This thread was inspired by a comment made by Ushawishi in another thread that made me realise that a thread like this is needed on Imix as he has no idea what Jamoo music is about!

Well here is a short Jamoo-Soca lesson for you!

Jamoo (aka Jehovah’s Music) is basically Gospel-Soca done in a particular style by members of the Love Circle who are the children of Ras Shorty-I (the Father of Soca) and their various music circles!! Jamoo has been around since the mid-90’s in T&T when the “Jump & Wave” and Ragga-Soca crazes took hold!

Ras Shorty-I had 13 children (who are now all grown up and play music) with his wife so you can see how the Love Circle and their addition music circles have become quite large and musically influential in T&T and wherever they have ventured to around the world.

Members of the Love Circle do a lot of touring on the Gospel circuits around the world and their music is much more widely heard and appreciated internationally than many of the so-called brand name soca artists we hear of today!
The most famous member of the Love Circle at the moment is Isaac Blackman.

Here are some videos of Jamoo-Soca tunes from Isaac Blackman including a live performance in Kenya where he also meet the Masaai Tribe who are big fans of his hit tune "To The Ceiling":

Hey folks, please checkout this thread (see videos above etc) and learn a bit more about Jamoo-Soca music and also leave your comments of what you think of this conscious Soca style that was also pioneered by the Father of Soca, Ras Shorty-I and is now being carried on by his siblings and others members of the Love Circle!

Btw "Sweet Music" is Isaac Blackman's latest Jamoo-Soca single due for official release with a new music video right after T&T Carnival 2K12.

Since you didn't know what V.I called dere music before de soul of calypso meant indian was involved some of us called it Ringbang in dominica ... during dat time and up until now V.I people call all all you music calypso and in case you didn't know dis is happening today.

Hope you find dese leads interesting enough to investigate before writing your book...

In de mean time if you can post de 'underground' music from trinidad dats where i I lacking current music... see fings popular DJs doh pay much attention too dais wat i like... popular ready information easy too find...

Anyways I doh take your gospel as de absolute truth and accept all de consequences from its law makers... next rounds king.

That was a suggested name I threw out after Colors or one of them asked me how I would describe their soca from VI! I not trying to dictate what a man want to call his thing in the same way that a man cannot dictate to me what I call my thing or how I define my thing!

All I ask if you chose to copy me and call your thing after the name I call my thing then you need to accept my definition of the thing and stop wasting time with endless circular arguments about my thing, that's all!

Otherwise I am with you breeds, we need to be more united as our cultures have more similarities than differences!

Btw did you listen to the Jamoo music videos above?
And what do you think of the Jamoo-Soca style?
