Soca is a dance music which is a mix of Trinidad's calypso and Indian music and rhythms, especially chutney music—it is not, as is often said, a fusion of soul and calypso. It combines the melodic lilting sound of calypso with an insistent percussion.
Some soca songs which have become hits:
"Hot Hot Hot" - Buster Pointdexter (originally recorded by Arrow)
"Follow the leader" - Soca Boys (originally recorded by Nigel and Marvin Lewis)
"Who Let the Dogs Out" - Baha Men (originally recorded by Anslem Douglas)
"Sweet Soca Music" - Sugar Daddy
"Turn Me On" - Kevin Lyttle
"Tempted to Touch" - Rupee (Soca artist)
"We Not Givin' Up" - Machel Montano and Xtatik

Soca is a type of dance music which originated in Trinidad-and is a mixture of calypso and Indian music and rhythms. However, someone stated that Soca mainly comes from Trinidad & Barbados-WRONG. Barbados didn't start producing soca until the 80's....it's just that they have some popular artists so they get credit but they got into the game late. I also want to state that Soca is most definitly NOT limited to Trinidad (though they produce the most soca and sometimes the best).
There are great soca artists coming out of ALL the Caribbean Islands like St. Vincent, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, Antigua, Dominica, etc. All these Islands produce GREAT soca music but they are not given a lot of exposure so many of you probably think Soca is limited to only T&T and Barbados-which is not true at all.
St. Vincent especially has done very well for itself-with artists like Kevin Lyttle, Jamesy P, Beckett.
Grenada has the incomproble Ajamu, Sparrow (considered a T&T artist as well), Inspector, and some great new talent like Mr. Killa.
Barbados has Rupee & Alison Hinds among other artists.
T&T has too many to name-but Machel Montano,Destra and Shurwayne Winchester are some of my favorites from Trinidad.
Antigua has some very talented artist like Burning Flames, whom I am a big fan of as well.
"Teaser" by Beckett is a great soca tune
"Turn me on" By Kevin Lyttle is a great soca tune
"It's Carnival" By Destra & Machel Montano is a great soca tune
"Iron Bazodee" By Alison Hinds is a great soca tune
"Balance" by Mr. Killa is a great soca tune

SOCA

Soca officers can be given the powers of a police constable, customs officer or an immigration officer. The agency, its officers and operations are exempt from the freedom of information act in order to protect national security. Soca will also operate outside of the United Kingdom covertly. The National Hi-Tech Crimes Unit is now a division of Soca which previously operated independently. Soca's aims are to target drug trafficking, organised immmigration crime, private sector fraud and any other organised crime. The agency budget for 06/07 was stated publicly as £416m.
