What is House Music?

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the 1980s in Chicago. The term was coined by DJ Frankie Knuckles, who helped to popularize the genre with his club The Warehouse. House music is characterized by a steady 4/4 beat, often with a prominent kick drum on the first and third beat, and sometimes with a hi-hat or clap on the second and fourth beat. The tempo is usually around 120 bpm, but can range from 110 bpm to 130 bpm. House music often features synthesizers, drum machines, and samples of disco or funk songs.

What is Soca?

Soca is a genre of Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 1970s. Soca is a blend of Soul, Calypso, and Indian influences. The name “soca” was coined by Lord Kitchener in 1976 during a melody he was trying to create. The song he ended up creating was called “the soul of calypso.” The genre later took on other elements, such as Hip-Hop and Rap. Soca is now a very popular genre in the Caribbean and is often played at Carnival celebrations.
