You will absolutely love this mixtape by DJ Judgement out of Montreal Canada. The music on this is out of this world. A mixture of Trinidad and Tobago and Dominica, sprinkled with other Caribbean artists, just spiced up the musical pot.
Are you ready for the ultimate carnival experience? If you are, then you need to check out the latest mixtape from DJ Judgement, Road 2 Carnival 2024. This mixtape features the hottest tracks from Dominica and Trinidad, two islands that are known for their vibrant and diverse musical cultures.
Dominica is the home of bouyon, a fusion of soca, cadence-lypso, and other genres that create a fast-paced and energetic sound. Bouyon has been popularized by bands like WCK, Triple Kay, and Asa Bantan, as well as solo artists like Reo, Colton T, and Signal Band. Some of the bouyon songs you will hear on this mixtape are:
- Super Gremlin (Bouyon Remix) by Dj Taffy
- Deli by Ice Spice (Bouyon Remix)
- Body Language by Mr Challenger
- Shake Your Pampalam by Asa Bantan
- Cut Them Off by Moxie Shervy
- Calendar Riddim by Signal Band ft. Shelly & DJ Drixx
Trinidad is the birthplace of calypso, steelpan, and soca, genres that have influenced music all over the world. Soca is the dominant genre of carnival music in Trinidad, with its catchy melodies, pulsating rhythms, and infectious lyrics. Soca has evolved over the years, incorporating elements from other genres like dancehall, reggae, and EDM. Some of the soca songs you will hear on this mixtape are:
- Round and Rosie by Nailah Blackman
- Carnival Contract by Bunji Garlin
- The Greatest Carnival by Mical Teja
- Miss Bitch by Fayann Lyons
- Release Everything by Shurwayne Winchester
- Do What You Want by Skinny Fabulous and Mr Killa
DJ Judgement has skillfully blended these songs together, creating a seamless and exciting mix that will keep you dancing and jumping all the way to any Caribbean Carnival. Whether you are planning to attend one of the upcoming Caribbean Carnivals, or just want to enjoy the music from the comfort of your home, this mixtape is for you.

Give love, feel love, be love... Shurwayne is on a mission to spread positivity, and pure unadulterated love. Today we debut for fans of this blog and anyone who loves Caribbean music an after-carnival music release from Shurwayne Winchester titled, "Pasyon".
Shurwayne Winchester, Soca music's Micael Jackson, has gifted us with a vibrant musical creation that seamlessly blends the infectious beats of Soca with the rhythmic allure of Kompa. Released after Trinidad's Carnival 2024, “Pasyon” is a single that transports listeners to sun-kissed beaches, lively dance floors, and tropical celebrations. It is a positive message of love and passion delivered with sensual musical vibes.
In “Pasyon,” Shurwayne Winchester infuses the vibe of Trinidad and Tobago and Soca music with an infusion of Haitian Kompa and his signature flair, creating an irresistible groove that invites everyone to join the party. Haitian Kompa (Konpa) music has always been a sensual and soulful sound. The accordion, guitar, and percussion intertwine, creating a danceable yet emotive experience. Shurwayne masterfully weaves Kompa elements into “Pasyon,” adding depth and intrigue.
As the song unfolds, you’ll feel the warmth of the Caribbean sun, taste the salt in the air, and sway to the intoxicating fusion of Soca and Kompa. Shurwayne’s vocals soar, inviting us to lose ourselves in the rhythm, celebrating life, love, and passion.
Whether you’re dancing barefoot on sandy shores or grooving in a dimly lit club, “Pasyon” is the soundtrack to those moments when music transcends boundaries. So, as you listen to this song on Sokah2Soca or on Island Vybe radio, we invite you to turn up the volume, let the beats envelop you, and let “Pasyon” ignite your spirit.

Island Vybe radio blog readers and listeners of Philadelphia's premier Caribbean radio station, we present, once again, "Inventor" by Olatunji Yearwood. Why are we back with this song after "the Mecca's" Carnival is over? Good question, and here is the answer, this song is so damn sweet, like a backyard Caribbean sugar cane. We believe that if this song had the time (a longer carnival season) and the right promotion, it could have done what DNA succeeded in doing.
Yes, we said it, and why haven't you been lighting a fire with the management of Island Vybe radio for more daily Soca music? Why not start and ask to hear this song on air? Can you do that?
We want more Soca; we want more Soca on Island Vybe Radio daily! Just listen to this song and tell me if your radio DJs are doing justice to Soca music. We applaud their love for dancehall and reggae, but come on fellas, we want more Soca! Enough said...

Pan sweet pan and yes, we are talking about the steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago. The steelpan is a unique musical instrument that originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1930s. Originally, it was made from discarded oil drums that are hammered and tuned to produce different notes. The steelpan is widely regarded as a symbol of Caribbean culture and innovation, and has been adopted by musicians and bands around the world.
We never seem to catch a break and the following should be noted: the steelpan also faces challenges in terms of intellectual property protection and recognition. Despite its popularity and significance, the steelpan has not been patented or registered as a national instrument by the government of Trinidad and Tobago. This has allowed other countries and individuals to claim ownership and innovation over various aspects of the steelpan design and tuning processes, and to profit from its commercialization.
As an example, in 2001, two US academics were granted a patent for a method of producing a Caribbean steelpan using hydroforming, a technique that was already used by local steelpan makers in the 1970s. The patent was contested by the Trinidad and Tobago government, but the case is still pending. Another example is the E-Pan, an electronic version of the steelpan that was invented by a Trinidadian engineer, but has not been officially recognized or supported by the government.
These cases illustrate the need for more awareness and action on the part of the steelpan community and the government of Trinidad and Tobago to protect and promote the steelpan as a national and cultural asset. The steelpan deserves respect and recognition as an original and innovative invention that reflects the history and identity of the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
Shenanagins aside, everyone understands that if you want a quality steelpan, a steelpan made in Trinidad and Tobago is worth its weight in gold. Yes, we are the gold standard, regardless of all the hoopla and claims by others. Now, with the cooperation of the EU International Intellectual Property Cooperation, our national instrument will gain respect with that stamp of approval. Read on...
EU International Intellectual Property Cooperation - Geographical Indicator/Intellectual Property Rights:
The steel pan is the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago ?? and it holds a profound significance during the carnival season, serving as both a cultural emblem and a rhythmic heartbeat of the festivities.
Beyond its role in entertainment, the steel pan fosters a sense of community and pride, uniting individuals through shared traditions and collective expression. The steel pan is part of #CarIPI’s Origin Linked Products Mentorship Programme, intended to provide producers with technical assistance to develop business strategies based on #IntellectualProperty rights.
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) - Geographical indications (GIs) are intellectual property (IP) rights that serve to identify a product that originates from a specific geographical area and that has a quality, reputation, or other characteristics that are essentially attributable to its geographical origin.
