In September, soca music lovers came together across both Tokyo and Chiba for four days of Caribbean-themed festivities, organized by the group Soca in Japan. Distinct from Brazilian samba, Soca is a musical genre that originated in Trinidad and Tobago with roots in Africa and East India. Japan’s community of soca enthusiasts is also growing says Kegon Toussaint.

“We’re building a bridge between Japan and the Caribbean through music,” says Toussaint, the president of Soca in Japan who also hails from the birthplace of the style. “No matter where you live, no matter where you’re born, what race or ethnicity you are, there’s always something that connects us. For those attending Carnival in Japan, that connection is soca music. It’s bringing people together and creating that sense of happiness.” Read more about the festival with the link in our bio.
