Now here is a cool song. It is titled "Go Hard" by Bunji Garlin from the Island Bae Riddim. This new song is a production of PantaSon Music Production Limited / IamWav Music / Cannabis Wiki Inc. I am surprised that this one got passed by me! This song was released April, 2023. But wait, don't get confused, this is not Go Hard from 2012 a song produced by Precision Productions. Despite the same name, the new son is totally different from the old one. It is not as energetic as the song with the same name from 2012. I guess they wanted something fresh to follow up Bunji's 2023 Road March song "Hard Fete". This original song has a very melodic laid back vibe and should provide a sweet groove for a sensual slow wine. 

 
"Go Hard" is an anthem that encourages listeners to let loose, embrace the moment, and live life to the fullest. The song's positive and uplifting message captures Soca music's spirit, making it an instant mood booster. It is an appropriate addition to any party playlist. It should be noted that with its infectious rhythm, powerful vocals, and uplifting lyrics, this song is guaranteed to get you on your feet. It is guaranteed to bring Caribbean vibes wherever you are. Whether you're a long-time soca fan or a newbie to the genre, "Go Hard" is a must-listen track that showcases the sheer joy and exuberance that Soca music has to offer.

It is Friday and guess what, it is sunny in New York City with an expected high temperature of 88 degrees! Yes, even the weather is cooperating and that means people will be heading out with friends or just chillin and enjoying the weather listening to some excellent Soca music. Right there I got the idea for this post... to deliver a post that features some sweet Soca vibes. 

What should I post? A mixtape of some of the most popular Soca songs, an old school Soca mix, chart toppers or just the music of a selected artist... what should I do? I decided to pick a mixtape that featured a main artist/singer with featured singers/producers on his or her songs. I found a really enjoyable one... Patrice Roberts with some of your favorite singers. The mix is by ScottchBonnet with songs by Patrice Roberts featuring Lyrikal, Afro B, Nessa Preppy, Travis World. 
 
ScottchBonnet is a son of the soil, born in Trinidad, and with his exceptional skills, distinct style, and unwavering passion, he has carved a niche for himself as a DJ and producer, captivating audiences and leaving an indelible mark on music. He is as hot as the Scotch Bonnet pepper, but he turns up the heat with his unique music mixing skills. There is no doubt that this is an excellent mix to listen to as you enjoy the beautiful weather and then get ready for the party that follows. The mix is just over forty minutes long... enjoy Patrice Roberts and friends.

"Dat Shot" is the latest music release by Problem Child produced by Lashley "Motto" Winter of Saint Lucia. The song, from the Domino Album aka Riddim, was released in time for both Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent Carnivals 2023. The music composed by Motto on this very catchy rhythm (riddim) and engaging lyrical content makes this one ear candy for Carnival revelers.

It is possible that "Dat Shot" refers to "Back Shot" in this song, and that may be the case for this song. These lyrics are typical of Soca songs today. It has its place and audience. This is the type of song that carnival party attendees latch on to because of the catchy lyrics and the substance of the song. Problem Child is a skillful songwriter who plays with words and evokes carnival spirit in his songs. This song will be very popular for summer carnivals.

"Dat Shot" and the Domino Riddim songs are just one week old. Problem Child's song has already been at the forefront of YouTube music searches. Finally, because of the infectious rhythms, engaging lyrics and cultural significance, we expect this one to become a party favorite.

As "Dat Shot" continues to capture audiences, it will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on the contemporary music landscape. It will stand as a testament to the enduring power of Soca and Caribbean music as a whole. Enjoy!

Damn Girl... What Would Your Mama Say?

West Indian carnivals are renowned for their vibrant celebrations, pulsating rhythms, and exuberant dance displays. Among the many dance forms showcased at these festivals, some performances have been labeled as "promiscuous" due to their energetic and sensual nature. 

 
These dances have a cultural aspect. Dance expressions are amalgamations of African, European and indigenous influences all due to colonization, slavery and migration across continents and islands. Most of the attention is on women and their ability to "wuk up" (Barbados) or "wine" the term used in Trinidad & Tobago. Promiscuous dancing at West Indian carnivals serves as a means of liberation and self-expression, particularly for women. Historically speaking, women's bodies have been policed and controlled, often subjected to societal restrictions on movement and expression. However, West Indian carnivals challenge these norms by providing a space for women to reclaim their bodies, autonomy, and sexual agency. Promiscuous dancing empowers women to assert their desires and challenge society's expectations, celebrating their bodies and embracing their sexuality on their own terms. By breaking free from societal constraints, women find liberation and an avenue to express their true selves through uninhibited dance forms.
 
Definitely fire... what we see at Carnivals throughout the Caribbean basin, which most likely occurs during fetes rather than carnivals. If you want to know what Carnival euphoria is about, then you need to take a look at what this couple used to showcase carnival ecstasy. I know what you are thinking, "Damn Girl... What Would Your Mama Say?" Is that it? No, not for the guys watching. They wish they could have that guys experience and the ladies would be like, "I could do better than that!" 
 
Here is our advice for the guys, all wines are not the same, make sure you understand that this is just a wine after which you walk away, if it isn't and you get that look then you hit the jackpot 'son'! Seriously now, there will be those watching and wishing they could do that or better. It is important to note, however, that some condescending views send them straight to hell! My advice is that we should all do what makes us happy because tomorrow cannot be guaranteed. Live your life to the fullest and if it means making some prude unhappy, so be it!
 
Finally, don't condemn something you don't understand. Keep in mind the historical context and understand that promiscuous dancing at West Indian carnivals represents a vibrant celebration of culture, liberation, and identity. We hope this helps but we are confident that you will forget all that you read here after watching the video posted with this video.
