About this listen
Soca is insanely danceable Caribbean dance music that provides the soundtrack to Carnival in Trinidad. It’s also been traditionally dominated by men and tinged with misogynistic undertones. Pitch contributor Martine Powers reports on how the original “Queen of Soca” changed the whole tone of Carnival in 2017 with a song that’ll make you want to dance, but with a message of empowerment.

Myself, I wasn’t looking for another righteous podcast about international cultures and how I should feel about them. (Please don’t say this isn’t a podcast). It turns out this series is not about that at all, and is incredibly fascinating. My expectation is that many listeners will not make it to the third episode because the first two create a strong (if false) impression of what this series is about.
In the future, I strongly encourage better curation of the content. To create growth instead of randomness, to i spire and intrigue instead of railroad, and to support the less well done episodes.
This series is not about international politics theough music
