BARBADOS — RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA

Does Red Plastic Bag once rule Barbados…? You better believe it.

One of All Around This World’s favorite soca songs is “Ragga Ragga,” a mid-’90s Caribbean mega-hit by Bajan musician Stedson Wilshire, otherwise known as “Red Plastic Bag,” “RPB” or even just “Bag.” In the song RPB declares his general disdain for ragga music, in which deejays speak, sometimes incomprehensibly, over a pounding beat.
