Soca Music ( Pop Culture)

Soca music is well known and popular in the West Indian cultures. I love soca music its fun to dance to and its soothing.

As far as soca music history is concerned there is a big misconception that soca music was created by the blending of calypso and soul music. People have been misled into this belief because of the fact that Lord Shorty called soca "soul calypso".
