The president of Trinidad and Tobago hosted this unforgettable Christmas celebration that fused musical brilliance with national pride—the evening belonged to the national instrument, the steelpan! The evening honored the soul of Trinidad and Tobago through the artistry of steelpan legends Dr. Ray Holman, Dr. Len “Boogsie” Sharpe, and Ms. Natasha Joseph, whose performances embodied the spirit of the nation. Guiding the soundscape was musical maestro Dr. Pelham Goddard and his band, weaving an exquisite web of rhythm and harmony. Together, they created a regal showcase of heritage, innovation, and festive joy—an ode to the enduring heartbeat of the steelpan.

Touching a classic is never simple. In fact, it’s risky business. When you step into the shadow of a giant like Black Stalin, you’re not just singing a song—you’re carrying the weight of history, memory, and cultural pride. If you flop, your reputation could take a hit. Fail outright, and it could even derail your career. But we can happily report that Swappi and Madman Johann made Stalin smile from the beyond. Why? Simply put, this remake of "Black Man Feeling to Party" is pure Carnival energy.
Kudos to the production team for a job well done. Today, we honor Marvin Davis, the real Swappi, and Johann Seaton, of Madmen Productions, because they truly succeeded. Their remake of “Black Man Feeling to Party” is nothing short of marvelous.
From the beginning, Swappi's vocals were relaxed, and one could feel Stalin’s spirit woven into Swappi’s delivery. He was amazingly composed, relaxed, and confident, channeling the vibe of the original while adding his own Swappi flair. It’s a performance that feels blessed by Patsy Calliste, Stalin’s widow, and one that honors the legacy without trying to overshadow it.
Johann Seaton’s production work ensures the track balances reverence with freshness. The arrangement respects the timeless groove of the original, arranged by Errol Ince back in 1991, while giving it the sonic polish needed to resonate with today’s audience. Together, Swappi and Johann have created a remake that feels both respectful and exciting and celebrates a Calypso legend. It is a true tribute to one of calypso’s greatest voices.
We were so happy to write this post because I loved it from the first time I heard it. To be honest, classic songs live on not only in our memories but also through bold new versions that keep the music alive for new generations. And this one? We really like it.

Are you the type of person who loves to categorize Caribbean music? If you enjoy categorizing Caribbean music, we have a song that presents a conundrum. This question is not a riddle, but it is all about vibes. Today we present a song by 3 Canal on the Black Mud Riddim (album), produced by Stemz. Don't get me wrong, Julianspromos is promoting the Riddim as Soca, but this 3 Canal song is a toss-up. It is a vibrant song that will undoubtedly rock any Caribbean J'ouvert. The song is titled "No War," and I want you, fans of Caribbean music, to say if it is Calypso, Soca, CalypSoca or just a wicked J'ouvert vibe.
This track pulses with Carnival energy while carrying the weight of social commentary—reminding the powers that be that we don't want 'No War' in the Caribbean. Riding Stemz’s Black Mud Riddim, the song is officially catalogued as Soca 2026, yet its lyrical DNA leans heavily into Calypso’s protest tradition. Just keep in mind that 3 Canal is known for their Rapso style and social commentary; with this song, as Dev would put it, they are the "Kings ah de J'Ouvert!"
As a matter of where this song fits in our cultural landscape and especially genre-specific, their unique style of delivery makes this song stand out from the other songs on the "Black Mud Riddim." Maybe it would have been a fitting release for Spicemas! 3 Canal is on fire with this song, known for blending rapso—spoken word with calypso rhythm and a touch of Soca drums. This fusion makes “No War” more than just a party anthem; it’s a call for unity and reflection, wrapped in the percussive drive of Soca. The riddim itself is Soca, but it fits J’ouvert perfectly and the delivery reminds us of Calypso’s enduring role as the conscience of Carnival.
With “No War,” 3 Canal proves once again that the steelpan, the drum, and the voice of protest can coexist on the road, igniting revelry while reminding us of deeper truths.

Soca powerhouse Lyrikal delivers fresh energy with his latest track, “Break Record,” riding the vibrant Lights Riddim. Lyro has consistently delivered excellent music, and together with the production team, consisting of Cool It Productions, Kernal Roberts, and Azikiwe Keller, he has another weapon for stage appearances for Trinidad's 2026 Carnival.
The song, featuring Lyrikal's signature vocals and executive produced by Ryan Shing Hon, is a celebration of Carnival’s heartbeat. Written by Kernal Roberts and Devon Martin, the lyrics capture the passion, unity, and joy of people coming together as “one family.”
“Break Record” is all about readiness for the road, embracing the music, and reveling in the festivities. Lyrikal encourages fans to fete in numbers, set new records for positive vibes, and immerse themselves in the Carnival spirit. As he declares in the track, “yuh cyar get enough of me.”
We love the vibe, the message, and Lyrikal’s unmistakable vocal style. This one is highly recommended by the Sokah2Soca crew—a true anthem for the season.
