Who is the King of Calypso? This is without question: The Mighty Sparrow is the undisputed Calypso King of the World! Born Slinger Francisco on July 9, 1935, he remains legendary for his vast and incredible contributions to the mother of Soca... Calypso!
Today we look back at his genius and present some of his memorable dance classics. Sparrow ruled the stage with his energetic performances and audience connection. During his career, he won the prestigious Road March title eight times, along with the Calypso Monarch title eight times.
He remains a beloved figure, capable of delivering his hits with the same mastery as he did in his youth. Despite his limited movement today, he still commands the room when he takes the microphone. His influence extends beyond Trinidad and Tobago, making him a global ambassador for the genre.
So, let's celebrate the talent of the greatest Calypsonian, the man who ruled Trinidad Carnival for decades and whose music will continue to be played at parties for decades to come. Enjoy some really excellent calypsos.

The finals of the Saint Kitts and Nevis Soca Monarch Competition took place this weekend in Basseterre, Saint Kitts. As is the case throughout the Caribbean region, the Soca Monarch competition is a premiere event. On December 14, 2024, both the Groovy and Power Soca competitions took place, with the results bringing joy and disappointment for many supporters of those competing for the coveted titles of Groovy and Power Soca Monarchs.
The atmosphere was electric, with fans cheering passionately for their favorite artists. As the night unfolded, the vibrant rhythms and captivating performances showcased the rich cultural heritage of the islands, leaving attendees eagerly anticipating the next year's competition.
In the end, the Groovy Soca title went to Ras Kelly, a fan favorite, and the Power Soca title went to AkaiiUSweet & Tobap, who performed even better with a commanding points victory. We extend our congratulations to all the participants and especially to the winners.

Disappointment Over Missing Audio Feed for Single Pan Bands Panorama Finals 2025

We are deeply disappointed to report that there was no audio broadcast online or in Trinidad and Tobago for the Single Pan Bands Panorama Finals 2025 at Queen's Park Savannah. While there was a Pay-Per-View (PPV) feed available from WACK Radio 90.1 FM/TV for US$15.00, this left many fans without access to the event.
Unfortunately, there was no audio feed locally or for listeners tuning in from abroad, leaving many fans feeling disconnected and frustrated as they missed out on the live experience..
For those who couldn't attend in person or afford the PPV fee, this meant missing out on the vibrant sounds and cultural experience that the Panorama Finals traditionally provide. It's a significant cultural void, as the audio feed has always been a staple alongside any PPV service.
We must ask: Who is responsible for this oversight? The absence of an accessible audio feed has left many fans feeling disconnected from an event that is a cornerstone of our cultural heritage. We applaud the efforts of WACK Radio 90.1/TV programming during the carnival period. We also understand that this is a costly endeavor, and maybe, just maybe, we are asking too much of those in charge of WACK Radio.
We anticipate prompt resolution of this issue to guarantee everyone's enjoyment and participation in future Panorama events. Let's keep the spirit of Pan alive and accessible for all!
While many have complained about television feeds during the carnival period, we understand their frustration. Buffering feeds and even outages have occurred at times. It is very disappointing that with such modern technology available, there is no national entity to provide quality and reliable service. It is understandable that such equipment is costly, but Trinidad & Tobago wants to promote carnival and make it a cash cow. Shouldn't the world get quality feeds to entice purchasing PPV feeds? What are your thoughts on this situation?

Once again, we present another remix from the highly talented DJs of Secret Society, Madness Muv, and Marcus Williams Roadmix. The mix sounds good, and we are confident that it should find a place on your Soca music playlist. This fresh version of "Mas Go Play" by Erphaan Alves adds 'color' to the music with exhilarating twists to the original version. The song feels refreshed and 'eady for the road.'
Erphaan Alves' music is known for its infectious vibes, and this remix elevates the song to a new level of excellence. It's the perfect vibe to anticipate your feting mode as you make plans for feting in Trinidad and Tobago for Carnival 2025.
While we appreciate the mix, your feedback is crucial. Listen, then share your feedback here on this blog and with your peers. The more people hear the music and get excited about the song, the more interest there will be, and that interest will ensure that the song gets the radio play it deserves. So stay tuned to Sokah2Soca for more interesting remixes, and always remember to keep the Soca vibes alive.
