With just over three more weeks to go it is once again clear why TnT is and will remain the mecca for soca. After this season, it should be quite clear to soca lovers that the mecca stands alone when it comes to the music of this culture. A review of the music put out this year is irrefutable evidence that the trinis remain the heart and soul of this music and this culture. From the impecabble pan tunes from Machel and Destra (tunes that only the most musically talented of this culture can do well)....to the fantastic groovy tunes from people like Kerwin du bois...to the great jouvert music......to the melodious work of KES....just to name a few, there should be no doubt as to where the engine that propels this train is fuel from. Others may come and go...may be hot and cold....but the one constant remains tnt. TnT Massive push up yuh chest!

I agree with the groovy tunes and the pan tunes...i always love the midtempo tunes from tnt when its carnival season. As far as the jump n wave tunes, theirs always one or two that stick in my head.

i think the grenada posse hold that title! they have the baddest hard wukking tunes, bajans tooo, let me not get beat up in here today lol

I am convinced you and VP are the same person, or share a common soul. Wunna does sound exactly the same just that he does be repping St. V and you TnT.

It depends on someone preference of hard wukkin tunes..you may consider stabby song a hard wukkin tune.(and i will say that tune is just a good hype song)..and I may consider Denise Belfon "jam it" a hard wukkin tune...

I agree, to a point. But it has more to do with the ecconomy in TnT than the artist themselves. Even when Trini artist suck and others are much better, there is more money in TnT so those artist will perform there on bigger sets and because TnT has more people the crowds will also be bigger.

I'm not talking about money or crowds..i'm talking about the yard stick by which all others have to measure themselves against. The standard for the music has always been set in TnT and a review of the better songs for c2k9 underscores the point.

soca has grown in popularity because de bajans and de vincies have infused de music with creativity and imagination. in de last 15 or more years, de biggest soca chunes have been produced by bajans and by vincies. by biggest soca chunes, i mean de ones reaching billboard and other international record charts. for a while back in de 1990s, trini producers were complaining about trini artists running to bim at de expense of trini producers.

honestly, trini producers have not advance de music. again, much of de creativity and imagination come frum de bajans and de vincies.
