Crop Over drops are on the way, and we’re excited to feature “Curse” by Sheri Dan, produced by Kyle “DJ Ky” Walcott and Daniel “Harv” Harvey.
This one dives straight into the heart of a captivating, almost spellbinding relationship. Written by Sheridan Archer (Sheri Dan), the song plays on the idea of attraction so strong it feels like a curse… or maybe even a little Caribbean magic at work. And in this region, you never know—mother cornhusk might just be involved! ?
Sultry, smooth, and made for Groove Soca lovers, “Curse” brings that undeniable energy for Crop Over 2026. The lyrics highlight control, chemistry, and that magnetic pull between two people that words alone can’t explain—only rhythm can. Sheri Dan whispering in her victim's ears is intriguing indeed; it’s all about vibes, emotion, and movement. That waistline energy takes over as Sheri Dan leans into the groove, inviting listeners to feel every beat and live in the moment. And then comes the hook—a playful but telling reminder of a familiar Caribbean theme:
that irresistible charm, that undeniable pull… the kind that leaves you hooked under a “curse.”
? Our take:
We like this song… actually, we love it. Groove Soca is in full effect here, and Sheri Dan delivers a vibe that leaves you wanting more—more energy, more sweetness, more of that captivating tone. But here’s the thing… 2:13? Nah man… too short! Producers, we need to have a talk—when the vibe is hitting so nice, you can’t cut it short! Give us more!

Sokah2Soca proudly presents a throwback Bouyon mixtape that pays tribute to Dominica’s foundational sound—curated and mixed by the one and only DJ Easy. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a cultural reintroduction.
Bouyon music, born in Dominica, has long been a staple in the Greater Antilles and the French Caribbean, where partygoers know how to move to its infectious rhythms. But in the English-speaking islands—especially those dominated by soca—bouyon remains underplayed and underappreciated.
That’s where Sokah2Soca steps in. Our goal, here at Sokah2Soca, is simple: to amplify Bouyon’s legacy and get it spinning across the region. It is up to us, radio stations and DJs, especially in Trinidad and Tobago, to give Bouyon the airtime it deserves. The energy is undeniable, the vibe is electric, and the culture is rich.
This mix is your gateway. Press play, feel the pulse, and let Bouyon rise again.

It's hump day, and as we get closer to the weekend, we've decided to take you back to a time when the pulse of Caribbean music was electrifying, infectious, and absolutely unforgettable. This mix celebrates the legendary era when Alison Hinds, the unmistakable voice of Square One Band, reigned across the diaspora as the undisputed Queen of Soca.
The songs featured here come from a period when Soca had a distinct flavor—raw, rhythmic, joyful, and full of life. The music was different, but it was excellent. And the best part is that it still sounds incredible today.
This mix shows how powerful and timeless this music is, whether you grew up with it or are hearing it for the first time. For some, it will spark memories; for others, it will be a discovery. Either way, the energy is undeniable.
We’re pleased to present this special throwback selection, curated and mixed by DJ OC, as a tribute to the artists, the era, and the culture that shaped so much of the Soca we love.
Enjoy the vibes. Enjoy the memories. Enjoy the music.

Trinidad’s Carnival rolled in with one of those short seasons for 2026, and, as expected, many of the big road songs dropped late. Still, a few well‑known artists managed to dominate the airwaves. With strong promotion and the right radio connections, their tracks quickly became the go-to favorites for Road March. As the band parade drew near, three songs stood out prominently: “Encore,” “Cyar Behave Mehself,” and "Still a Road Man.” And when the results were announced, those same three locked down the top spots.
So why are we here today? Simple. We want to highlight a road mix you may have completely missed—mainly because radio stations didn’t give it the love it deserved. The song in question, “Rum and Coca Cola” by Kes, was never considered a road march contender by some because it falls squarely into the groove soca lane. The argument goes, "Groove can’t win Road March. A road mix won’t change that.” But is that really true?
One would think that a true road song should be sweet, infectious, and capable of capturing the imagination of masqueraders. That should be the formula. Regardless of BPM, the vibe and the energy a song brings to the road should matter more than speed or the traditional “Power Soca energy.” That’s exactly why we believe Voice’s “Cyar Behave Mehself” is the real Road March of Trinidad Carnival 2026. And of course, we congratulate Machel Montano’s “Encore” for securing the official Stage March title.
Now, back to regular programming. Kes’ “Rum and Coca-Cola" may not have reached the popularity of “Cyar Behave,” but it absolutely deserves an honorable mention. We’re featuring it here because many of you may have missed the Road Mix entirely. Take a listen and appreciate the vibe, the creativity, and the production brilliance behind it. The mix was crafted by D Ninja and Madness MUV Productions.
So press play, relax, and take in the vibes. And if the rhythm grabs you, feel free to get up and do your thing.
