| | Soca Gold 2002 CD (1 Customer Review)
For those who can't attend Trinidad's annual carnival, the Soca Gold series offers another way to enjoy the legendary revelry. Soca Gold 2002 delivers ample vicarious excitement. Starting with 2002 Road March winner Naya George, who belts out the infectious opening track, "Trinidad," with the Invasion Band, the tone is set for non-stop partying. From South South West's playfully suggestive "Thelma" to Rupee's freewheeling delivery on "Blame It (On de Music)" to Lovey's determinedly naughty "Bitein Incex (We Love De)," all of the bases are covered. Despite the appearance of 2002 Soca Monarch winner Iwer George with the carnival anthem "Gimme ah Bligh," the album standout is Krosfyah with the hip-winding "I Doubt." ~ Rosalind Cummings-Yeates
This is part of VP Records "Soca Gold" series.

Disc 2 is a bonus continuous in-the-mix CD, compiled and mixed by DJ GB God Bless.
Although reggae draws the bulk of attention outside the Caribbean, the region boasts several other different musical forms, including zouk, compas, and, of course, calypso. Calypso's offspring, soca, is probably the most accessible of all. Formed during the mid-'70s disco era, soca or "soul calypso," swerved away from calypso's heavy social commentary and focused more on an international audience, pulsating dance beats and party lyrics. Often derided for watering down calypso's sharp storytelling, soca continues to be one of the Caribbean's most popular musical ...

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. This makes compilations like Soca Gold 2003 even more significant, since the year's Carnival's hits will typically go on to dominate the charts later on. Soca Gold 2003 provides great examples of what ...

$16.55
"I know the West will crumble someday," sings Bushman, but that didn't stop him from recording a positive and uplifting set of songs for Higher Ground. His socially conscious lyrics are more workmanlike than imaginative, and the music itself is somewhat short on idiosyncracies, but this is a consistently ...
| | Geri Allen Life Of A Song CD (2004)
Soca Gold 2002 album
$15.29
Life of a Song is Geri Allen's first recording under her own name in six long years. She teams with the rhythm section of bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette, whom she worked with on the late Betty Carter's stellar live date Feed the Fire in 1993. Allen composed eight of the album's 11 cuts, and the covers include Bud Powell's "Dance of the Infidels," Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life," and Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes." This last selection is augmented by the participation of Marcus Belgrave on flugelhorn, saxophonist Dwight Andrews, and trombonist Clifton Anderson. The album's title reflects the depth of commitment to the song forms inherent in jazz. Allen is in fine form here, and one can hear her various instrumental and vocal influences. The album swings, but looks underneath swing for its subtleties and its edges, too. The set opens with a playful, pianistic ...

Soca Gold 2002 songs

There are a lot of bands out there that rock (was there a time in this country when there wasn't?), but in the power stakes, Monty Are I still stand out in a packed scene. Weaving together emotive vocals, classic rock elements, edgy rhythms, aggressive delivery, a big sound, exhilarating dynamics, and some unexpected surprises, their debut album Wall of People is a rocker's delight. Not content to merely regurgitate the past's glories nor even emulate the modern crop of heroes, Wall of People strikes off down its own intriguing avenues. "Tie Off Your Veins," for example, features tuba and shifting time signatures that at times are so staccato ...
