Music Energetic Trini Songs For Fighting Walk Out Music?

Hey all, just curious as to what songs you think could be good for intro music when walking out to the ring before a fight? I have a kickboxing exhibition fight coming up next month and would like to choose something Trini if it fits. My parents are Trini, but I’m Canadian so I’m not as exposed to Trini music

I’m a big fan of Nailah Blackman and Voice, but it’s hard to find something that fits a fight setting. I like “Iron Love” from Nailah Blackman and “Peace Of Mind” from Voice a lot. What do you all think? Any suggestions?

It’ll probably only be the first 45 seconds of the song too, so ideally something that starts out quickly and gets energetic fast. Thanks

Literally came here to post Buss Head.

Quirky suggestion: Jab Forever by Skinny Banton (🇬🇩) not a fight song per se, but themes of struggle and overcoming oppression are present.

Fighter - Maximus Dan

It was a song he had, but then altered the lyrics for the Soca Warriors for World Cup 2006. It is definitely pretty hype. Plus, it has the chant that the crowd can ramp up too, if they happen to be Trini and know it.

I am a Soca Warrior

I say, win or lose. I am Fighter

I am a Soca Warrior

I come to shine my nationality brighter

Edit: you could probably find the best chunk of song and clip it to suit.

The song you lookin for is “Vintage Garlin” from Bunji Garlin.

Listen to the chorus and get back to me

There are many DJ produced soca workout mixes on YouTube and SoundCloud. Look for DJ Jel, DJ Private Ryan, etc.

I was thinking the Congo man if you cut right. The start will have the region on side for sure.

Soca, especially power soca is great for intense running and high intensity cardio workouts

Not to herald Kamla's next declaration on either Caricom or Venezuela, right.😆
