Today we post an unexpected music release out of Trinidad and Tobago. The song, titled "One Family, Trinidad Anthem," is being promoted as "a unifying anthem for these unprecedented times" by the production team. This song reminds us of another groundbreaking song from the past, "We Are The World." But this song can and should be sung globally, not just in the Caribbean diaspora. 
 
The song, produced by SupaYouth and Tennille Amor, features artists like Bunji Garlin, Rheon Elbourne, Jahllano, Jalifa, and AMI, with additional lyrical contributions from Jah-Z Blaze, Mr. King, and Kid Volt. 
 
The song confronts violence, prejudice, and division, calling for empathy, accountability, and love. Live, love, and be fulfilled; you should want for others what you want for yourself. The song serves as a rallying cry for civility and harmony.  The message coming from this effort is praiseworthy and should help popularize the song. In these troubled times, we need to be compassionate and this song is comforting. 
 
If you appreciate these artists, you should commend this release, as many individuals seek more reflective music rather than solely energetic party songs.  "One Family Trinidad anthem," which symbolizes global unity, should be celebrated for its artistry and audacity, as it blends island sentiments with global impact in mind. On behalf of the artists and production team, Sokah2Soca says, 'you are welcome!'
 
If you like these artists, you should praise this release, as many want more thoughtful music, not just party tunes. On behalf of the artist, Sokah2Soca says, 'you are welcome!'
 
YouTube Music Notes:
'ONE FAMILY (Trinidad Anthem)' brings together some of the most powerful voices of our generation—Tennille Amor, Jah-Z Blaze, Rheon Elbourne, AMI, Jahllano, Bunji Garlin, Jalifa, Mr. King, and Kid Volt—in a unifying anthem for these unprecedented times.
 
While the world feels increasingly divided—across nations, cultures, and within our own communities—this song is a call to unity, love, and purpose. Trinidad and Tobago, like so many countries right now, is facing deep challenges: rising violence, political tensions, and social fragmentation. 'ONE FAMILY (Trinidad Anthem)' reminds us that no matter our background, faith, or differences, we are stronger together.
 
This is more than music—it is a movement. With the numerous wars taking place all over the world and across social media platforms, 'ONE FAMILY' is about choosing love over hate, unity over division, and hope over despair. By amplifying our voices as one, we can inspire change not just in Trinidad and Tobago, but across the globe.
 
Join the movement and share the message. We are ONE FAMILY!

Back in July, Mical Teja and Tano dropped a gem on us—"Weekend (TGFW)"—a track so beautifully written and produced, it instantly became a Sokah2Soca favorite. The song's vibes, vocals, and message embodied pure Soca soul.
 
I believe that we will continue to play this song year after year. Yes, this is a signature song that will become a party anthem for every carnival to come in Trinidad and Tobago. 

The original is wonderful, but there is something special about this live jam session. It is Saturday and everyone is jamming music as they go about their weekend activities. So we are here enhancing the experience with a unique Live Jam Session, featuring Mical Teja and the consistently tight Temperature The Band. This rendition brings a whole new energy to the song. The live brass? Pure fire ? It adds a layer of richness that makes the original feel even better. And Teja’s talent? Front and center, glowing like a Caribbean sunrise.

This track is our Saturday offering to Soca lovers everywhere. Turn up the volume, have the song on replay and enjoy the vibes! Damn, Soca music is so sweet and we will repeat, Soca has no season. The music and our culture are in excellent hands.
