There has been so much talk about Soca music and how it will conquer the World. Yes we love Soca music but then again I am from the Caribbean and grew up listening to Calypso. The music has changed and has morphed into Soca thanks to the efforts of Garfield Blackman aka Lord Shorty and many others. However the rest of the World don't know about Soca music and if you watch this video you will understand that most Americans don't have a clue what Soca music is... As a matter of fact they have never heard of it - amazing? Well not really. I have lived in the United States for 20 years and apart from the West Indian communities the rest of the American public don't know or don't care about our music unless they are going on vacation to the islands. Enough of that but I guess by now you understand how I feel about the subject. One of the problems, as I see it, is that we are not selling the right type of Soca music to the rest of the World. Power Soca is for the Caribbean however, for the US and rest of the World the emphasis has to be on Groovy Soca. Until we recognize this fact we will continue to "spin top in mud". Now let's take a look at the trailer for this documentary.
