Arrow: King of Soca - Official

Born in Montserrat, Alphonsus “Arrow” Cassell carried the spirit of his island to the world. From his roots in calypso, he helped shape soca into a global sound, blending Caribbean rhythm with cadence, salsa, African influences, American R&B, pop, and dance music. His 1983 anthem “Hot Hot Hot” became more than a hit song, it became a worldwide celebration, heard at Carnivals, festivals, stadiums, parties, and dance floors across generations. With his powerful voice, joyful energy, and fearless creativity, Arrow opened doors for Caribbean music and showed how the sound of a small island could move the whole world. His legacy remains a source of pride for Montserrat, the Caribbean, and everyone who believes music can unite people across cultures.
