A little history

Soca — the "soul of calypso" — was created in Trinidad in the 1970s by Lord Shorty, who blended calypso with East Indian rhythms. It is the soundtrack of Carnival, from Port of Spain to Notting Hill and Toronto, and every year the Road March title goes to the song played most on the streets on Carnival Tuesday. Caribbean radio, dancehall radio and reggae radio go further.
