Tsunami is a carnival band from Aruba that 24ora, the Aruban news site, describes as one of the best known bands on the island. It has backed a string of singers in the Aruba Caiso and Soca Monarch. Aruba Today's report on the 2024 results lists Tsunami as the band for Power Soca winner Galloway with "Mash Up", for Easy B in third place with "Another One" and second in Groovy Soca with "Togetherness", and for rookie of the year Big Reckless. The band also took the best dressed band award that year. In 2026 Tsunami backed two finalists in the Soca Monarch, Galloway with "Turnaround" and Mitch with "Kurukuchu". In August 2026 24ora reported the release of "Bacchanal & Woman", a soca track written by Brendon Joseph and produced by Rod Benjamin, and in October the band presented "Scat Jam", written by Daddy Bass and Galloway, as its promotional song for Carnival 73. Other releases include "Bacchanal Again" with Daddy Bass and "Blessings" with Blaka Dan.
