2024 Kayak Soca Mega Mixtape: Selector Jason Unleashes Carriacou Soca to the World

We have a boss mixtape that may have gone unnoticed by most Soca music lovers, especially those based in Trindad and Tobago. While most Trinis were focused on Trinidad and Tobago, just north of Trinidad, the island of Carriacou also experienced the joy of carnival, as did Trinidad and Tobago. So let's set the record straight: while both countries use Christian calendars to fix their carnival dates, both festivals, though similar, feature a different style of Soca. We have a mixtape by Selector Jason to help you feel the vibe of Kayak Mas 2024.
So, get ready to have fun! This is energy Soca, Jab Soca, or, you may simply say, sweet Soca music. If you are looking for a way to spice up your playlist with some Caribbean vibes, look no further than the 2024 Carriacou Soca Mega Mix by Selector Jason. This mix features some of the hottest soca tunes from the island of Carriacou, a part of Grenada, and showcases the talent and diversity of its artists.
We believe that the 2024 Carriacou Soca Mega Mix by Selector Jason is a great introduction to the soca scene of Carriacou and a must-listen for anyone who loves Caribbean music.

The carnival is over, but we just can't get enough of Trinidad and Tobago's carnival culture. Now is the time to celebrate the champs and savor the success of another successful carnival. So here we are, once again: are you ready for a night of pure magic from the Mecca of Steelpan and Carnival, Trinidad and Tobago? If so, you won’t want to miss the Carnival Lagniappe 2024, a spectacular show featuring the reigning champions of various Carnival categories, such as Steelpan, Mas, Soca, Calypso, Chutney, Chutney Soca, Extempo, Brass, and then some...
Now, what really is Carnival Lagniappe? Carnival Lagniappe, which means “a little something extra” in French Creole, is a gift from Pan Trinbago, the world governing body for steelpan, to the public. It is a way of celebrating and showcasing the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the talent and creativity of its people.
We head back to the central point, where the champions were crowned. The event will take place on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at 7 p.m. at Queen’s Park Savannah, the iconic venue for Carnival festivities. Tickets are only TT$300 (US $44) and can be purchased online or at Pan Trinbago’s head office. You can also watch the live stream on their website, and social media platforms or WACK Radio 90.1 FM/Television for US $30.
Another year and one last celebration of our culture before King Carnival rests until it is time for another carnival. Carnival Lagniappe 2024 promises to be an unforgettable night of rhythm and revelry, as you immerse yourself in the vibrant beats and captivating performances that define the heart and soul of Carnival. You will witness the best of the best in each category as they deliver their winning pieces with passion and flair.
You will not only be entertained but also educated as you enjoy the night's proceedings. You will also learn about the history and evolution of the different Carnival elements, such as the blue devils, a traditional character that dates back to the days of slavery, or the Jab Molassie, which means “molasses devil” in French patois. You will also discover the origins and influences of the various musical genres, such as Soca, which is a fusion of soul and calypso, or Chutney, which is a blend of Indian and Caribbean sounds.
This is not just another show; Carnival Lagniappe 2024 is more than just a show; it is a celebration of the spirit of Carnival, a spirit that transcends boundaries and unites people of all backgrounds and walks of life. It is a spirit that is alive and thriving in Trinidad and Tobago, the land of steelpan and carnival. The show will feature the winning steelbands in all categories, Calypso, Soca, and Chutney Soca winners, along with the champions of Mas, Kings, and Queens of the bands from Junior all the way up to the adult bands.
You are invited to come back to Sokah2Soca for links to the show. We intend to bring audio and hopefully video of the presentations. So, don’t miss the beat! Join us for a night with the champs and experience the magic of Carnival Lagniappe 2024.

It is coming, and we want you to be aware and ready for Grenada's August Carnival, better known as Spicemas. Spicemas isn’t just a carnival—it’s an expression of Caribbean culture, a celebration of freedom, and a testament to the island’s vibrant spirit. This exhilarating carnival extravaganza promises a fusion of culture, music, and unbridled joy.
All Caribbean carnivals have their origins in slavery, and with the end of slavery came the ability to celebrate and mock the slave master in song, costume, and dance. Spicemas commemorates the end of slavery and pays homage to Grenada’s rich cultural heritage. The festival has evolved over the years, blending tradition with modern flair.
Every island promotes its carnival differently. Grenada is famous for its jab-mas and Jab-Soca music. Some of the events one can look forward to experiencing are J'ouvert (the daybreak mas celebration) and Fancy Mas, where all the costumes are displayed in all their splendor. Monday Night Mas is unique to Grenada, and it's a way to continue the celebration with more music, dancing, and a euphoric feeling of joy.
As with most Caribbean Carnivals, there are competitions that people look forward to witnessing, such as Soca Monarch, when many talented Soca singers compete to be crowned Soca Monarch. Dimanche Gras is the final 'big show' before the street parades take place. The Carnival queen and Calypso monarch are crowned, after which the people head to the streets to celebrate J'ouvert.
Spicemas isn’t just about events; it’s an immersive experience. Visitors from around the globe flock to Grenada to revel in the music, colors, and infectious vibe. The streets come alive with tantalizing street food, friendly locals, and an overall sense of celebration. And the best part? It all happens in a safe, crime-free environment.
The dates and events are posted above, now it's time to get ready to party hard. The actual parade starts on Monday, August 12th and culminates in a sea of vibrant colors on Tuesday, August 13th., 2024. So, get ready to immerse yourself in the magic of Spicemas. Whether you’re dancing in J’ouvert, admiring the elaborate costumes, or savoring the flavors of Grenada, this carnival promises memories that will last a lifetime.

Live, love, and be happy is a code that I aspire to achieve. That code, when one thinks about it, can be applied to the festive nature of Trinidad and Tobago's carnival culture. Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago is a celebration of life, culture, and creativity. Our passion for life and love can be seen on our faces as we plan for fetes and major carnival events. It is a time when people of all backgrounds and walks of life come together to express themselves through music, dance, and masquerade. It is a time when the streets are filled with vibrant colors, infectious rhythms, and exuberant energy. It is a time when the spirit of the nation is at its highest. We embrace and accept everyone and invite everyone to play mas with us; it brings out the best in us, and we live a life of joy and share our love for all, and our happiness shines from our faces. But...
But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. And so, on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the Carnival season reaches its climax and conclusion. All frustrations are unburdened, and in that tropical sunshine, our joy for life explodes on the streets of Trinidad and Tobago. Then, as the day comes to an end and the sun sets on the final day of revelry, the masqueraders make their way back to their homes, leaving behind a trail of discarded costumes, broken bottles, and fading memories. The music stops, the crowds disperse, and the silence settles in.
This is the moment that Lord Kitchener, the Grand Master of Calypso, captures in his poignant song, "The Carnival Is Over." In this song, he laments the end of the festivities and the return to the mundane realities of everyday life. The sadness creeps in as many "chip" their way from the masquerade bands and return to their homes. We will go back to complaining that the radio stations don't play enough Soca and Calypso and that the culture slowly dies for the rest of the year until King Carnival breathes life into the cultural fire once again.
The Carnival Is Over is a song that resonates with many Trinidadians and Tobagonians, as well as anyone who has ever participated in or witnessed the spectacle of Carnival. It captures the mixed emotions that accompany the end of a season of joy. It is a song that reminds us of the beauty and fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment of happiness that we have. Even though the song signals that the carnival is over, it is a song that inspires us to look forward to the next carnival and to keep the spirit of carnival alive in our hearts throughout the year.
