Mashup Day is a Power Soca anthem that celebrates the spirit of carnival and the joy of music. The song features three popular Soca artists in the Caribbean: Iwer George (T'dad), Sekon Sta (T'dad), and Problem Child out of Saint Vincent. The trio delivers a catchy and energetic performance that will make you want to jump, wave, and whine.
 
The theme of this song is pure revelry and bacchanal. The lyrics encourage revelers to mashup and have fun because every day can be "Mashup Day.". Catchy and clever lyrical content to encourage people to fete and have fun: "What Day is Today? Mashup Day!".
 
The song's production is top-notch, with a pulsating rhythm, a chest-thumping bassline, and rhythms that have flavor and excitement. "Mashup Day" was produced by DJ Ky, Rebel Muzik, Added Ranking, and DJ Avalanche. They all understand what carnival road revelers are looking for when masquerading on the road on Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
 
Mashup Day is a song that showcases the diversity and richness of Soca music and Caribbean culture. It is a song that will make you feel proud to be a part of the carnival family. It is a song that will make you mash up the place!
 
We believe that this is the Power Soca song that will be etched in the minds of revelers at the street parades. We also feel that the hook line, "What day is today? Mashup Day!" will be easy to recall but feel like lines that should have been sung by Super Blue. This is one to watch for the Road March Competition in 2024.

Terri Lyons, daughter of Soca Royalty Super Blue and sister of Fay-Ann Lyons Alvarez, has once again emerged victorious as the Queen of Queens Caribbean Calypso Monarch at Montserrat’s Regional Female Calypso competition held on December 30, 2023.
 

She won the competition with a total of 820 points, beating out fellow Trinidadian Tiny (Kerine Williams), who scored 802 points, and Chrystal Cummins-Beckles (Barbados), who scored 801 points.

 

This is not the first time Terri Lyons has won the competition. She was also crowned the Queen of Queens Regional Female Calypso in 2022. In addition to these accolades, and for those playing catch-up, she was the Calypso Queen of Trinidad and Tobago in 2020.

 

We, at Sokah2Soca, fell in love with Terri's talent when she sang "Smile" with Ataklan. She is this blogger's favorite female artist in the Caribbean region. She is a boss at Calypso and delivers excellent Soca renditions. 

We congratulate Miss Terri Lyons as a repeat Caribbean Calypso Queen. Terri’s victory is a testament to her exceptional talent and hard work. Congratulations to her on this remarkable achievement!

Devotion Is Here! Destra Garcia Drops a New Soca Anthem to Fuel Your Carnival Fire. So move over, Mr. Fete, because the Queen of Bacchanal is taking the crown – and the dance floor – with her brand new Soca anthem, "Devotion!" Released just in time to ignite your Carnival spirit, Destra Garcia brings fire and finesse in equal measure with this infectious track.
 
From the opening beat, your body knows what to do. The music, expertly crafted by a dream team of producers – Kernal Roberts, Azikiweh Keller, Alexander Gooding, Anthony Chow Lin On, and Brian Morris – pulsates with a driving Soca rhythm that makes you want to jump, whine, and lose yourself in the pure joy of movement.
 
But "Devotion" is more than just a dancefloor banger. The lyrics, penned by Kernal Roberts, Azikiweh Keller, and Anthony Chow Lin On, are a declaration of love for the very essence of Carnival. It's not just about the rum and revelry; it's about the community, the camaraderie, the shared abandon that binds us together under the Caribbean sun.
 
"We go jump up and up and up and whine up and up and up... it's devotion," Destra sings, her voice soaring atop the vibrant melody. And we believe her. Every note, every rhythm, every lyric resonates with the passionate fervor that fuels Carnival.
 
Destra, already crowned the "Queen of Bacchanal," brings her royal swagger to this track. Her vocals are clean and effortless, gliding over the Soca beat with the grace of a seasoned veteran. She owns this song, and it shows.
 
"Devotion" is more than just a song; it's a movement. It's a call to arms to embrace the spirit of Carnival with open arms and boundless energy. It's a reminder that amid the frenzy, there's a deep and unwavering dedication to the joy, the unity, and the pure ecstasy that makes Carnival the greatest party on earth.
 
So, crank up the volume, grab your friends, and prepare to sweat it out. "Devotion" is here to fuel your Carnival fire, and Destra Garcia is leading the charge. We recommend getting on board – this one's a surefire contender for Road March honors! Now, let's "jump up and up and up, and whine up and up and up" because it's devotion!
