Does Kes Agree w/ Bounty Killer's Comments About Soca? || The Fix Podcast 

We/Caribbean needs to have it's own collective music award show.

The Fix seems to forget Calypso was bigger than Reggae in Jamaica in the Past ..My grand father Lord Laro made his career singing Calypso in Jamaica he's a legend there so Soca is just the new wave but nothing new 🇹🇹🇯🇲❤️💯

Jamaican friend of mines never really dig soca until he went and experience trinidad carnival de man come and start to make soca dj mixes for the club and part trini oye lol….kes real talk soca issa vibe and the carribean can be so much stronger if we work together 🙏🏽🌎

I am Jamaican but I grow up on Soca/Calypso my parents, and my aunts/uncles would have Soca parties in the 90's

Kes is very knowledgeable in regards to music

Soca give ya feel good vibes to relax and free up.....

Soca is fun music, nowadays dancehall is mostly about death,destruction and criminality. Which doesn’t to consumers.

I think New York have a big part to play because the West Indies community in New York brings everything much closer you don't have to visit someone's country to understand their culture the melting pot offers you that experience to a point

Jamaica had Billy Fontaine’s soca/calypso during the 60’s and 70’s before the rise of Reggae. It wasn’t until Reggae n Ska hit the scene in JA that soca took a backseat in Jamaica. I loved this interview,we Caribbean people need to govern our own thing and stop look to The US to help market we

I remember when Admiral Bailey collaborated with Byron Lee and the dragonaires

😅It’s not that The Fix don’t remember how popular Calypso was, most young people simply do not know. Back then people sing and dance to sweet music. Jamaicans had no prejudice to music. Every music has their highest era (usually among the young) when a new sound emerges young people gravitate towards it, makes it popular - Older people don’t bother to tell their children how popular the older genre was. Even if they do,the new sound is more appealing … I remember when I used to wait for Calypso Corner on radio in Jamaica each morning. I had to hear those Calypso songs in the mornings before mi run to school. Until this day Calypso and Ska are my favourite music. Of course, I appreciate some of the great individual talents from different genres and different eras eg; Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Alton Ellis Sparrow, Gregory Isaacs, Arrow, The great Whitney❤️ Super Cat, Koffee. For some reason, we can’t embrace the best of all music, we feel the need to treat music especially in the region as competition. Just embrace the region’s music as part of our Black/Caribbean culture😅

Byron Lee popularised soca in JA he got some hits dat is timeless, even other soca artists can't contest also he had a part to play with the influence of pioneering rock steady to reggae, I believe his link is wit Lynn Taitt wen he gave Mr.Taitt assistant wen Mr.Taitt was left with no money in JA by his bandmates , I think a group by d name of fab 5 hav from JA did some timeless soca songs too " every woman deserves a good buddy" is one of dem. Mr. Lynn Taitt a Trinidadian from South Trinidad (San Fernando) who never got any credit as an innovator for rock steady, even tho Mr. Alton Ellis was crowned d Godfada of rock steady.

Alison Hinds collaborated with Shaggy and Richie Spice Bunji Garlin Bounty Killer we need to collaborate more Kevin lyttle Spragga Benz Gyptian and kas I think what is missing is the balance

A Big thank you to The Fix for preview ing another project I have worked on "Mystic 1 - Make Me" 🔥🔥🔥 Big Song 💯

Trinis🇹🇹 & Yardies🇯🇲 unite! Best of the Caribbean 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇯🇲🇯🇲

so basically Jamaican uptown love the same lifestyle down town Trinidad love

It's crazy that Jamaicans are the ones giving Soca a voice in the podcast world. It's even more crazy that The Fix doh even like Soca.

Am I the only Caribbean person who doesn't care whether or not Soca makes it big in international markets or not? Like we know Soca is amazing it doesn't need the approval of America or Europe to verify it's quality. And sadly we have seen with other genres, Once foreign have a hold on it they try to transform it into something that is unrecognizable from its roots. So leave our soca alone please and thanks.

It annoys me they cannot make the distinction

Soon... Caribbean Award Show❤❤❤. In USA and West Indies!!!

Trinidad artists use to go Jamaica back in the days cause they had d biggest studio. 1 day while some Trini artist was in the studio in JA, d current (electric) gone. When it come back, d calypso song that was playing was slow. And d JA man liked it. And so that's how Reggae was found. It's just Calypso slow down. 😂 =)

Yes tekashi new song is a soca

The problem I have with most Caribbean and Central American Carnival is it steals Trinidad and Tobago artistic and cultural genius. From the names of the fetes, event names, folk characters e.g "Jouvert" and "Dimanche Gras" on the beach really???? It's disgusting! Every other culture protects and safe guards the authenticity of their culture. This we ting I'm not with it.

It must be hard for Kes to have to deal with dummies

Doh do that shit with Latin and SOCA and fusion sh*t ma'am. Not at all! We need to create and promote we own lane. Reggae is on a world stage not Dancehall.

Do people actually play soca in their cars or in there headphones? Cause to me, people really only like soca when a party/carnival time…

Get back to the Basics! Stop the Gimmicks lyrics

It seems like everybody want dancehall to flop a wha so bout we

Any bum off the road can do Soca n calypso all u need is a chorus no special talent needed just simple minded lyrics that just repeat over n over, no sick word play, cadence, flow, mastery of metaphors just a chorus line music smfh

You guys need to shut up about Americans until you get a space program.
