Soca music originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1970s. It is a blend of various musical genres, including calypso, soul, funk, and Latin music. The word “soca” is derived from “soul calypso,” which was the original name of the genre. Soca music became popular during the Carnival season in Trinidad and Tobago and eventually spread to other Caribbean countries and beyond. The music is characterized by its high-energy beats, fast tempo, and catchy lyrics. It is often played at parties, festivals, and other events, and has become an important part of Caribbean culture. Today, soca music continues to evolve and inspire new generations of artists and fans.
