DEEJAYS, officials of ANSA McAL and music critics are at present reviewing the entries submitted for this year’s Carib Soca Monarch that will see at least 12 persons competing for $1.5 million if they make it to the final.
More than 30 entries have been accepted but the list of the semi-finalists will be announced today at the ANSA McAL headquarters, Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara.
Once these artistes are announced, they will move full steam ahead for the semi-final of the competition which will be held at the Albion Community Centre Ground on Saturday, February 8.
FEBRUARY 15 FINAL
The finals are set for the National Park on February 15 and will see 12 finalists stepping up their game.
Last year, the quarter-final was held at the MacKenzie Community Centre Ground while the semi-final, which was washed out by rain was held at the Albion Community Centre Ground and the grand finale was staged at the National Park arena before a massive crowd.
There, Jumo “Rubber Waist” Primo retained his title while Kwasi “Ace” Edmondson with his tune “Over and over” took second spot and Adrian Dutchin came in third with his high-energy song, “Jook”.
This year’s show is likely to surpass previous performances with exciting music, creative showmanship, and an explosion of fabulous lyrics as every year, the contestants try to out-perform each other.
