Soca started in Penthouse Club in Port Of Spain. It was a band of musician that started it. In 1972 Regal Calypso Tent in Port of Spain. There was an audition at the tent. A guy came and started singing a crossover song. We called it soul calypso on the spot. Shorty was there, Relator was there, Caressa and others were there. People started laughing at the man so he left. The next year some of the same guys who were laughing at the guy started singing the same thing. Shorty had a show in Penthouse. The band got involved in the beat.

Great vid. Keep it up. One day you will be a walking library and it will make you alot of money. You are a man of substance. Shorty took the credit for Soca but if you listen to the Mighty Shadow in 1971. The song is 'the threat" you would realise that that type of music started before

East Indian did not move to Trinidad or the Caribbean they were brought their as the first set of slaves to work in the cane fields

[@Pop2nastyy]

It was more like indentured servitude and the East Indians did indeed come after the African slaves

[@Pop2nastyy]

The first set of slaves we’re actual the indigenous people

The person who was talking about African and East indian rhythms and the music being created as a political tool to bring them together is talking ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! The music was never called CALYPSO firstly; Calypso is an exonym coming from a european journalist. It was always called KAISO from the Igbo Ka-I-So~ Keep Going! So-Ca is merely the modern, faster version of Kaiso. Wow what nonsense! The popular music form that evolved into the modern forms in TnT is a mixture of related African musics from Guyana(Shanto) the Pena and the Kaiso from Trinidad. It also includes the African ring shout music of the Qois Quois (In Guyana Queh Queh) and many other rhythms not mentioned here. Ras shorty is talking RASS!
