Soca (also known as Soul Calypso) is a style of Caribbean music originating in Trinidad and Tobago. Soca developed as an offshoot of Kaiso/calypso, with influences from Cadence-lypso, Soul, Funk and Indian musical instruments. The presence of a large Indian population in Trinidad blended traditional Indian musical instruments—particularly the dholak, tabla and dhantal—into a style called chutney music.Soca has evolved in the last 20 years primarily by musicians from various Anglophone Caribbean countries including Trinidad, Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados,Grenada, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, United States Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, The Bahamas, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Jamaica, Belize, Montserrat andPanama.
