Kes Serving Vibes: The Road Mix That Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda—Carnival 2026
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
Trinidad’s Carnival rolled in with one of those short seasons for 2026, and, as expected, many of the big road songs dropped late. Still, a few well‑known artists managed to dominate the airwaves. With strong promotion and the right radio connections, their tracks quickly became the go-to favorites for Road March. As the band parade drew near, three songs stood out prominently: “Encore,” “Cyar Behave Mehself,” and "Still a Road Man.” And when the results were announced, those same three locked down the top spots.
So why are we here today? Simple. We want to highlight a road mix you may have completely missed—mainly because radio stations didn’t give it the love it deserved. The song in question, “Rum and Coca Cola” by Kes, was never considered a road march contender by some because it falls squarely into the groove soca lane. The argument goes, "Groove can’t win Road March. A road mix won’t change that.” But is that really true?
One would think that a true road song should be sweet, infectious, and capable of capturing the imagination of masqueraders. That should be the formula. Regardless of BPM, the vibe and the energy a song brings to the road should matter more than speed or the traditional “Power Soca energy.” That’s exactly why we believe Voice’s “Cyar Behave Mehself” is the real Road March of Trinidad Carnival 2026. And of course, we congratulate Machel Montano’s “Encore” for securing the official Stage March title.
Now, back to regular programming. Kes’ “Rum and Coca-Cola" may not have reached the popularity of “Cyar Behave,” but it absolutely deserves an honorable mention. We’re featuring it here because many of you may have missed the Road Mix entirely. Take a listen and appreciate the vibe, the creativity, and the production brilliance behind it. The mix was crafted by D Ninja and Madness MUV Productions.
So press play, relax, and take in the vibes. And if the rhythm grabs you, feel free to get up and do your thing.

Groove Before the Jab: Blaka Dan Ushers Us Toward Spicemas
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
Today we spotlight two infectious tracks from Grenada’s Soca powerhouse, Blaka Dan—reminders that the Spice Isle’s carnival season is heating up. With Spicemas on the horizon, these hits serve as sonic breadcrumbs leading us toward the full eruption of Jab Jab energy.
But before the oil, horns, and powder take over, let’s not forget: Grenada is also home to some of the sweetest groove soca in the region. While Jab Soca dominates the conversation this time of year, artists such as Blaka Dan remind us that melody, rhythm, and lyrical finesse thrive in the Spice Isle.
So if you’re wondering when the jab will drop—don’t worry, it’s coming. But for now, let’s ease into the transition from Trinidad’s Carnival to Grenada’s Spicemas with a little groove, a little sweetness, and a whole lot of vibes.
Enjoy the ride. The rhythm never stops.

The image represents the beating of the bobolee and climbing the greasy pole to win the ham hamper at the top.
✝️ Wishing our entire Sokah2Soca family a peaceful, reflective Good Friday and a joyful, love-filled Easter weekend.
Across the Caribbean and diaspora, we honor this time in many ways—some in quiet prayer, some in church, and some keeping tradition alive with bobolee beatings, community limes, greasy pole climbs, games, food, and laughter. However you choose to observe the season, may kindness guide your steps and compassion shape your interactions.
And as the music sweetens the day, remember:
Reach out. Lift someone up. Share a little love.
That is the true heart of Easter.
As a small gift to the community, enjoy "Best Gospel Soca” by DJ Dero—a blend of uplifting praise, Caribbean rhythm, and pure spiritual inspiration for the season.
May the music raise your spirit and remind you of the hope, renewal, and togetherness Easter brings.
Blessings to you and yours.
