Get Some Of @KesTheBand’s “Cocoa Tea” In Your Life!


It’s a new week, and some of us are having a hard time adjusting for the busy days. For some of us, we never wanted the weekend to end, but life doesn’t work like that. Fortunately, there is always something or someone who is there to keep you going. For Kes, we learn about, “Cocoa Tea“.

Produced by Tano, Kes and the band come through with a dedication to that Woman who is definitely “Ms. Pick Me Up” in “Cocoa Tea”. When it comes to your person, nothing can ruin your day when they’re in it. For the sunny days, for the rainy ones, you two become a bubbling pot of fun, love, and lasting memories. Over some smooth production, the song comes at a good time as it’s getting chilly, and we’re gonna need a “live blanket“. Come 2025, Kes will be celebrating a 20 year career, and make it a moment at the IZWE 25 concert at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Trinidad. Play the new tune for your lover.

It’s Time To “Banga” To @KesTheBand’s New Single


What’s more exciting than new music? Quite a few things really, but nothing beats hearing music that has you hooked from the beginning. Big up all the Artists who are busy at their craft, including Trini Artist Kes with the new single, “Banga“.

Produced by Tano, “Banga” is the track that’s made for the standout couples, the couples who make a scene, and the couple who knows how to make every moment special. Kes always has his listeners in a chokehold when he releases music, and we expect this to be holding its place in various Playlists over the coming weeks. Kes is currently touring in the US, and if you want to catch him live, be sure to check out his Socials for dates and venues that’s convenient for you. Grab your partner and hold a vibe, it’s time for some banga!

Pick Up & Run With These Current Dancehall X Soca Hits!


The 2019 Carnival season is officially on its way, and Dancehall artists are teaming up with Soca’s finest stars for various collaborations. It’s definitely a good look for the genres as it gives them more leverage to different markets, even after the seasons is done. Carnival is an International brand with different cities and countries around the world hosting their own. With more interest in the Caribbean culture over the years, it’s a pivotal moment for Dancehall and Soca to make a greater push for the International market with these collaborations. For those unfamiliar, the Jamaican love affair with Soca and Carnival dates back to the 1940s at the University of the West Indies (Mona Campus), and the collaborations over time are just great moments in this ever growing union. With their feel good vibes and ability to bring people together, the collaborations will continue. Today we’re featuring a few of the Dancehall x Soca crossovers that are currently making waves on the scene.
