In fact I have heard that some of these very people do not love soca.
The same is also true for some DJs. The place soca because they have to but they are Reggae/dancehall men or Rap heads.
What effect do you think this is having on the soca industry?

People will do this in a small island (as opposed to a larger country of people who could care less) that would otherwise treat you as a traitor if you said you wouldn't go under the guillotine for the "national" music. Sorta like marrying a women though you know you're a gay man. Simmi?
Has nothing to do with said industry. People shouldn't be chained to any genre of music. |
