Soca frequently overshadowed and overlooked calypsos during the recent Trinidad and Tobago carnival. Media houses, with the exception of WACK Visual Radio, have largely neglected Calypso music, unlike the attention it receives in Saint Lucia. Calypso is thriving in Saint Lucia, and Sokah2Soca is ensuring that it receives the spotlight it deserves!
Calypso enthusiasts will appreciate this post, as we anticipate listing 100 performances in the YouTube music player. When you listen to these songs, you'll have the chance to laugh a bit while thoroughly enjoying Saint Lucian Calypso. This music embodies rhythm, wit, and storytelling, and the latest YouTube playlist is a testament to its growing energy. Featuring 89 performances (with more being added daily!), the voices of Saint Lucia’s calypso artists are resonating loud and clear. Some of the artists on the player include Delicious B, Dragon, Kcey, Lil Richie, Selena, Super D, Ashe and many more.
With 89 songs and performances already posted, you will hear tracks that deliver social commentary set to infectious melodies. We are not just about soca and steelband music; we continuously support and promote calypso that is available for posting. Not all the artists have their songs promoted on YouTube or send MP3 files for posting. We continue to highlight available music.
We encourage all fans of calypso music to bookmark this post and return daily for new calypso performances added by the promoters of this YouTube player. After all, the phrase "Long Live Calypso" will only have meaning if we hear the music!
We will continue to promote Calypso music alongside Soca. Calypso needs a home where people can go and play the songs "on demand." We want to be the portal where people can come not only for soca but also for sweet calypso music from across the Caribbean basin. This post, while highlighting Saint Lucian calypso, continues that tradition and adds to our mixes of Trinidadian calypso music. If you want your song featured, please contact us, and we will facilitate your desire to be heard. We will ensure that the vibrant rhythms and storytelling traditions of calypso continue to resonate in today's music landscape.

Mighty Duke’s “Woop Wap Man”: A Calypso Classic That Calls Out Bedroom Braggarts

This song is special; it is exceptional; it is hilarious; and most of all, the delivery of the song is what captivated the audience so lucky to be there to take it all in. Kenny and I decided that this is one song that the people have to hear. Those who love humor, excellent storytelling, and sweet music will appreciate this song in its entirety. Calypso music excels at narrating stories with a sharp wit and a rhythm that evokes a desire to dance. Kenny advised, "You have to do a post for this one." I agreed, and when it came to storytelling, Kelvin Pope, better known as Mighty Duke, was a master. His 1964 hit “Woop Wap Man” is a perfect example of his ability to mix humor, social commentary, and infectious melody into one unforgettable tune.
The Mighty Duke: A Calypso Legend
Before we dive into the song, let’s talk about the man behind it. Mighty Duke was a towering figure in the world of calypso, known for his smooth delivery and clever lyrics. He wasn’t just about making people laugh—his songs often tackled serious topics like black consciousness, apartheid, and global politics. However, he also had a talent for satirizing everyday life, a skill he demonstrated in his song "Woop Wap Man." You can find his music catalog on Discogs by clicking this link: Discogs/Kelvin Pope/Mighty Duke
The Song: A Hilarious Reality Check
“Woop Wap Man” is a playful jab at men who love to boast about their prowess in the bedroom, but this song is about a brash Trini who did not give a damn about his partner but only about his personal satisfaction... a "Woop Wap Man!" To put it bluntly, to say it in a crass manner: If you are coming now, you will have to come when I come again!" Don't be a hater; just use your imagination and put meaning to the statement. You are familiar with the type of men who flaunt their status as the ultimate lovers, champions of romance, and undisputed kings of seduction. But Mighty Duke, with his signature wit, flips the script and delivers the truth that many women would happily confirm: these self-proclaimed bedroom champions often fall hilariously short of their hype.
With a catchy rhythm and Duke’s smooth vocals ( his voice was sweet like sugarcane), the song paints a picture of men who talk a big game but fail to deliver when it really matters. However, this man in our story did not give a damn... "Woop wap, and he is over with it!" Duke's playful lyrics emphasize that the bravado doesn't fool women, a classic case of "all bark, no bite."
Why “Woop Wap Man” Still Resonates
Despite the song's 1964 release, its message remains timeless. Duke's humorous interpretation of the age-old concept of men exaggerating their romantic abilities remains relevant today. His ability to blend comedy with sharp social observations is what made him such a beloved calypsonian.
Beyond the humor, “Woop Wap Man” is also a testament to the storytelling power of calypso music. Yes, storytelling was so good that today's songs are like kindergarten material compared to past work of these calypso greats. It’s a genre that thrives on clever wordplay, infectious rhythms, and a deep connection to everyday life. Mighty Duke understood these qualities better than most, and his legacy as a calypso king remains strong.
Final Thoughts
Mighty Duke’s “Woop Wap Man” is more than just a humorous song—it’s a brilliant piece of musical satire that calls out the gap between talk and action. Whether you’re a longtime calypso fan or just discovering the genre, this song is a must-listen. So next time you hear someone bragging a little too much, just remember Mighty Duke’s wise words—and maybe hum a little “Woop Wap” to yourself.
