Roots Rock Soca is a 1991 calypso album by Black Stalin, a Trinidad-based artist who has won the National Calypso Monarch title multiple times. The record blends Caribbean folk traditions with socially conscious songwriting, moving beyond soca’s reputation as purely party music. Tracks like “Caribbean Unity” and “Black Man Music” showcase his commitment to meaningful lyrics, while “Wait Dorothy Wait” humorously depicts his struggle between writing commercial material and following his social conscience. This compilation draws from more than a decade of his work and was assembled by Caribbean music expert Gene Scaramuzzo, who also transcribed lyrics and provided detailed liner notes.

Released on Rounder Select, this single-disc CD features ten tracks including “De All Season Man,” “We Can Make It,” “Burn Dem,” and “Jah Law.” The album runs approximately 53 minutes and offers a window into the socially aware side of soca music. Grab this used copy and experience Black Stalin’s distinctive approach to Caribbean music.
