Kaiso, Kaiso, and, oh yes, today is the time to reminisce with some really sweet Calypso music. Yes, people, we are shining a spotlight on Trinidad's rich and vibrant Calypso music. Join us in celebrating as we feature the incredible talents of Yung Bredda, DJ Hotty, and Jamie—three young guns bringing Calypso to life with their unique vibes and energetic performances.
Who said that Calypso is only for the older generation? These young individuals are poised to refute that misguided belief. The youth have a deep love for Calypso and are eager to contribute their energy to the genre that served as the foundation for the evolution of Soca music. The performance opened with one new vibe titled "Kettle Pot" by Yung Bredda on the newly released "Tilden Hall Riddim," produced by De Red Boyz, after which it is only ole-school Calypso music. So, get ready for "Calypso Wild Card Vol. 1," a musical journey that promises to get you in the groove before the bacchanal kicks off. This is a party where only the sweetest Calypso tunes reign supreme—no Soca, just pure Calypso magic.
Damn, favorite after favorite, vibe for so with the bards of yesteryear shining brightly. Tune in and vibe with fans from around the world as we experience the infectious rhythms and soulful melodies of Trinidad's Calypso music. Let the music move you, and let's celebrate this incredible art form together!

Get ready to savor every drop of this musical delight from "Kes the Band," with lead vocals by Kees Diefenthaler, and let the carnival spirit fill your heart! Kees looks back and uses our love for cocoa tea to fulfill many desires—our love for this comforting drink and double entendre that takes you on a sensual journey.
Now let's focus on the task at hand: the arrival of Carnival 2025 brings with it the irresistible charm of "Cocoa Tea," the latest release from Kes the Band. Produced by the talented Tano and penned by Kes and Tano themselves, this Soca track is a delightful teaser that West Indians and Soca enthusiasts worldwide will undoubtedly cherish.
"Cocoa Tea" is more than just a song; it's a nostalgic journey wrapped in a playful double entendre. For those who grew up in the Caribbean, the simple pleasure of sipping cocoa tea from an enamel cup brings back vivid memories of carefree days, where the world felt just right. It's that warm, comforting feeling akin to chicken soup for the soul—only in musical form.
"Kes the Band" has masterfully blended these heartwarming elements into a track that not only celebrates the past but also brings fresh vibes for Carnival 2025. The infectious rhythm, coupled with traditional Calypso influences and modern Soca beats, creates a soundscape that is both familiar and exhilarating.
The production by Tano is on point, capturing the essence of what makes Carnival so special. It's music that speaks to our shared heritage and the joyous spirit of the festival, inviting everyone to join in and celebrate.
If you are in a nostalgic mood, then memories of 'cocoa tea' will leave you feeling warm inside. Then again, using double entendre, we can add some spice to these lyrics. Just imagine coming home after a long day and embracing that warm feeling that the one you love can deliver. Let "De Girlz Dem Darlin," aka Kes, lead you down that sensual path. For fans of good music, just let the music take you back to those sweet, simple times and embrace the happiness and unity that Carnival brings.
