Live Mix: J’OUVERT JAM – DJ MIKA LIVE AT DARLING’S – TUNAPUNA (2024)

Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of the Soca season with my latest creation – a J’ouvert mix inspired by this year’s festivities. The so-called J’ouvert Morning, the ceremonial prelude to the official Carnival (like in Trinidad and Tobago), is a night filled with paint, powder, oil, and the pulsating beats of the hottest Soca tracks often played off huge music trucks. Experience the essence of this exhilarating tradition as you turn up your speakers and let the rhythm take control. My special selection, recorded live at ‘Darling’s‘ in Tunapuna, Trinidad and Tobago, captures the electrifying atmosphere of J’ouvert Morning. Join the celebration and let the percussive versions of the latest and most sought-after Soca tunes in very special versions transport you to the heart of the Carnival spirit. Get ready to dance, revel, and embrace the infectious joy of the J’ouvert Jam!

DECEMBER  2022 – FELIZ NAVIDAD & MERRY CHRISTMAS!
 
Live Mix: PARANG PARANG – AUTHENTIC & ORIGINAL – TRINIDAD CHRISTMAS (2022)

Mixed by DJ MIKA RAGUAA

This is my Christmas gift for you. May this festive season bring lots of joy and happiness to your life. May your wishes and dreams come true, and may you feel this happiness all year round.
Merry Christmas from your DJ MIKA.

The mix includes classics from the early years of Parang music but also brand new exclusive releases, from the band with the beautiful name of „Los Angeles de San Miguel“ from Diego Martin in Trinidad and Tobago. For more than forty years they spread joy around the birth of the holy king and embrace the spirit of Christmas from year to year in an authentic and traditional style.


The instruments used in the mix are essential for Parang music. The box bass is (besides the steel pan) another invention from the small twin island in the Caribbean. Maracas, rattles, chac chacs, and the four-string guitar, also known as cuatro create the sound of the Parang. The roots are in Venezuela, still, Trinidad and Tobago started its style out of the so-called Parranda. Learn more about it at www.ttmusiclibrary.com – the virtual music archive for the sound of Trinidad and Tobago.
