OLATUNJI- Trinidad / Afro-Soca Night.

Olatunji origin is African-Yoruban.
The meaning of Olatunji is honor reawakens.
The son of calypsonian and pannist Eddie Yearwood and the Trinidadian actress and theater director Mairoon Ali, Olatunji grew up in a house filled with African art and fashions. “Ola” wasn’t his first local hit in Trinidad, but it’s where he found his voice, his soaring tenor blending seamlessly with the song’s West African choral arrangement. “It’s a major influence on me right now because it’s really working for me,” Olatunji says of the afrobeats influence. “In a major way. [Afro soca] is going to be my sound.”

Soca Is Absorbing Afrobeats To Create A New subgenre Caribbean and African artists like Olatunji, Machel Montano, and Timaya are reaching across the Atlantic to create a global Carnival sound.
