Jamaica vs. Trini Cultural Expression

[Naminirt]

Well I am not sure its the speeding up but really the move away from reggae musical complexity to a more soca like simple up-tempo repetitive garbage.. Not sure its daggering music... The fact is we risk loosing the creativity of rhythm building and melodious sound.

The biggest parties now in toronto are soca parties boy even lindo p do soca Doh Cay AH leaving the return fete

Good! When yuh have time, listen to a Vybz Kartel song and den listen to a Bob.

That would be Bob, as in Marley, not Dylan. Yuh can listen to Dylan too. See if you can spot the difference in those styles/genres/beats.

I live in Toronto. Stop Lying. Redemption alone bigger than any soca dance.
Gregory, Marcia, Barrington Levy, Beres, Buju, Capleton, Movado....All these stage shows drew crowds larger than any soca shows and they charge at least double what the soca shows charge. I've been hearing this soca taking over thing for decades yet the times I've been to Trinidad I hear more reggae than anything else unless it's carnival season. How do you explain this?
Wishful thinking on your part.

you know one of my bonafide bredin is from TT and some of the best parties was the soca parties.. But the females had me distracted I did not hear the music. Nothing against the music but I can only take it for so long.. same for dancehall and this is comming from someone who played part one and version side for years.

I remember the first time I saw it, about 8 months ago or so, di way dem wenna hangle di girl, I was about to call the police! But I've gotten to really appreciate it as an art form.

Sorry to disappoint you, Historian, but a suh.
