  Soca News is Britain's only free A5 monthly magazine specialising in Caribbean music, culture and lifestyle.

Soca music, an evolved form of calypso, has a rapidly expanding following in Britain, with increasing radio airplay and events, which are enthusiastically attended.

Soca is also the music that dominates London's annual Notting Hill Carnival - the biggest, most spectacular outdoor festival in Europe, which attracts approximately two million visitors from all over The world.

Like the music from which the magazine takes its name, Soca News is young, dynamic, innovative and growing all the time. Each month, our team of top writers deliver a refreshing mix of news, interviews, analysis, reviews and previews, on topics as diverse as Caribbean musicians, cuisine, literature, politics, art, festivals, dance and history.

Soca News also caters for the varied musical tastes of its readers by boosting its coverage of soca and related styles such as zouk from Africa and the French Caribbean, chutney, which has East Indian influences and parang which are Christmas carols sung in Spanish, with a hint of jazz, soul and reggae.

Quite simply, Soca News gives its readers all they need to keep up with developments in Caribbean culture in the UK, Europe, North America and the Caribbean.
