Now playing

There are so many newly released Soca songs released daily, and keeping up with each island's music releases is not easy. Knowing what is released is not difficult. However, doing the posts here at Sokah2Soca means we won't be able to stay up-to-date with daily releases. We don't simply post the songs; we provide as much information as we can for you, our followers. DJ music mixes help us keep track of releases and provide a snapshot of each nation's current music trends and releases. 
 
We provided a mixtape of the early Vincy Mas Soca music releases, and today we drop a Grenada Soca mixtape to fill that music gap. Please share the mixtape with your peers. We will surely provide more mixtapes as music volume grows. If you like this mixtape, hit up DJ Young Hat and compliment him on his YouTube channel.

Nutrien Silver Stars Steel Orchestra © Nutrien Silver Stars/Pan Trinibago.

We continue with the Pan in the 21st Century preliminary competition round. The featured band today is the Nutrien Silver Stars Steel Orchestra, playing "Leave the Door Open" by Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, and Silk Sonic.  
 
Nutrien Silver Stars, founded in the 1950s, is a large conventional band headquartered in Newtown, Port-of-Spain. They won the national large conventional panorama competition in 2009 and 2010. Their pans are well tuned, and the musical arrangement for this song was well executed. We really liked this performance. Tell us what you think.

Like fine wine, Alison Hinds ages well! No, we are not talking about her numerical age; her voice is ageless! "Fine Wine" is a collaboration with "Black Man Chant" Productions. Alison Hinds is back and showing the young Soca puppies how to do Soca right. 
 
Our goal today is to inform you if you are unaware.  Alison Hinds, like Biggie Irie, was born in London, England. Alison moved to Barbados at age 10 and began her music career in the 1990s with Square One. She has been a force in the music industry since starting her solo career in 2004. 
 
It feels like Alison is remaking herself and demanding the attention she deserves as the Queen of Soca. She has her work cut out with Patrice Roberts and Nailah Blackman ruling the Caribbean and North American Caribbean communities. 
 
Her original song for Crop Over 2023 is fantastic. We believe that "Fine Wine" will continue to climb the charts and garner a major following and hits on YouTube if promoted properly. Alison is a polished performer, and with her energetic performances and this catchy song, she will rise to the top again. 
 
We wish her well and success. However, because she is a talented singer and a powerful force for good in the Caribbean community, her road to success is "paved with Soca Gold Greatness"! She is a role model for young people, and her music inspires people all over the world. Enjoy some sweet Bashment Soca music!

Pan in the 21st century continues with more scintillating performances. Today, we present Supernova's Steel Orchestra playing "Grenade" by Bruno Mars. The arrangement was done by Amrit Samaroo, who is also the band leader. 
 
It appears that Bruno Mars and Silk Sonic selections are the 'pick of the crop' for most of the bands in the preliminary round of competition. We have also included Bruno Mars' performance for those who don't know the song (where have you been lately?).
 
Supernovas Steel Orchestra is a steel band from Surrey Village, Lopinot, Trinidad and Tobago. It was founded in 2010 by members of the community, including Amrit Samaroo, son of pan legend Jit Samaroo. The band has quickly become one of the most successful steel bands in Trinidad and Tobago, winning the Small Band Category of the National Panorama in 2014.
 
Supernovas is a vibrant and dynamic steel band that is making a positive impact on the community and the world of music. The band is a testament to the power of music to bring people together and inspire creativity.
