What’s Next for Soca?

This year, Soca is turning 50 years old. The music genre was born in Trinidad and Tobago in the 70s in the hands of Lord Shorty, and has become the heart of Trinidadian Carnival. So when the stages closed because of the pandemic, what did Soca artists do? On today’s episode of VICE News Reports we explore how Soca has captivated a global audience and ask, what’s next for the genre?

Here’s a playlist featuring some of the songs we discuss in the episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3718jV7TlTZRvj5Fumlyk1
