If you love listening to the faster variety of Soca music, aka Power Soca, then you are in for a treat. Today we present a track that will surely have you dancing the night away. But wait, this song, "Party Time" from "Bring Back Riddim," is the one to use in the gym to get fit and ready for Carnival 2025. The energy is raw and is a testament to the producer, Kubiyashi. Skinny Fabulous and Kubiyashi co-wrote "Party Time," which, along with the music production, is sure to become one of your favorites as we gear up for Carnival 2025.
 
Indeed, those who have been following Skinny Fabulous and Kubiyashi, who is also from Saint Vincent, know that they are renowned for infusing their music with a vibrant energy. This is pure and essential fête music; this is music that should vie for the road march in any territory. Unfortunately, Skinny cannot vie for the Road March title (on his own) in Trinidad and Tobago. Machel Montano's "Wave It," a sidekick song from the same album, will have the final say.
 
We, at Sokah2Soca, like the vibe and love the energy that Skinny Fabulous and Kubiyashi bring to this Riddim. The two songs released are exactly what the "energy doctor" ordered. So, press play, "tun up" the volume, and get ready to break out in a sweat! Take this musical journey with Skinny Fabulous and let him put you in a carnival state of mind. Don't you just love it?

Work with me here for the moment. We simply cannot ignore the fact that it's Christmas, and the twin island Republic of Trinidad & Tobago has its very own and unique music. The music of Parang, Parang Soca, and, more importantly, Soca Parang, marks this special time of the year. We simply cannot and should not devote all our time to posting new Soca music, although the video does feature some Soca in between the Parang Soca. We will continue to post the new music, but we owe the season the recognition it deserves. Today, we are showcasing an intriguing presentation from Caribbean Insight TV. Parang Soca is gaining popularity as the preferred Christmas music. Traditionalists will still have their share of music for competitions and traditional home serenades, but for the radio and all bacchanalists, Parang Soca is the music of the moment.
 
We absolutely enjoyed watching this presentation, and, for that reason, we congratulate the people at Caribbean Insight for a job well done. Watch the video and tune in to WACK Radio for an upcoming presentation that highlights the top 25 Parang Soca songs. Do you have a list? Well, create one and tune in to WACK Radio to see if your songs made the cut. We, at Sokah2Soca, are doing our part. You can help by sharing this post and spreading the news about WACK Radio 90.1's upcoming presentation. In the interim, enjoy some sweet Parang Soca and remember this: "Iz We Ting!"
 
From Caribbean Insight TV:
Parang is the electrifying new star exploding onto the scene from the Caribbean! With his unique sound and captivating presence, he is quickly gaining recognition and stealing the hearts of fans all around the world. His music is a fresh blend of vibrant rhythms and engaging melodies that perfectly capture the essence of Caribbean culture. Parang's journey to stardom is just beginning, and as he dazzles audiences with his performances, it's clear that he is destined for greatness in the music industry. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the magic of Parang as he takes the world by storm!

Hello, Parang lovers! We have a musical treat for you that will surely amaze your guests this Christmas. We recognize the influence of carnival and Soca music on the Parang season, which is why we have chosen to showcase albums 1–4 of the "Strickly Parang Series: The Best of Trinidad Parang." These sixty-two songs should compensate for Carnival's encroachment on the Christmas season.
 
This collection features the most vibrant and festive tracks that capture the spirit of the season. Get ready to dance and celebrate with the infectious rhythms that will bring joy to your gatherings and create unforgettable memories.
 
We will introduce you to a diverse range of styles and a multitude of traditional sounds. We hope this festive season brings you joy, and the music adds to the festive feel for this Christmas. Happy Holidays!

Ah, new music featuring two artists carries a message for everyone. Understanding our role in life provides us with the "whole" we need to thrive on this sacred earth. We are merely a single component in the larger scheme of life, contributing to its significance. Today, Benjai and Yung Bredda sing a song that explains our role in the "whole." GusBus produced and mixed the song, while Kasey Phillips of Precision Productions expertly mastered it.
 
It is a beautiful thing to hear the voice of Benjai once again. Along with Yung Bredda, they both tell the story of life and what it takes to make it a whole and successful journey. Two incredible artists, two different sides of the same coin, delivering a meaningful message that should resonate well with the youth. 
 
We, at Sokah2Soca, firmly believe that this song merits airplay on radio, as it conveys a straightforward message that young people desperately need to hear in a society plagued by crime. Once more, this song conveys a straightforward yet profound message that we truly appreciate. Enjoy positive vibes and share a message of life, love, and freedom.
