From the golden vaults of Soca Royal (2008), Byron Lee and the Dragonaires gifted us the unforgettable Rebel Medley—a track that still stirs hearts and hips alike. I have always wanted to post this song, and after hearing it played on the radio during this slow week following the Brooklyn Labor Day Carnival celebrations, it now feels like a good time to share it.
Played with love on WACK Visual Radio 90.1FM, this medley is a favorite of Mr. Desmond, and for good reason. This medley transcends beyond mere music, serving as a timeless classic. This medley harks back to a time when Soca music was smooth, lyrical, and unabashedly joyful.
This medley delivers sweet melodies with memorable lyrics and vocals that captivate the listener. It was a different time with a different style of Soca—rebellious in rhythm, rich in feeling.
This one’s for the good times, the nostalgic old days, and the back-in-the-day sweetness that shaped our Caribbean soundscape. Whether you’re waving a rag, sipping something strong, or just vibing in your living room—Rebel Medley reminds us why we fell in love with Soca in the first place.
Turn it up. Feel the nostalgia. Celebrate the legacy. As Deso would say, Soca has no season... the rhythm is our own creation; love it, play it, feel it!
Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
Our goal is to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and tales of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy continues to reach a wider audience and foster creativity and connections.
