Kizomba Overview
The Carnival 2016 season was unforgettable for many soca fans, thanks to a special project that brought fresh energy to the parades. This project blended the vibrant sounds of soca with smooth influences from other genres, especially kizomba. The result was a unique riddim that stood out from the usual carnival tunes. Fans still remember how this music kept the party going from start to finish. Kevon Carter made a big impression with his song "Your Wine." Known for his strong vocals and stage presence, Carter helped set the mood for the whole project. His track invited dancers to move and enjoy the Caribbean spirit. Ragga & Lyrikal teamed up for "Devotion," adding even more excitement. Lyrikal is well known for his hit "Loner," which became popular during the 2019 Trinidad Carnival.

Her voice brought a different style, blending perfectly with the riddim’s mix of soca and kizomba. Each artist played a key role in shaping the sound and mood of the project. The fete composer behind the riddim deserves credit for crafting music that connected with so many people. The careful mix of genres made the songs fresh and exciting.
