Who still here in 2024

Olatunji is a Trinidadian. He is a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago is a Caribbean island. The genre of music he is singing is called Soca music in Trinidad and Tobago. Soca music first started in Trinidad and Tobago by fusing African drums and rhythms with East Indian drums and rhythms. Soca music has evolved over the years to what is its present sound. We in the caribbean have African, East Indian, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Syrian and English ancestry. We are of many different races. We have different cultures, music, food, religions etc. We have a two day street parade in which hundreds of thousands of people parade in costumes and dance to soca music and steelpan or steel drum music. The steel pan or steel drum was also invented in Trinidad and Tobago. It is actually our national instrument. So it is a fair and innocent to assume that Olatunji is a Nigerian because of his African name, his African ancestry and because soca music sounds similar to Nigerian music. It sounds similar because some of our ancestors came from the Mother Land, Africa, hundreds of years ago during slavery. Let us celebrate the long journey this genre has made and just enjoy and appreciate this feel-good music of love, peace, joy and good vibes.

Haitian-American here...I'm in the office and my shoulders CAN'T STOP MOVING! I'm trying to move in silence, but I can't. hahaha Rhythm is overloading my system.

Tunji Takes This riddim!

I think he found it, that crossover of soca grove/calypso vibes and still sweet enough to be in the African circuit that spreading across the world. BIG FORWARD on this track. Great job, hope the other upcoming artiste take a page out of your book.

Love the fusion mix brother Ras Shorty AKA lord Shorty (He is the man that fused the African & East Indian rhythm to bring us SOCA) wonderful work well done -see below for a much better description of the origins of SOCA. #bostoncarnivalvillage

Africa and the Caribbean are one! The enslaved brought their African culture to the Caribbean ; the music, styles, food, traditions. It's all DNA! Colonizers tried hard to suppress the culture but clearly it didn't work. Stop the race and culture division please

wawww 1st soca to actually reach a million views in such short space of time & also b4 carnival...thats wen u know a gr8 song!.....#standupola

Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of the comments section is to say whatever you want regarding the video. You can say good and you can say bad...you have that right to do so. People, please understand this and try not to create a silly battle of words over a song, which is supposed to have the sole purpose of radiating the complete opposite vibe. Individuals are meant to have their own opinion. Individualism is something that some say the West Indies lacks. Don't prove that correct.

we are all Africans! carribean ppl are displaced Africans. without Africa. there would be no us! no musics! nothing. ppl stop arguing and learn your history!

I'm From west Africa and the other side of my family is from Trinidad and I honestly don't see a different between the both of us. Our music is practically the same. So stop the arguing because we're all equal!

Come on people this is our own the song may not have all the lyrical that"s is required. But i must say it"s a beautiful and well constructed musical harmony and quite infectious. Well done Ola the key is consistency and just keep loving the culture. In life you may not be able to please everyone but once you are satisfied its what matters. juicy juice!

Puerto Rican here I love soca 😍

From South Africa this guy is the great in perfect combination of love an Talent. From X factor I search if he have release an he's very good. They made mistake to let him go he was very good...

This song is the best!! Anyone who truly appreciates music and the artists who create and perform these songs, will know that there are no borders, cultures, race or any other differences that defines this music. It's meant for all to enjoy, and anyone who seeks to differentiate it is simply ignorant. :)

This song will still be hot 30 yrs from now. Good job Olatunji.

for those who are unfamiliar...olatunji been doin this for years....check out his 2007 song GET WILD(pace)....his 2013 tune WAH DO from the soca future riddim. his 2012 tune DEY DEY.....also check out his tune "phonetics" his tune wit shurwayne winchester "disorderly"(pace). just last year he had nice tunes "play ah mas" wit iwer George. "mad up in this"(pace) from the jab jab riddim and "what we know" from the carnival riddim....he has a list of good songs but....politics...anyone who opts to youtube these songs. let me know what you think

I heard this on the radio maybe a year or two ago here in the US in Virginia and had the hardest time finding it. Love this song.

I come from Trinidad and I love this song

Bess song in the Kan Kan Riddim, Olatunji is BOSS

soca its child of african music with faster riddim and beats and horn and other instrument it does not matter way you from if you a soul you would love this song. ps we all came from africa. one love to all

Olatunji said his music genre is one of a kind, Afro-Soca

The Caribbean soca will always stand out the best in the world

Im from Philippines I Love Soca ! Super asim!😂

Reading all these comments with people fighting back and forth as to the origin of the artist. The problem lies with black people always fighting against each other and tracing our roots shows we are all from the same place. We maybe from a different Island/country and possess different cultures and views but we are all the same. No one is more superior than the other, and we should be celebrating and accepting each other's culture. Just enjoy the song and pass the bullshit already! Get a grip!

To all me people weather u from india, brazil , africa, caribbean or a place that god say u can see ,right now pretend u infront the mirror and ask the lord to give u some time now , because in this life we all love the music so my people let enjoy and big up the effort this guy did to put this song on lablel go bless him for ever love all a u and god bless all a u one love

Whenever I hear this song... I HAVE to dance because the beat and melody are just so.... amazing..I just cant

I'm mexican and soca really gives me power

I'm an American but love this

I love it...we are true to our music it's original, not borrowed or on loan from anywhere else. With that said the beats and instruments can cause anyone to be confused, soca, hip-hop and several other styles of music does incorporate that african influence but this brother is 100% Trinidian. We are very proud of him!

I from Trinidad and we are the best soca music in the country.

X factor bring me here.

Love this soca song from a Great Trinidadian performer. Love Trinidad Love the West Indies.

im guyanese american, and best believe im bumpin this right now lol. nuff love to my african island people them and my west indian brothers and sisters. RESPECT

Finally a soca song i like.

I'm from germany and I love this type of music. One Love ! :)

ok, next vacation I'm going to Trinidad

Trinidad is the birthplace for this type of music. Like many other things that we have in Trinidad that might have roots elsewhere but originated and evolved in Trinidad

From Togo 🇹🇬

looks like olatunji is going international #Proud

Shame that too many of us in the Caribbean countries have completely sold out to colonial mentality of anti-African. No wonder we still borrow from the Chinese and the Indians. When are we going to join our fellow Africans so we can be proud of our African heritage. We don't want to be a slave forever to the system

Proud to be part Carribean❤️❤️

What's the difference, Trinidadians I consider all as one people. We country is full of diversity just as many Caribbean islands. African, Indian, white, Chinese. We all one people. Cyah believe dis is all over a chune like this 😶
