Soca was created by combining traditional East Indian music with calypso music to form soca. This was first done by an artist named Garfield Blackman in 1973. He was widely known for his calypso music, but when reggae began to popularize he decided to try out something different which was later called named soca music by a music journalist. He continued on his career to make lots of Soca music and had many hit songs such as “watch out my children” which was a song about not doing drugs. This song hit #1 in the Caribbean and got translated into 10 different languages.
