ST. JOHN’S, Antigua — Cricket West Indies (CWI) has unleashed a rallying cry for fans across the region and the diaspora with the official launch of its new team anthem, “Full Ah Energy”, a pulsating Soca anthem reimagined by Trinidad and Tobago’s rising star, Mical Teja.
The track, a vibrant rework of Teja’s 2025 Carnival hit “Energy”, has been infused with the magnetic rhythm of the Caribbean and tailored specifically to echo the spirit of West Indies cricket.
The anthem arrives as the perfect prelude to the West Indies Women’s and Men’s Home Series, which will welcome South Africa, Australia, and Pakistan to Caribbean shores this summer. More than a song, “Full Ah Energy” is set to become a regional movement, a shared heartbeat for players and fans alike.
Cricket meets carnival: A cultural collision
From the stadiums to the streets, “Full Ah Energy” embodies the dynamic synergy between Caribbean music and cricket. It’s an anthem that pulsates with pride, celebrates resilience, and invites the world to witness the unyielding spirit of the West Indies.
“We are thrilled to partner with Mical Teja, one of the most exciting, young voices in Soca music today, to bring this anthem to life,” declared Lynford Inverary, Chief Operating Officer of CWI. “Full Ah Energy speaks to the passion and resilience of our players and fans, and the marriage that exists between cricket and music here in the Caribbean. It reflects who we are as a people—dynamic, fearless, and full of spirit.”
A movement in motion: Uniting generations
Mical Teja, whose name is fast becoming synonymous with Soca innovation, expressed deep pride in contributing to a cause so close to the region’s heart.
“Cricket is part of who we are in the West Indies,” Teja shared. “To produce a West Indies cricket variation of ‘Energy’ to unite the region and energize West Indies fans showcases the synergy between our culture and cricket. These two pillars are a source of pride for all of us, and it is an honour for me to contribute to both.”
“Full Ah Energy is more than a song—it is a movement and a message: our energy is infectious, and on the field, our cricket is a reflection of that.”
Beyond the boundary: Taking the anthem to the people
The campaign is not confined to stadium walls or digital screens. CWI is extending the reach of “Full Ah Energy” into schools and communities across the region, using music as a bridge to inspire the next generation.
“This campaign is about more than just cricket. It represents our ongoing commitment to deepening our connection with our communities,” Inverary noted. “Full Ah Energy gives us a platform to engage with a wide audience, particularly our young people, in fun, meaningful ways, encouraging them to move, dance, play, and be active.”
From school visits to interactive experiences, the initiative aims to spark energy, health, and pride among Caribbean youth—ensuring the future of West Indies cricket is both vibrant and deeply rooted in community.
Gearing up for a summer of cricket and culture
“Full Ah Energy” will power promotional campaigns and fan activations across television, social media, and in-venue entertainment throughout the home series. Fans can already catch the lyric video on Cricket West Indies’ official YouTube channel, with the full audio release soon to follow on major streaming platforms.
The action begins in June, as the West Indies Women’s team faces South Africa in three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three T20 Internationals (T20Is). The men’s squad then takes center stage against Australia in Test and T20I matches, before wrapping the summer against Pakistan in thrilling T20I and ODI clashes.
With cricket’s return to Caribbean grounds, “Full Ah Energy” promises to be the anthem that carries the heartbeat of a region ready to rise.
