Hope, written by composer, performer and educator Jeff Narell, weaves nicely between reggae and soca. It is written for beginning skill level and makes a great first tune for middle and early high school steel bands. This tune has a nice, easy groove, and could easily be taught by rote.
Trinidad is a slow tempo, easy groove that will introduce the typical rhythmic feel of “old-time” Calypso, a variation using the “two drop” Calypso feel and straight ahead Soca.
