Chuck Gordon always delivers excellent music every year; appreciation for his excellence is not always a priority for Soca music fans. His songs in the Calypso realm are also on point and delivered with the same excellence. Today we present his offering for Carnival 2024. The song is entitled "D'Panyard where he takes us on a musical journey as it relates to events at the Panyard. This one is a little different, presented with a musical twist that they call "Soca/Jiggy Calypso". We think you will love this musical offering. Enjoy.
 
You know Carnival is around the corner when you start hearing the sweet strains of stick-on steel at the Panyard. The masses follow the drums to the yards to support their favorite sides, or just engage in our most treasured pastime, Liming. There's something about the rootsy, organic 'pong-piting-pong' that can't be denied.
 
The Panyard is an economic zone, an education plant, and a breeding ground for community and culture. It is a safe space and an institution. In 2024 and beyond when that pied pan piper calls, it will be hard not to come for d pong at D’Panyard.

The Titivay riddim is a new soca riddim that was released in 2023 by producer Xplicit Mevon. It is a high-energy, uptempo riddim with a catchy melody and infectious rhythm. Patrice Roberts and Farmer Nappy will garner early attention but don't sleep on the songs by Sekon Sta and Rome!
 
This riddim will quickly become popular on radio and a favorite of many radio DJs. This, we expect to start overseas first before being picked up by the local radio stations in Trinidad and Tobago. This is a sad state of affairs but a fact that the locals take longer to identify and promote the songs that would become carnival hits. 
  • Meet We Down Dey by Patrice Roberts
  • HYMC by Sekon Sta
  • Livin' Meh Life by Farmer Nappy
  • Rum, Gyal & Money by Rome
The Titivay riddim is sure to be one of the most popular Soca riddims of 2024, and it is sure to get people dancing all over the world. It is a great example of the diversity and innovation of Soca music. It is a fresh new sound that is sure to appeal to fans of all genres of music.

Yes, Mical Teja & Tano, this is a magical song; indeed, freedom is in our DNA! Yup, Mical is correct. Carnival does bring an ocean of love with the energy of the people, delivering endless vibes and creative expressions. This song is destined to become a Carnival anthem... watch this one, it will put a tear in the eyes of those yearning for home.
 
Mical Teja continues to impress. This song is a Soca track with a catchy melody and upbeat tempo, just right for the upcoming festival. The lyrics are about self-love, acceptance, and sharing good times with friends. Mical brings the song to life with an insight into who we are as a creative force; the music video features Mical Teja dancing and having fun with his friends.
 
There is no doubt that, like "Hall of Fame", "DNA" will be well received by fans and critics alike, with many praising its positive message and catchy melody. It is sure to be a hit on the Soca music charts in the coming months.
 
Now, while we credit the production and the excellent lyrical content, we must share the stage with the video production team. Well done! This music video depicts who we are as a people and shines a light on our beautiful culture. So if you feel like "you could in town again", do it with Mical Teja and Tano. I really enjoyed listening to this song. I love it a bunch!
