Soca

Soca is a vibrant music genre originating from Trinidad and Tobago in the early 1970s. It combines calypso rhythms with energetic beats, often featuring lively percussion, guitar, and brass instruments. Soca is designed to be upbeat and danceable, commonly associated with Caribbean festivals like Carnival. The style is characterized by its infectious rhythms and catchy melodies that encourage movement and celebration. Over time, soca has evolved, incorporating elements from pop, dance, and hip-hop, making it a dynamic genre that epitomizes Caribbean cultural expression and festive spirit.
