Soca music comes early at the end of the year for the following year's carnival calendar, but we cannot ignore the festive music that makes the month of December so special. We are talking about Parang music and its sub-genres Soca Parang and Parang Soca (yes there is a difference). For this post, we feature a newly released Soca Parang song by Shurwayne Winchester. It is very good!
Shurwayne Winchester's new song "Christmas Fete" is a festive and upbeat Soca Parang track that is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. The song features a catchy melody, energetic rhythms, and Winchester's signature vocals.
The lyrics of the song celebrate the Christmas season and the tradition of feting, which is a popular Caribbean social event that involves dancing, drinking, and having fun. Winchester sings about the excitement of the holidays, the joy of spending time with loved ones, and the anticipation of the upcoming fete.
"Christmas Fete" is a great song to play at your next holiday party or gathering. It is sure to get everyone dancing and singing along. The song is also a great way to introduce people to the vibrant and exciting culture of soca music.

We are posting new music released for Trinidad and Tobago's upcoming carnival in 2024. However, we haven't and certainly will not do posts for every new song released. Having said that, we plan to add short notes about the songs for which we may or may not have done individual posts and sample the songs. This post will showcase three songs performed by Benjai, Coutain & Tano, and Rane Blackman. Our goal is simple, a short note about what the song is all about and the track for your listening pleasure.
As we enter the month of October, new Soca music for Trinidad & Tobago’s Carnival 2024 is being released on a daily basis via Julianspromos and other distribution sites online.
Here are three of the newly released Soca songs for Carnival 2024 in Trinidad and Tobago:
Origi by Benjai: This song is an anthem for all the couples out there who are unafraid to be vulnerable. It reminds us of the importance of true original love and connection.
Junction by Coutain & Tano: This song is about a couple who are trying to find their way back to each other after a misunderstanding. It has a fast tempo and an energetic vibe.
Action by Rane Blackman: This song is performed by Sherane ‘Rane’ Blackman and has a mellower vibe than some of the other soca releases for Carnival 2024, but it is still very danceable and enjoyable.

As of now, Soca music continues to be a vibrant and integral part of the culture and entertainment scene in Trinidad and Tobago. Soca, which stands for "soul of calypso," originated in the 1970s as a fusion of calypso and local East Indian musical elements. It has since evolved into a genre that encompasses various sub-genres and influences, including dancehall, reggae, hip-hop, funk, soul music, and electronic music.
Trinidad and Tobago is widely considered the birthplace and epicenter of Soca music, and it remains deeply rooted in the country's carnival celebrations. Soca's infectious beats, energetic rhythms, and catchy melodies make it a staple at parties, festivals, and other social gatherings throughout the year.
In recent years, Soca music has gained international recognition and popularity, with artists like Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin, Kes, Nailah Blackman and Patrice Roberts leading the way. These artists have successfully crossed over into mainstream markets and collaborated with international stars, bringing Soca to a wider audience.
The Soca industry has also seen a rise in the number of Soca artists, producers, and songwriters, as well as an increase in the production and consumption of Soca music. The emergence of digital platforms (especially Julianspromos) and social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube) has allowed artists to reach global audiences and connect with fans more easily.
Additionally, Soca has undergone various sub-genres and fusions, such as Power Soca, Groovy Soca, Chutney Soca, Jab Soca, Bouyon Soca, and Dennery Segment catering to different tastes and preferences. This diversity has contributed to the genre's continued growth and appeal.
Furthermore, Soca music plays a significant role in the country's carnival season, which culminates in the annual Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. This vibrant and colorful festival attracts tourists from around the world, who come to experience the infectious energy of Soca music, participate in masquerade bands, and witness the crowning of the Soca Monarch.
Despite its popularity, Soca music faces challenges in maintaining its authenticity and originality. Some argue that the genre has become too commercialized, with an emphasis on party anthems and catchy hooks rather than meaningful lyrics. However, there are still artists who strive to uphold the traditional elements of Soca while pushing boundaries and experimenting with new sounds (Kes the Band, Bunji Garlin, Machel Montano, and Voice good examples).
Overall, Soca music remains a dynamic and influential force in Trinidad and Tobago, continuing to evolve and captivate audiences both locally and internationally.
