Mical Teja is today's version of the Calypso griot; his songs and lyrics weave stories of our culture into music that feels timeless and current. His latest project, WE CALYPSO, featuring Karene Asche, is more than just a song—it’s a total concept brought to life in sound and vision.
Once again, Teja delivers music that will last long after carnival is over. His songwriting skills shine in another brilliant composition; he reminds me of the talent that was calypsonian "Merchant." "We Calypso" is a vibrant celebration of calypso. The song brings unity and community to the forefront and, along with the power of music, has the capacity to bring people together, It reminds us of the genre’s enduring role in Trinidad and Tobago’s cultural heartbeat.
As mentioned previously, Teja is a brilliant songwriter. Teja's songwriting abilities highlight calypso’s deep cultural roots and, at the same time, showcase the genre's ability to make people dance, smile, and feel good. It’s a reminder that calypso is not just music—it’s joy, history, and identity. It is the mother music from which Soca came and rushed into prominence.
A song can touch the soul, but with visuals that connect, the entire story is told, linking both our auditory and visual senses and bringing clarity to the project. The official video features Mical Teja and Karene Asche performing alongside a live band. We love the vibe; the energy is infectious, the visuals are so appealing, and the performance captures the spirit of calypso in motion—community, rhythm, celebration, afro hairstyles, bell-bottom pants, and rainbow clothing colors. The concept video and music production capture a period in our history that many call epic.
Our music and culture is on full display with this production bringing sweet Soca music with Calypso vibes. It feels like mother calypso giving birth, once again, as Soca pushes from the hands that pries the rhythm from the drum kit. The vibe and energy are there. The vocals are outstanding, the production is precise, and the sound engineering is impeccable. There is nothing to complain about here. The music, lyrics, and video together paint a vivid picture that reflects positively on both the producer and the culture of Trinidad and Tobago. Mical Teja and Karene Asche deliver excellence, and we at Sokah2Soca are proud to give a positive review of WE CALYPSO.
