	Soca music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soca is a dance music which is a mix of Trinidad's calypso and Indian music and rhythms, especially chutney music -- it is not, as is often said, a fusion of soul and calypso.
		Like calypso, soca was used for both social commentary and risqué humor, though the initial wave of soca acts eschewed the former.
		Lord Shorty was disillusioned with the genre by the 1980s because soca was being used to "celebrate the female bottom, rather than uplift the spirits of the people".

		Since the 1990s, artistes of both genres have been steadily blending their voices on tracks, eventually merging soca with dancehall to create quite a buzz for fans on both sides of the fence.
		However varied the reasons for the rampant mixing of dancehall and soca are, the popularity does not seem to be about to wane any time soon.
		Just as the tatty and butterfly made the transition to soca in the 90s, the 'propellor', 'signal de plane', 'raindrops' and other dancehall moves are very much a part of the 2004 carnival experience.

	(old) de cooler : soca news: Trini skin foreign mask?
		As I said earlier, soca started as a crossover of different elements (calypso, indian music and new studio technology of the 70s).
		The thrust of my argument is not that soca should become set in stone, but that it should retain its identity as a party variant of calypso.
		Then the shameless and unassimilated borrowing that deprives soca of its early originality might be a thing of the past.

		For the inexperienced, originally, calypso was considered to be the more socially concious form of the music with stinging social commentary with soca being classified as more of party and 'wuk up' music.
		That said, this album is excellent with hits that predate the Soca Gold Series which started in the the late 90's.

		Once regulated to a couple of months of carnival festivities and holiday parties, soca music has evolved to a level where it's played all year round, regardless of the occasion.
		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.
