Are Soca Artistes Afraid of 'Trinibad' & Zess? (ft. Kes) || The Fix

[@crystalrichards8307]

I really wish that they could interview Bunji Garlin. He is the perfect person to have these type of conversations with..

[@LionofJudah]

Kees is the EPITOME of what it means to be a true Trinbagonian. Big up meh brudda!

[@kevonjames2621]

Bunji garlin in his early years in soca was a social commentator...songs like down in d ghetto...warrior cry...blaze d fire....desperados and many more....the mighty shadow who was one of trinidad best lyricist had many including a classic poverty is hell

[@Southkali]

I like this documentary the fix is doing…. This something trinidad needs for the world to understand our culture more 🇹🇹🌎🇯🇲 one love

[@shortis525]

I rate them so high for this if only we could do this ourselves 🤷🏾‍♂️. One link still 🇹🇹🇯🇲🌎

I recall Rapso which was conscious Calypso or Soca. Bob Marley did it with reggae, a message over major chords eg Talkin Blues. From what I've heard Marley was influenced by the message In Calypso when he was starting out. It can be done in Soca but it's the balance. Big up Kes the band-it's really cool to hear the production level in their music.

[@aaronbacchus7785]

thats what i heard so y they dont say reggae is a son of calypso that need to be discussed

[@Benji_1]

Stop only focusing on the Soca music that deal with Carnival and party themes. Listen to some Blaxx.. Remove yourself and Hulk Bunji Garlin... Vampire. Freetown Collective Music. Voice. Ras Shorty I, the man who created the thing.... Who God bless. David Rudder have a huge set of conscious social and political commentary check it out. It has already been done but more artiste need to get on board

[@shotteebwoi1O2]

@@Benji_1 Can't forget about Black Stalin neither! That man was a MASTER at putting conscious and pro-Black messages in his Soca songs!

[@Benji_1]

@@shotteebwoi1O2 Shadow. Poverty is hell.. Explainer... Heros . And the list is endless. What happened is some of the leading Soca Artiste especially those attached to bands focused more on the party scene like Machel Montano. Their repertoire would of mainly been wine and jam, jump and wave. So that type of Soca brand became more popular over the years because of the Money it generated. But that crap, truly does not define what Soca is. And many of the new Soca Artiste just like the new dance hall Artiste don't know the history. They just in the now moment. They were not properly schooled in the Artforms but they have a voice. Sadly because of their lack of knowledge they mislead many. Now Machel is a Yogi he is talking conscious. We will see what he brings in the future.

soca and Calypso come from mento and ska you got to learn your history brother

[@Yahzerael777]

Kess couldn't explain that Calypso is more like Reggae, having alot to do with the social commentary and Soca is more like Dancehall, bring the fun...

[@mrstrini2]

Agree.

[@Southkali]

Kes is a south trini like me and south issa vibe

[@dereck4187]

The difference between Soca and Calypso......for soca is dancehall to Jamaica and Calypso is reggae to Jamaica

[@ToyaWilliams]

Good analogy

[@XDATT]

Bunji touch on social injustices all the time big socal tune we from the ghetto turn into a party song and the message was there

Trinibad is just like current dancehall it will only reach to a point maybe sad but it just is what it is

[@jadriangarner6374]

Trinibad is trap dancehall

[@Benji_1]

Trinbad is a movement or a group of Artiste not a music genre

[@thegamingzone5963]

Yea soon there will be no trinibad.

Soca is timeless because it’s original. Trinibad is just fake dancehall. It’s literally identical in every way even in language.

[@marqcollins1792]

They should'nt be...

[@shotteebwoi1O2]

Exactly, they more or less embrace those movements than anything else, and vice versa.

SOCA IS NOT A HIP GENRE OF MUSIC...I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN JAMAICA AND SEE PEOPLE LAUGH AT OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY LISTEN SOCA.SOCA WAS ALWASY SEEN AS THIS UNCOOL GENRE

[@lordpain6000]

Bro seriously what u have against us 😅...Let's talk facts here reggae/dancehall I is the giant of the Caribbean, it's a genre known worldwide n we love it also support it. Soca nowhere close to it on the world stage but it's slowly gaining recognition n being accepted in new places just like ur County y the constant fight down n division?

No he being real. He is speaking about what he was exposed to. He probably grew up around illiterates.

Soca music is a seasonal music, jump high jump low, Soca will only be relevant around Carnival and Festival times. Zess is 365 days a year. Lol

[@Benji_1]

You don't have a clue what you talking about. All the top Soca Artiste are fully booked for the entire year all over the world. Do your research on the various Caribbean types Carnival throughout region and the world. You would be shock to know how many exist. Soca season is all year round. Also see who jumping and waving most. You would be shocked to find out.

[@Yahzerael777]

@@Benji_1 yes they are booked partly all year round. But for what occasions? Same seasonal carnival festivals. Carnival done Soca done. Zess 365 days a year. 😊

[@Benji_1]

@@Yahzerael777 not really those Artiste who have a wider repertoire of selections under their belt get many bookings within and outside the season, but those who only limit themselves to festival type songs cannot. There is a difference
