In honor of the St. Thomas, USVI carnival, the below songs are classics that are often played during its carnival.

• The Awesome Jamband–Music from The VI (Click here for the song) Most Virgin Islanders would agree that you cannot have their carnival without hearing a Jamband song! This band is on the the list three times.  It speaks to how influential their music is on the VI Carnival. 

• Xtaushun–Energy (Click here for the song ):  Perfect festival song for the VI Carnival!

• The Awesome Jamband–Showtime (Click here for the song): Once again Jamband returns with another classic “Showtime”.  The song captures the essence of being on the road during Carnival.  Another VI classic!

• Cool Session Brass–Alle (Click here for the song): a cool down song that still captures VI Soca.  

• Spectrum Band–Cyan Mash Up Carnival (Click here to hear the song) This song was a smash.  The song is about Hurricanes Irma and Maria (two category 5 hurricanes that hit the VI in 2017) not being able to stop the 2018 Carnival.

• The Awesome Jam Band–Throw Back Batty (Click here to listen to this song):  Once again, Jamband returns to the list!  This song is a certified classic! Released more than 20 years ago, it is still a staple song in the VI community!
