Snippet from Liner notes:

"The birth of a music genre is often attributed to a few lucky rebels or musical geniuses who dared challenging the status quo and inspired thousands others in doing so. Lord Shorty’s re-invention of calypso music in the 1970’s was no different, changing the musical landscape forever. With his imposing height of almost 2 meters, Trinidadian born ‘Shorty’ was devoted to (musically) unite the African and Indian cultures, the two major ethnic groups on Trinidad & Tobago. By fusing calypso with Indian rhythms and instruments, or chutney music, he created an exciting new musical hybrid and called it Sokah. As a true Calypsonian, Shorty felt this new sound could well be the answer to Jamaica’s reggae that started overshadowing Trinidad’s calypso at the time. Little did he know that the energetic and syncopated off-beat drum rhythm had far more in store than that.

Sokah, now soca, stands for The Soul of Calypso. It drew its inspiration from many different musical genres such as reggae, latin and zouk which were also airing in Port of Spain and Bridgetown, as well as soul, disco and house ruling in New York, Toronto and London. This influence from different styles and places across the Caribbean, African and Indian diaspora played a big part in soca's growth and success, while popular artists such as Arrow, Machel Montano, Brother Resistance, Lord Nelson and Super Blue helped shape and popularize the genre further in the 80's and 90’s. Even more, it led to soca leaving its mark on new genres such as reggaeton, dancehall, afro house and even EDM. Once you start paying attention, you'll find the soca rhythm along with the steelpan sound everywhere, and rightly so.

Dozens of specific soca styles emerged too. From the early chutney and steelband soca to parang, rapso and many other so-called crossovers. These sub-genres were as much a display of soca’s malleability as it was attesting to its distinctive sound and artistic creativity of its makers. Soon, faster BPM’s started making their entry with Jump & Wave and a whole new generation of artists took the genre to global popularity with smooth R&B flavored groovy soca.

The second release of WATAJ Recordings introduces for the first time Mr. Tony Pianola. A trip inside his conscious and unconscious mind during a night in which dreams, euphoria, lost loves and desires mixed all together give life to “Luce Artificiale”. The result is a pure “Italo-Synth” style influenced by the attraction for the experimental slow disco sensuality.
