When I think about how soca music makes me feel, I beam from the inside. Charge it to my Trinidadian roots, but whenever a big “chune” plays (old or new) my eyes close, hands go up, head tilts back and my waistline sways to the rhythm.
For me and millions of other Kes the Band
“The color of paint that soca has become is happiness, so we really wanted this album to remind people what it is to feel happy again. This is really our personal concert for you,” said Kees. Celebrations have also already begun for the album as “Hello,” the lead single on the live album, now holds the title for most YouTube plays of any soca song in the last decade.
Although most international travel may be interrupted indefinitely, enjoy a true taste of Caribbean culture with this eclectic live album until you can experience the islands in-person again. The chunes on Kes’ We Home provide the perfect playlist to kick back, pour a drink and, as the locals say, “free up yourself.”
