriguing presentation from Caribbean Insight TV. Parang Soca is gaining popularity as the preferred Christmas music. Traditionalists will still have their share of music for competitions and traditional home serenades, but for the radio and all bacchanalists, Parang Soca is the music of the moment.
We absolutely enjoyed watching this presentation, and, for that reason, we congratulate the people at Caribbean Insight for a job well done. Watch the video and tune in to WACK Radio for an upcoming presentation that highlights the top 25 Parang Soca songs. Do you have a list? Well, create one and tune in to WACK Radio to see if your songs made the cut. We, at Sokah2Soca, are doing our part. You can help by sharing this post and spreading the news about WACK Radio 90.1's upcoming presentation. In the interim, enjoy some sweet Parang Soca and remember this: "Iz We Ting!"
From Caribbean Insight TV:
Parang is the electrifying new star exploding onto the scene from the Caribbean! With his unique sound and captivating presence, he is quickly gaining recognition and stealing the hearts of fans all around the world. His music is a fresh blend of vibrant rhythms and engaging melodies that perfectly capture the essence of Caribbean culture. Parang's journey to stardom is just beginning, and as he dazzles audiences with his performances, it's clear that he is destined for greatness in the music industry. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the magic of Parang as he takes the world by storm!
