Dancing In The Streets x2 — A Chutney Soca Experience
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
We present “Dancing In The Streets x2” for your listening pleasure... first the updated version performed by Machel Montano and Mela Caribe at the Chutney Soca Monarch Finals last night and then the original version. Trust us—you’ll love both. But... let’s not pretend the room was neutral. When Machel dropped the Indo‑Trini mix of “Dancing In The Streets,” half the audience went wild and the other half whispered, “He’s really doing that here?” Love it or hate it, the moment was unforgettable.
❌ What Went Wrong
This was the moment Machel made a critical misstep that likely cost him the crown. The flow of the performance on stage was amazing, but then...
- Timing: The Indo-Trini mix wasn’t released early enough to build momentum among Chutney Soca fans.
- Fusion Overload: The Soca segment at the end diluted the Chutney Soca vibe he had built earlier. Damn, why did he do that? He tried to be too inclusive, is my take on that.
- Missed Cultural Depth: Including Hindu lines sung by both Mela and Machel could have added authenticity and resonance with a crowd that was waiting for his performance and those who thought he should not be there. He could have left them speechless!
✅ What Went Right
- Stage Presentation: Machel delivered the best visual and performance package of the night.
- There was joy, and the energy he brought to the stage was electric.
- Rhythm Section: Keshav from Jus Now brought serious heat to the rhythm with a sweet interpretation that, I am certain, made DJ Private Ryan smile.
- Production: The Indo-Trini mix was solid, and DJ Private Ryan delivered a top-tier production.
- Vibe: The energy was undeniable—a feel-good track with Carnival soul and an Indo-Trini vibe that was certainly palpable.
Let’s Celebrate the Moment
Yes, it was a missed opportunity. Machel Montano could have repeated as Chutney Soca Monarch—but that’s water under the bridge. What he did give us was a track that feels damn good, a track that went beyond the musical divide and surely would have made Lord Shorty smile.
We witnessed the presence of a Soca Diva in the making:
We’ve known Mela Caribe from her work with DJ Private Ryan, but now, thanks to this collaboration with the Monk, she’s a household name. Well done, MM.
Finally—Cote Ci Cote La:
And to the critics who said Machel didn’t belong in the show—he gave your genre visibility, validation, and vibes. Yes, say it: C'est La Vie!
Until next time… that’s all she wrote, folks.
Let us continue to uplift and celebrate the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.

Panorama Semis 2026 — The World Should Be Watching!
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
Dive deeper into Caribbean music and culture at Sokah2Soca — your go-to source for Soca, Calypso, and Carnival coverage. First published on Sokah2Soca, now streaming live via Island Vybe Radio.
It's "Pan in Yuh Pwefen" today, and the Queen’s Park Savannah is alive with the thunder and brilliance of Trinidad & Tobago’s finest steelbands, the best in the world. It’s the most breathtaking event of Carnival—a celebration of rhythm, unity, and musical mastery.
From the first strike of the tenor pan to the rolling basslines, this is Trinbago culture at its peak. The energy is unmatched. The artistry is world-class. And yes—the world is watching.
But here’s the truth: Pan Trinbago missed a moment.
This spectacular showcase deserved better promotion, better streaming, and a global push worthy of its magic. The steelpan is our national instrument. Panorama is our crown jewel. And the people—both at home and abroad—deserve seamless access to this cultural treasure.
Let’s celebrate the bands. Let’s amplify the music.
And let’s demand better visibility for the art form that moves us all.
