Every carnival season there are some songs that provide a natural high on the road, the song where you give your best wine and of course the song that wins Road March because it will get you hype no matter how tired you are. Last year we pumped hard to Ministry of Road by Machel Montano, wined low and slow to Too Real by Kerwin Dubois (BTW both songs won the International Soca Monarch titles in 2014) and floated when Haunted by Machel came on.
And every year when carnival season winds down, we’re never sure the soca artists can beat the previous year — and yet they continue to do so. For 2015, our top carnival season songs and their videos are below. I would be very shocked if you haven’t heard some of these before. Please listen, enjoy and wine slow (it doesn’t matter if you’re at work, take a light bump at your desk)
