Motto, based in Saint Lucia, is a fascinating artist/music producer. When you hear his voice in this song, you know who the singer is! His distinct sound and vocal style are inimitable. However, he is not just a Soca artist; with Dennery Segment and Konpa/Kompa music serving as the lifeblood of the island of Saint Lucia, he creates music that stands out significantly from the rest of the Caribbean Soca music industry. Motto's music is sweet and infectious; everything sounds appealing and is light on the waistlines. Today, we feature a new music release from this talented artist titled "Wah We Go Do" for carnivals in 2025.
We know and understand that you love Soca and listen to 'other vibes' from the region. Well, if you favor Haitian/Lucian Kompa music, you will definitely love this song. This song combines a Soca vibe with a Kompa vibe, creating a unique groove feel. They rightly labeled it Groove Soca Kompa! This vibrant blend of Caribbean musical styles is the signature release on "Sweetie Riddim," produced by Teamfoxx and Dt Keyz production companies.
The real story here revolves around the perennial carnival problem of "yuh eye too damn long." The story revolves around a man and a woman, both of whom are in committed relationships and are unable to separate from each other. "Wah We Go Do" refers to the question of 'what should we do' when it comes to cheating and keeping it quiet. Don't we have enough problems already? As the story unfolds, listen to the song; perhaps, just perhaps, you hold the key to resolving this challenging situation.
This song brings both worlds into focus, while Kompa music delivers sensual dancing, making the combination of Soca and Kompa a fascinating one. It would be interesting to witness the dance moves that this Groove Soca Kompa music style will deliver. We applaud this music production and can't wait for more fusion music from across the Caribbean basin. So, what are you waiting for? Press play, pump up the volume, and enjoy your musical culture.

Soca music is the lifeblood of West Indian-styled carnivals, wherever they take place in the world. The anticipated deluge of new music has not taken place as expected. Despite this, new songs are being released gradually. Some of the songs are from unknowns, not the seasoned veterans that we are accustomed to hearing. Today, we feature a song by an upcoming artist who has consistently released good music. The song brings infectious rhythms that dig deep into the vibe of Trinidad's carnival culture. This is "Always" by Kerlz.
As previously mentioned, "Always" boasts a catchy soundtrack that has the potential to influence the road culture of Trinidad's masquerade party. West Indian carnivals are more than just a parade; they are a celebration of dance, showcasing gyrating waistlines and midsections that could raise eyebrows among puritans. This song will release the waistlines and celebrate gyrating midsections.
Kerlz's spirited vocals, carnival-centered lyrics, and excellent music production from the very talented production house Smilus Productions bring the vibe that carnival lovers will appreciate. Therefore, as you embark on your musical journey for Carnival 2025, simply tune the volume and vibe to "Always" regardless of your location or activity. We think you will appreciate this vibe enough to share this post with your social media peers. Always appreciate and enjoy good music—this is the vibe and vision embodied in the production of "Always" by the artist and music production team.

This new Chutney Soca song will have fans in Suriname, Guyana, Toronto, and Trinidad & Tobago grooving to the vibe of this excellent music release for Carnivals in 2025. The artist KeiPalo's song "Lote Bougie" has already garnered attention on the internet. The music, a blend of Chutney and Soca vibes, brings the essence of Chutney and Soca to fans who love listening to Indian instrumentation done as only the Caribbean can bring it. The song showcases KeiPalo's distinctive singing style, which resembles that of a traditional Soca singer with a twist of Chutney-style vocals.
The infectious vibe of this song will have you dancing from the first beat. The music production takes you on a vibes journey, as only Rishi Gayadeen along with Nikhola Green can do, ensuring that the sweet vibe of both cultures (Soca and Chutney) captures not just the East Indian community but anyone who loves Caribbean music and culture.
We approve of this music release and believe that this is one of the songs that you will hear played by traditional Soca music DJs for parties and upcoming fetes. We think this is one of the songs that you should add to your carnival playlist to bring the magic of KeiPalo's Chutney Soca style to your everyday listening. So, what are you waiting for? Press play and enjoy, and don't forget to share this post with your social media peers. Enjoy!

Growing up in Trinidad in the 60s and 70s was the absolute best time of my life. We gained knowledge about Douens and La Diablesse, and grew up in a time when oil sand covered the roads, people relied on standpipes for water and street bathing, and not all homes had electricity. The radios were equipped with tubes and transistors, and the TV broadcasts were in black and white. Stories were told to frighten children, and rumors were true; just ask your mother or grandmother, and they will reveal that a woman would emerge from a streaking ball of fire and suck your blood from your leg. Then there was the Obeah man!
Today's story is all about the Obeah Man. The Obeah Man was the one who taught women that eating "sweat rice" (stooping over steaming rice and letting the condensation fall back in the rice) could bind their men and maintain their subservience. The Obeah Man also provided a recipe for "left-hand" dumplings and ganga chana, known 'as man control', but in truth is just a false sense of control over their men. Having said that, we must talk about the nastiest of the rituals, "Caca jab." How did we get here? Well, my sidekick at work is a younger Trini female. She said to me, "You need to get an air freshener for the office waiting room; it smells!" I responded that it smells like "Caca jab"! She was confused and asked, "What are you talking about? What the hell is 'Caca jab'?" OMG, another bootleg Trini was my response. I told her to Facetime her mother in Trinidad and get the answer! Another bootleg, Trini!
Sheesh!
I was determined to uncover the truth behind this. Gailos, aka Paramin Gail, is my 'go-to' person in terms of our old school culture. When I called Gailos, she responded, "Nanda, that's Patois," which is our Creole dialect, and she provided an insightful explanation. She explained, Jab is the devil, and caca is poop, aka shit! Yes, we can conclude that cacajab is just plain proverbial "devil-shit"! She explained that people who believe in Obeah used cacajab to solve their problems (I will explain). Some old-school thinkers held the belief that one could use spells and devious means to drive out evil and even gain favor in various endeavors. Gailos also mentioned that Sparrow, the world's greatest calypsonian, sung a calypso that made reference to 'Caca jab'. She could not recall the name of the calypso, and we ended the conversation. At this point, I called Kenny Phillips, renowned music producer of KMP Music fame and CEO of WACK. To tell you the truth, Sprangalang would have been disappointed with Kenny; he failed miserably. He had no clue!
Alas, Gail called back and told me that the name of the calypso is "Witch Doctor," sung by Sparrow. She sent me the link, but I was already familiar with the song and, like most people, could sing a few lines without paying attention to the story or the song's overall content. The Witch Doctor tells the story of the Obeah Man and the things he can do! Yes, this classic calypso does mention "cacajab." We have it recorded in song, providing a reprieve for all the doubters!
In this verse Sparrow reveals Papa Bois' formula to punish those who do you wrong. This is where we learn a little bit about Caca Jab. In the song Sparrow sings:
The fire blazing and the water hot
Oh Lord it is time to put something in the pot
Two yellow candle and a rusty key
Cacajab in a pint a pee"
You really need to listen to the song to get the calypso truth on this topic. The witch doctor will open the door to our rich cultural identity that only real, not bootleg, Trinis will appreciate.
You might wonder, "What's the purpose of this? Why is Caca jab used?" Well, I believe this is all nonsensical! This is literally just nasty stuff and just maybe the reason it may ward off offending persons. Not because of some unknow power but because it just stinks! You can deceive vulnerable people into thinking this stuff truly works. Even if the remedy fails, their foolish pride will make them praise it. The truth is that the Obeah Man exploited their gullibility and weak minds to maintain his reign. Similar to Charlatan pastors and priests who indulge in a lavish lifestyle, the Obeah Man serves not only for a small remittance but also for the fame and glory of the village demi-god. Just keep in mind that your confidence in yourself is all that matters. No sweat rice', 'left-hand dumplins', or cacajab will solve your problems. Find your self-worth, speak confidently and with purpose, and let your truth shine brightly! If you don't succeed, it's not meant to be. Just do the right thing.
So, there you have it, Sokah2Soca to the rescue and keeper of our culture. If we managed to put a smile on your face, then, our story fulfilled its purpose. Keep our culture alive; share this post with your social media peers. Thanks for reading.
