What is a tropical island without music and entertainment? Moreover, what better way to enjoy your much-awaited holiday than to dance the night away to the tantalising rhythms of Soca and Calypso music?
Calypso music, which is said to have originated as a genus of Caribbean folk music, has evolved to enamour the likes of other genres of music, favouring the likes of Soul and Calypso to make Soca. Entwining rhythmic beats to create soothing dance music, the Caribbeans have found the recipe for festivities in Soca.
One of the most popular soca songs is the Game of Love and Unity which was the 2008 West Indies World Cup theme and sung by international stars such as Shaggy, Rupee and Fey-Ann. With rising popularity around the globe, the music of Soca has become of the favoured dance genres.
