Today, the "Dotish Hour" radio program proudly showcased classic musical gems. As is always the case, Deso consistently sparks conversations that lead to entertaining discussions. However, today, producer Kenny Phillips revealed a lesser-known gem in Trinidad and Tobago's musical history—the creation of a funky calypso classic by the Mighty Terror.

 

Kenny recalled the moment with youthful energy: Terror had his vision for the track, rooted in tradition, but grudgingly decided to trust Kenny’s then-modern, funky approach. But once the song hit the airwaves, something unexpected happened—Terror was not pleased. Terror called Kenny and demanded the immediate removal of the track.

 

However, fate (and rhythm) conspired to transform the story into one worthy of a Calypso verse. On his way to the barber shop later that day, people began praising Terror for his bold, new sound. Compliments flew like Carnival confetti, and by the time Terror reached his destination, his mood had shifted like a key change in a steelpan melody. Terror swallowed his pride and called Kenny. He rang Kenny back and said in his booming voice:

 

Laughter filled the WACK studio as Kenny and Mr. Desmond shared the story—one of creative tension, unexpected triumph, and the community’s power to reshape perception. I decided at that moment to post this segment, and because Kenny passed Deso's pirating crown to Santiwah, I quickly rewound the feed and recorded the segment for this post. So you see, WACK and Kenny Phillips are not the only Kulture Krazy fans of Trinidad and Tobago's unique culture; Sokah2Soca complements the radio station's mission. 

 

It’s stories like this—colorful, candid, and culturally rich—that remind us why preservation matters. Sokah2Soca remains committed to documenting these untold tales in partnership with WACK Visual Radio, ensuring that the legacy of our music is not only archived but felt. Go ahead and listen to Kenny and Deso chat about the song. The SoundCloud player has the chat and song (Socalypso-inspired version). We also added the YouTube "Rap Version" with the Def Krew for perspective. We hope this post inspires you to continue supporting WACK Visual Radio and to share information about our efforts to keep the culture alive here at Sokah2Soca. Enjoy!

Tonight, we wind down with a glass of wine and pay quiet tribute to classic R&B songs from yesteryear. Listen to the velvet tones of Gladys Knight, Otis Redding, and The Stylistics, as well as the soulful declarations of love and longing from celebrated artists you may have forgotten. R&B offered a warmth that crossed oceans and found a home in Caribbean hearts.

 

When you listen to Mr. Desmond's selections, your brain will be flooded with musical memories of R&B and sweet reggae that you loved to listen to. From the velvet tones of Gladys Knight, Otis Redding, and The Stylistics to the soulful declarations of love and longing that brought joy and sorrow 'back in the day!' 

 

We’re not just revisiting tunes tonight—we’re revisiting feelings. We are toasting to the songs that shaped our parents' era and shaped our personal growth. Enjoy the rewind.

This song is going to become a hit... a party hit for sure! However, we decided that we needed a clean version of the song for posting. We have posted mixes that have 'adult lyrical content' but decided that this music was so good that we believe a clean version will surely do well but not as well as the raw original version at parties. From the dynamic production house of Touch The Road Records (TTRR) comes a fresh, clean rendition of “Bumpa Move,” a high-octane Bouyon track by Punz, featuring none other than Skillibeng. While the original version, spearheaded by Punz, is built to shell down parties island-wide, this clean edit keeps the same electrifying energy with lyrics fit for broader platforms.

 

As you may realize, we have posted Bouyon music with some regularity. We believe Bouyon is on the rise, but, for some, the raw lyrical content is an issue and definitely not lyrically radio-friendly. While the original version will no doubt fuel the wildest segments of fête season, this clean cut courtesy of TTRR provides an inclusive alternative without dulling the impact. It’s Soca-adjacent, Bouyon-rooted, and community-ready—perfect for daytime sets, radio rotation, and everywhere Caribbean music deserves to shine.

 

We believe that this is the moment for Bouyon to gain popularity across the Caribbean and become mainstream in the international market. This genre from Dominica is pushing through borders and asserting its place in the pan-Caribbean soundscape. This radio-friendly version should help with the song and genre's promotion. So press play and enjoy Punz and Skillibeng's Bouyon track "Bumpa Move."

But wait, the music isn't just sweet; the production team brought together some really talented people for this album. The Bajan Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds; the ever-smooth lyrical craftsman, who brings the vibe; and the energizer magician, Marzville, all keep this rhythm pumping with excitement and pure vibes. 

 

This riddim works; it is different yet familiar for Bajans and uniquely sweet for the rest of the Caribbean. This vibe should easily transition to North America for their upcoming carnival celebrations. This music exudes a sweet and radiant quality, evoking a sense of belonging in the Caribbean. 

 

From Sokah2Soca, we say: turn this one way up. And if you’re lucky enough to be on the road this August, make sure your flag is high and your energy higher—because this is what real Caribbean joy sounds like.
