Soca & Calypso - Feel Good Music

I love my Soca and Calypso music. It's such a great energy and if you really feel like dancing, then you can burn some calories too. I was listening to some older soca and calypso tonight and I burst a sweat. My children enjoyed it too and were dancing with me.

We didn't go far back with ou listening choices tonight. There was no "Inspection Lane" by the Awesome Jamband and there wasn't any "Horse Chip" either. Instead, we had a little Flaunt It by Claudette Peters and some Pumpin' by Peter Ram.

I took a little closer home with some "Circles" by Showtime from the BVI and "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Pantha Vibes from Anguilla. Usually we have some "Push It" or "Stiff Wuk Up" by the JDPP Jammers out of St. Thomas but I will give the kids that another night. I love my St. Kitts bands too and the Trinidadian massive too.

I like for my kids to hear and appreciate this music because it is a part of our culture. And as I stated earlier, dancing to soca can get you to break a sweat!

I don't know what your feel good music is but mine for sure is sweet sweet soca and calypso!

Mind you - I love my reggae, hip hop and R&B too but it's easier to dance to soca and calypso!
