	Rupee : interview
		His unique sound, which fuses all the best elements of soca, hip hop, reggae and dancehall has put him at the top of the charts both at home and in the States, and he will soon be making waves here in the UK with his debut single and album.
		Rupee remains remarkably calm and focused in the face of these attacks, articulating his response without even the slightest hint of anger or annoyance.
		Soca music is the sound of carnival and that upbeat vibe seems to infiltrate Rupee's spirit.

		Rupee, born Rupert Clarke, is the multi-ethnic son of a Barbadian father and a German mother.

	Rupee - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Soca sensation Rupee (born Rupert Clarke) got his start with the Barbadian reggae group Coalishun, which he joined in 1997 after strong showings at area talent contests.
		Though he began as a chanter in the dancehall style, Rupee soon discovered calypso song, and in 1998 wrote the international soca hit "Ice Cream." The song launched his solo career, and he issued three successful solo albums in the early 2000s.
		That exposure prompted Atlantic Records to sign Rupee in late 2003, after the success of fellow Atlantic artist Kevin Lyttle had proven the eminent marketability of the addictive soca sound.

	World Music Features Rupee World Music at Global Rhythm - The Destination for World Music
		Soca, the faster-paced, danceable derivative of calypso created in Trinidad and Tobago(TandT) in the mid-1970s and now the dominant music of the Anglophone eastern Caribbean archipelago, has, with few exceptions, enjoyed very limited success beyond these islandsâ shores.
		Currently socaâs international spotlight is shining on Barbadosâ Rupee, whose music, a soca-pop-dancehall hybrid, is often characterized and criticized as not being, well, authentic soca.
		Whether Rupeeâs Atlantic debut CD 1 On 1, scheduled for release this month, will establish soca as a viable music genre among a wider international fan base is debatable, but his good looks, affable personality and unthreatening aura certainly increase the odds.

		Rupee, born Rupert Clarke and nicknamed Rupee by his mother, hopes to answer those questions and make the world take notice of the burgeoning sultry soca sound with his new album, due in February, which mixes traditional soca with RandB and hip-hop.
		Rupee said the song, with its catchy chorus that includes such lyrics as "Before the end of the night/ I want to hold you so tight/ You know I want you so much," is about the universal temptation that draws people to what they're not supposed to have.
		Rupee's years of onstage experience, combined with the recent mainstream arrival of soca — dance music that combines Indian and island sounds with up-tempo percussion — helped the artist secure a deal with Atlantic Records.

		Soca Gold 2003 provides great examples of what is hot in the genre.
		The 18-track disc strongly reflects the trend of mixing soca with dancehall and R&B. Although the straight-ahead, hyper-rhythms of traditional soca are well represented by hits such as the ecstatic "Display" by Invasion and the wicked "Power Drill" by Burning Flames, the standouts are the hybrids.
		The tune displays a contagious and accessible concoction of R&B and soca that has Rupee, a long-time soca star, poised to break out with this signature style.
