DYSCHICK

My love for all things Carnival started with my first Trinidad Carnival experience.  In 2001, I studied “Trinidad Carnival, Culture, and History” at the University of the West Indies with Dr. Milla Riggio and playwright Tony Hall.  My five-month study included lectures by author Earl Lovelace, an internship at The Trinidad and Tobago Review with Lloyd Best, a course on West Indian literature taught by activist Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh, j’ouvert with rapso band 3 Canal, and jumping up in Peter Minshall’s mas band on Carnival Tuesday.  This trip changed my life.   Now, I encourage those who may not know about Carnival music, the artistry, or culture to experience them with me. 

SOCASAYSO

SocaSaySo was formed out of frustration that the greatness of Soca music was not being recognized on a global scale. Our founder wanted an answer to the ever-echoing question, “why hasn’t Soca crossed over?” We believe that Soca artists have worked to market individual songs but the genre needs a marketing push.  We will use this and every platform possible to spread the word about how great this music genre is and highlight the talented players in the industry. In order to help Soca grow we will delve into its history, feature current key players, and promote the artists of the future video blogs, pictures and interviews to immerse you in the world of Soca. We encourage you to subscribe to our YouTube channel and visit SocaSaySo on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
