Chutney in Yuh Soca

An arts documentary examining the phenomenon of "chutney soca", a musical hybrid from Trinidad & Tobago which blends the traditions of the islands' two biggest ethnic groups - Indian and African. As much political as musical, "chutney soca" seems to offer a way for the two cultures, often perceived as being mutually antagonistic, to come together in a new exciting fusion of sounds. (Synopsis by Karen Martinez)
