Genres we write for Trinidad and Tobago
- Soca. The default for anything celebratory, and the sound of the season from Christmas through Carnival.
- Power soca. Fast and hard, built for the road and for a crowd that already knows the words.
- Groovy soca. Slower and more melodic. Better when the words matter more than the tempo.
- Chutney soca. Its own lane, with dholak and harmonium in the rhythm. Not a soca song with an Indian flavour added.
- Chutney. For weddings, maticoor nights and family occasions where the older heads are listening.
- Calypso. When the song has something to say, with picong in it.
- Parang. Christmas. Cuatro, box bass and the Spanish-derived tradition nothing else replaces in December.
- Gospel. Church anniversaries, thanksgivings and tributes.
A unique gift in Trinidad and Tobago, for the person who has everything
Most of these are bought as gifts, and the season decides the style. The reason people pick a song over another bottle is that nobody else can give the same one. It has their name in it, the story in it, and the picong only your family would dare put in a song.
- For the person who has everything. They already own what they need. They do not own a song about themselves.
- Last minute. Ordered today, delivered tomorrow, so it still works when you have left it late.
- Sending from abroad. No shipping, no customs, no waiting. It is a link, so it arrives the moment you send it.
- For Carnival. A track for your band, your section or the crew, made for this season rather than borrowed from last.
- Group gifts. One song from the whole family, the whole office or the whole band.
Occasions people order for in Trinidad and Tobago
- Carnival. The season builds from Christmas to the Monday and Tuesday before Lent. A personalized soca song lands hardest here.
- J’Ouvert and band launches. A song for your band, your section, or the crew you play mas with.
- Diwali. A public holiday and one of the biggest family occasions of the year. Deyas, the lights, and the house full of people. A chutney or devotional song with the family names in it is the gift nobody else brings.
- Christmas and parang season. Parang is the December sound here. A parang written for your own family is the gift nobody else thought of.
- Independence Day, 31 August. National occasions, school events, workplace celebrations.
- Weddings and maticoor. A song written about the actual couple, in the style the family will actually dance to.
- Birthdays and milestone birthdays. Especially 16, 21, 40, 50 and 60.
- Funerals and tributes. A song about the person, for the service or for the family afterwards.
Lyrics in Trini
We can write the lyrics in Trini rather than standard English, so the song sounds like it came from home instead of from somewhere else.
One example of the kind of detail we get right. In Trinidad the dance is a wine. A wuk up is Bajan. And chutney soca is its own genre with its own rhythm section, not soca with an Indian flavour dropped on top. Getting either of those wrong is how a song announces that nobody involved has been.
Questions people in Trinidad and Tobago ask
What is a unique gift to give someone in Trinidad?
A song written about them. It is the one gift nobody else can duplicate, because it uses their name, their story and the things only your people know. It costs US$19.99 and arrives in 24 hours.
What do you get someone who already has everything?
Something they cannot buy for themselves. A custom song is about them rather than for them. For a Trini that usually means their name, the fete they will never live down, and enough picong to make the room laugh.
Can I get a custom soca song made for Carnival?
Yes, and it is the most common request of the season. A song for your band, your section, or just for somebody with a birthday in the middle of Carnival. Order early in the season rather than the week before Monday and Tuesday.
Do you make chutney soca?
Yes, and we treat it as its own genre rather than soca with an Indian flavour added. Tell us if you want dholak and harmonium in the rhythm section and we build it that way.
Can I get a song made for Diwali?
Yes. Diwali is one of the busiest occasions we write for in Trinidad. Chutney or a devotional song, with the family names in it, for the night itself or as a gift to an elder.
Can I get a parang song written for Christmas?
Yes. Parang is the December sound in Trinidad, and a parang written about your own family is a gift most people have never been given.
Can the lyrics be in Trini dialect?
Yes. Tell us when you order and the lyrics are written in Trini, so the vocal carries the accent rather than flattening it into standard English.
I live overseas. Can I buy a song for family in Trinidad?
Yes, and this is common. You order from wherever you are, and the song arrives as a link you can send to anyone. The buyer and the recipient do not have to be in the same country.
How long does it take to get the song?
24 hours from when you order. If you need it for a specific date, tell us the date when you order.
What if the song is not right?
One free revision included. If a detail is wrong or the feel is off, tell us and we rework it.
Can I play it at a party or use it on social media?
Yes. The song is yours. You get an MP3 you can download, play in the car, put on at the cooler fete, and post.
