New York, NY (BlackNews.com) - Saturday, March 11,
2006 marks the return of Soca Music to New York City. After
a long hiatus, Soca music has found a new home in the heart
of New York City in Soca Passion. Soca Passion is a new monthly
event which combines live performances with a spirited and
energetic dance party.

"Man Ah Bad Man" which topped the Caribbean music charts and
is featured on the compilation "Soca 101" which features a

the accomplishments of artists such as Harry Belafonte,
The Mighty Sparrow, Arrow, David Rudder and more recently
Machel Montano, Rupee and Kevin Lyttle.
"There
are clubs that play a little Soca music as the night
progresses but you would have to dig deep into distant
memory to find a party that has focused on Soca & Calypso
music. This is a historic time for the art form," said

behind Soca Passion. Mr. Thomas is also one of the producers
