In partnership with Trinidadian Soca icon Machel Montano, Virgin Islands recording artist Dennis “Pumpa” Liburd has dropped a brand-new Soca song. “Her Mudda” was originally scheduled to be released at the previous Trinidad Carnival, but it was delayed to accommodate Pumpa’s strategic goals.
Pumpa, recognized for his 2023 hit “A-List,” decided to postpone the release of the new track to prevent overshadowing his previous achievement. He mentioned, “I asked Johnny Blaze and Stadic to hold it… because ‘A List’ was going to be my dominant song for the Carnival season.”

The partnership with Montano emerged after several artists showed interest in participating in the project. Pumpa remarked, “A few artists… wanted to be on my song in particular… I basically told Stadic and Johnny Blaze that the only artist I think I may… say, ‘Okay, well, it’s a done deal,’ is Machel.” Once Montano heard the track, he consented to the collaboration.

The song’s release was deliberately scheduled to align with the St. Croix Festival and the forthcoming Trinidad Carnival. Pumpa indicated, “I wanted it to release exactly around this time, so it could have been more catered to St. Croix Festival and roll straight into Trinidad Carnival.”
Reflecting on collaborating with Montano, Pumpa expressed his admiration for the Soca legend’s commitment to excellence, stating, “You definitely understand the reason why Machel is… the greatest of all time when it comes to Soca.” He also recognized the assistance of producers Stadic and Johnny Blaze, highlighting the significance of timing for the song’s launch.
Pumpa, a key figure in the Virgin Islands Soca community, continues to represent his locality on the global stage. He urged fans to support his music on multiple platforms, including Instagram (iampumpa), YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes.
Machel Montano, born on November 24, 1974, in Port of Spain, Trinidad, is celebrated for his dynamic performances and notable contributions to Soca music. His journey began at the age of seven, and he has since established himself as one of the genre’s most powerful artists.
The collaboration between Pumpa and Montano is expected to be a highlight of the upcoming festival season, with plans for joint performances at the St. Croix Festival and Trinidad Carnival.
