Soca
Lord Shorty aka Ras Shorty I, claims to have invented soca in the 1970's, saying in 1979 "Soca is calypso...it's the nucleus of calypso, the soul." (Quoted from Taylor, Jeremy, "Trinidad and Tobago: an introduction and guide", Macmillan Education, 1991). Originally influenced by American Soul it has progressed to embrace influences from Indian rhythms to dub.
