The 1996 Ragga Soca hit “So Nanny,” arranged by Robin Imamsha and Ajala, is reborn as a Chutney Soca anthem featuring Savita Singh and Yuh Bredda. With Yung Bredda’s signature flair, this revival bridges generations and promises to be a Carnival 2026 banger in Trinidad and Tobago.
So Nanny is back—and it’s blazing hotter than ever! This 1996 Ragga Soca production has been reborn for a new generation, the next generation, reimagined as a Chutney Soca track that fuses nostalgia with fresh fire and the influence of Yung Bredda.
Is it just a remix or more in the offering? The transition from Ragga Soca to Chutney Soca serves as a cultural bridge, and we are eagerly anticipating what will come next. I listened to the song and loved it, but the vocals of Savita Singh could have been more powerful. The playful antics of Yuh Bredda covered that aspect of the production. Like the original version, the track bursts with energy, humor, and undeniable Carnival spirit. This song serves as a teaser in many ways, particularly through its use of double entendre... priceless! What was old is new again, and this rebirth ensures that "So Nanny" will dominate the road for Carnival 2026.
A Legacy Reignited
- Originally arranged by Robin Imamsha and Ajala, So Nanny first dropped in 1996, instantly becoming a crowd favorite.
- Its infectious rhythm and cheeky lyrics made it a staple of Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival soundtrack.
- Three decades later, the song stands poised to reclaim its throne, demonstrating that true classics never fade—they evolve. And this evolution
The Yung Bredda Effect
- He is known for his signature catchphrase
- Yung Bredda injects his unique style into the track with his signature catchphrase, “Who does that?”
- His playful delivery and modern spin ensure that the song resonates not only with the youth but also with the “old heads” who remember the original.
- This dual appeal makes So Nanny a rare Carnival gem: a tune that unites generations on the road and in the fete.
Carnival 2026 Anthem in the Making With its fusion of Ragga Soca roots, Chutney Soca flair, and contemporary swagger, "So Nanny" is set to be more than just a song—it’s a movement. We expect it to light up the airwaves, mash up the fetes, and become a must-play on every DJ’s Carnival playlist. So, do you think that this song can take control once again?
