Our feature post today brings the culture of Japan and the Caribbean together and in focus. Ann G. (Angella Giustini), a J-Pop singer from Japan who adores Trinidadian culture and frequently visits Trindad to immerse herself in our carnival culture, collaborates with Lyrikal (Devon Martin) as the lead vocalists on this musical release, "Oideyo."
"Oideyo" is Japanese for "Come On." This song, "Oideyo," delves deeper, as the production team of Dj Private Ryan and Jus Now blended the cultures of Japan and Trinidad & Tobago to inspire the Japanese populace to 'come on over to the Caribbean region' to experience and appreciate Caribbean culture. After all, West Indian-style carnivals are becoming increasingly popular in Japan, with their festival/carnival emulating those of Trinidad and Tobago. It is only now that Japanese singers and artists can start producing their own unique Soca music.
Today is a start. On this special music release, LAZAbeam (Keshav Chandradath Singh of Jus Now fame) and DJ Private Ryan feature Ann G and Lyrikal's vocals. “Oideyo” is a high-energy track that seamlessly blends the infectious beats of Soca with traditional Japanese instruments, creating a sound that’s both fresh and familiar. Ann G’s captivating vocals and Lyrikal’s dynamic performance make this song a must-listen.
This song is a joy to listen to. The music production by Jus Now and DJ Private Ryan will surprise many and set a fire for more collaborations with foreign artists. LAZAbeam’s expertise in incorporating Japanese instruments into the Soca framework adds a distinctive touch that sets “Oideyo” apart from other tracks. After listening to the song, please share your feedback on the artists pages (YouTube is a start). So, tell us, what do you think of this unique song?

Motto, based in Saint Lucia, is a fascinating artist/music producer. When you hear his voice in this song, you know who the singer is! His distinct sound and vocal style are inimitable. However, he is not just a Soca artist; with Dennery Segment and Konpa/Kompa music serving as the lifeblood of the island of Saint Lucia, he creates music that stands out significantly from the rest of the Caribbean Soca music industry. Motto's music is sweet and infectious; everything sounds appealing and is light on the waistlines. Today, we feature a new music release from this talented artist titled "Wah We Go Do" for carnivals in 2025.
We know and understand that you love Soca and listen to 'other vibes' from the region. Well, if you favor Haitian/Lucian Kompa music, you will definitely love this song. This song combines a Soca vibe with a Kompa vibe, creating a unique groove feel. They rightly labeled it Groove Soca Kompa! This vibrant blend of Caribbean musical styles is the signature release on "Sweetie Riddim," produced by Teamfoxx and Dt Keyz production companies.
The real story here revolves around the perennial carnival problem of "yuh eye too damn long." The story revolves around a man and a woman, both of whom are in committed relationships and are unable to separate from each other. "Wah We Go Do" refers to the question of 'what should we do' when it comes to cheating and keeping it quiet. Don't we have enough problems already? As the story unfolds, listen to the song; perhaps, just perhaps, you hold the key to resolving this challenging situation.
This song brings both worlds into focus, while Kompa music delivers sensual dancing, making the combination of Soca and Kompa a fascinating one. It would be interesting to witness the dance moves that this Groove Soca Kompa music style will deliver. We applaud this music production and can't wait for more fusion music from across the Caribbean basin. So, what are you waiting for? Press play, pump up the volume, and enjoy your musical culture.

Soca music is the lifeblood of West Indian-styled carnivals, wherever they take place in the world. The anticipated deluge of new music has not taken place as expected. Despite this, new songs are being released gradually. Some of the songs are from unknowns, not the seasoned veterans that we are accustomed to hearing. Today, we feature a song by an upcoming artist who has consistently released good music. The song brings infectious rhythms that dig deep into the vibe of Trinidad's carnival culture. This is "Always" by Kerlz.
As previously mentioned, "Always" boasts a catchy soundtrack that has the potential to influence the road culture of Trinidad's masquerade party. West Indian carnivals are more than just a parade; they are a celebration of dance, showcasing gyrating waistlines and midsections that could raise eyebrows among puritans. This song will release the waistlines and celebrate gyrating midsections.
Kerlz's spirited vocals, carnival-centered lyrics, and excellent music production from the very talented production house Smilus Productions bring the vibe that carnival lovers will appreciate. Therefore, as you embark on your musical journey for Carnival 2025, simply tune the volume and vibe to "Always" regardless of your location or activity. We think you will appreciate this vibe enough to share this post with your social media peers. Always appreciate and enjoy good music—this is the vibe and vision embodied in the production of "Always" by the artist and music production team.

This new Chutney Soca song will have fans in Suriname, Guyana, Toronto, and Trinidad & Tobago grooving to the vibe of this excellent music release for Carnivals in 2025. The artist KeiPalo's song "Lote Bougie" has already garnered attention on the internet. The music, a blend of Chutney and Soca vibes, brings the essence of Chutney and Soca to fans who love listening to Indian instrumentation done as only the Caribbean can bring it. The song showcases KeiPalo's distinctive singing style, which resembles that of a traditional Soca singer with a twist of Chutney-style vocals.
The infectious vibe of this song will have you dancing from the first beat. The music production takes you on a vibes journey, as only Rishi Gayadeen along with Nikhola Green can do, ensuring that the sweet vibe of both cultures (Soca and Chutney) captures not just the East Indian community but anyone who loves Caribbean music and culture.
We approve of this music release and believe that this is one of the songs that you will hear played by traditional Soca music DJs for parties and upcoming fetes. We think this is one of the songs that you should add to your carnival playlist to bring the magic of KeiPalo's Chutney Soca style to your everyday listening. So, what are you waiting for? Press play and enjoy, and don't forget to share this post with your social media peers. Enjoy!
