This slow grooving Soca piece takes us to an island somewhere far away. With the ocean breeze on your skin, not a cloud in the sky, and nothing but beautiful blue water in sight, you can sit in Coconut Bay and let all of your worries fade away.

This excellent piece is well composed, has a memorable melody, and offers soloing opportunities. The orchestration is especially excellent, allowing the sound to be filled out while not feeling bombastic. It is also an excellent opportunity to work with your engine room on slower grooves that require finesse and touch. Overall, this is a fantastic short piece that every steel band from intermediate to professional should have in its repertoire.
