International Artist Tefkemet Unleashes Carnival Energy with “Soca-Mash It Up” — A Tribute to Trinidadian Roots

Trinidad and Tobago — Caribbean party season just found its anthem. Internationally acclaimed musician, producer, and performer Tefkemet drops his explosive new single, “Soca-Mash It Up,” released on December 10, 2023. This track is a vibrant celebration of Trinidadian culture, born from the heartbeat of Port of Spain and infused with the wild rhythm of the Caribbean Carnival.

“Soca-Mash It Up” calls listeners to wine, wave, and let loose to a sound inspired by Tefkemet’s Trinidadian heritage and street festival upbringing. Set against a backdrop of lush island visuals and blazing Caribbean sunshine, the song’s pulsating grooves and infectious hooks are designed to mash up dance floors from Queen’s Park Savannah to global stages.

This single is more than music—it’s a testament to Tefkemet’s Trinidadian upbringing, honoring calypso and soca traditions while channeling the resilience and creativity of the diaspora. Raised in a family with deep roots in Trinidad and now thriving in the States, Tefkemet draws upon steel pan culture, Caribbean rhythms, and the urban energy of Brooklyn and Florida to create a sound that bridges continents.

With its infectious riddim and high-energy vocals, “Soca-Mash It Up” has been featured on WPRK 91.5 FM Radio, connecting local and global audiences through its airplay power. The song has become an audience favorite at live performances, including festival appearances and club sets, where Tefkemet’s stage show commands celebrations worthy of Carnival

The cover art and release echo Tefkemet’s connection to home: palm trees arch overhead, Carnival spirit burns in every beat, and the iconic Trinidad & Tobago flag anchors the roots. With every bar, Tefkemet channels memories of masquerade bands, steelpan parades, and childhood weekends spent soaking in the soca energy that shaped his artistry.
