Dive deeper into Caribbean music and culture at Sokah2Soca—your go-to source for Soca, Calypso, and Carnival coverage. First published on Sokah2Soca, now streaming live via Island Vybe Radio.
Sokah2Soca is officially on high alert—Carnival 2026 is calling, and Mr. Lee just answered with a tune that feels like a sunrise over the Savannah: warm, electric, and full of promise. Mr. Lee's vocals are vibrant and capture the spirit of Carnival. Welcome back to Trinidad, welcome back to Carnival”—that’s not just a lyric. That’s a heartbeat. A rallying cry. A love letter to the greatest street fête on Earth. The songwriting team of Joseph "Pronto" Figueroa and Tyro "Mr. Lee" Matthews managed to lyrically capture the vibe of the people for carnival with this composition... we applaud this.
Mr. Lee’s latest release, aptly titled “Welcome Back,” is a sonic homecoming. It’s Carnival time again, and while Tobago will showcase its excitement later this year, this track specifically highlights Trinidad’s glorious return to full Carnival form in 2026. The energy? Instant. The vibe? Irresistible. The runtime? Just under three minutes—but it leaves you wanting more. A DJ extended mix isn’t just recommended—it’s necessary.
This isn’t just a song—it’s a declaration. Carnival is not a season. It’s a spirit. And Mr. Lee just lit the first match. We absolutely feel this song; the vocals, music, and songwriting skills paint a picture that all Caribbean people can appreciate.
This song brings a vibe and the feeling that Carnival is here at last. Let the rhythm rise. Let the people say, "Welcome back."
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.
