ソカ is a traditional dance and music genre originating from the Caribbean, particularly associated with the island of Trinidad and Tobago. It is characterized by its upbeat tempo and lively rhythms, often featuring instruments like drums, brass, and electronic sounds. The dance is typically performed during festivals and carnivals, celebrating cultural heritage and community spirit. The term "ソカ" itself is derived from a combination of soca and calypso, reflecting its roots in these musical styles. Over the years, ソカ has evolved, incorporating various influences and becoming popular in other regions, especially during carnival celebrations in places like Brazil and Caribbean islands.
