While we applaud the value of Lord Blakie's Calypso, we would like to take this opportunity to remind people that each of us can and should use independent thought and not fall prey to 'false prophets' preaching a way forward when they are breaking the rules. Instead of making excuses for them, we should confront their bigotry when it is evident and unmistakable.

 

It was indeed a pleasure listening to this old-school style of Calypso and the singing style of one of our finest Calypsonians. At Sokah2Soca, we celebrate this classic calypso infused with a catchy melody, witty lyrical content, and music that you can dance to, unlike many of the calypsos sung today. Let me conclude with the following: many calypsos made fun of the small islanders and especially the Grenadians, but without the Grenadians, Trinidad Calypso would not be what it is today. We are thankful to the country and people of Grenada for their development of Trinidad's Calypso culture.

 

Early '60s calypso from Carlton Joseph, a.k.a. Lord Blakie. The Warlord wanted to send migrants back to Grenada, including "The Mighty Sparrow!"

We really needed to get to this place; we owe you some sweet Soca music, and today we deliver on our promise. Kerwin Du Bois, a talented vibe master, has released his new song, "You Owe Me." This music release has the potential to become a carnival hit—a surefire banger! Kerwin and Azaryah co-wrote the song, while Jonny Blaze & Stadic, two talented Soca music producers, produced it.

 

Kerwin brings his signature touch to this music production. The music has a vibe, and Kerwin's signature singing style delivers the right feel and the message needed for this upcoming Carnival celebration. "Hey baby, you owe me a wine (whine)!" is a common refrain in many party venues across Trinidad and Tobago. Both Kerwin and Azaryah possess a deep understanding of what resonates with Trinidadians' approach to carnivals and festivities. The lyrics reflect our identity as a people, adding their unique touch to the carnival experiences we have each year.

 

What can go wrong with this music release? Nothing can go wrong unless the radio stations blindly play the songs they like on any given day. The voice of the people should determine which songs rise to the top. We believe that this song has all the markers to become a banger for Carnival 2025. The vibe is right, the rhythm digs into your cultural soul, and we expect that everyone will be whining to "You Owe Me."

 

We, at Sokah2Soca, celebrate this new music release with this production team. Well done, Kerwin, and we invite you to tune in to Island Vybe Philly Radio to hear this song and all the new music releases. So what are you waiting on? Press play, turn up the volume, and tell your 'besty,' "You owe me" (ah, Carnival wine)!

Trinidadians have a fondness for teasing, a tradition that dates back to the early days of Calypso music. During those days, Calypso, the voice of the people, loved to use the technique of double entendre to stimulate the psyche of the populace. Since Soca music supplanted Calypso, it has sparingly employed the art of double entendre. Today, however, a Soca Parang release reaches new heights, tantalizing us with a dose of double-entendre as we anticipate this Christmas season. This release is a teaser, and whether it's Calypso, Soca, or Soca Parang, the artist always manages to captivate us with their inventive lyrics. In this post, we present a new music release that falls under the Soca Parange category. The song "Cat for Christmas" revolves around a cat for sale.

 

Do not be a prude and frown because your impure mind has led you to a different location. Do you recall Sparrow's "Sell the Pussy"? It's a calypso that you'll hear repeatedly, and no one will complain about it. Give this Soca Parang song a hearing and share it with your peers for comment. I am thankful to Island Vybe DJ Black Widow Sounds for bringing this song to my attention. We have to promote our culture and talented artists. After all, isn't that what we are here to do?

 

Now clear your thoughts and press play, listen, and then share your comments with us at Sokah2Soca. We eagerly await your responses and whether or not you are in the market for J Angel's marketing push to earn some cash for Christmas. Puss for sale, people!

 

YouTube Music Release Notes/S2S:

Hi everyone, It’s a pleasure to write and sing my very first Soca Parang for you all, “CAT FOR CHRISTMAS,” a parang song with a twist! As you all know, I love writing music using a lot of double entendre; this is a fun song for my Caribbean people for the Christmas season. Both young and old can enjoy listening to this one with its comedic flow and especially my teasingly creative and entertaining penmanship. "My puss produced 27 kittens, and that is what everyone is receiving this Christmas from Trini Catwoman J. Angel, a cat for Christmas." Please understand that I need money to pay my bills this season.
