Soca artiste 5Star Akil, as he premieres the Lyric Video for his 6th Soca single for the 2017 Carnival season, “HERO”.
HERO
noun | he·ro |ˈhir-(ˌ)ō
1. a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character:
“5Star Akil became a Carnival HERO when his new song was released and infected T&T with an insane soca rhythm – reminiscent of classic Calypso music, sung by Calypso greats such as Sparrow and Lord Kitchener yet fused with a modern, pulsating soca beat.”
HERO relives those days when Calypso was king, creating that nostalgic feeling of jammin’ and whinin’ down to the live band music of Calypso tents such as Calypso Spektacular, while delivering a road friendly track that’s a sure fête pleaser.
