Caribbean Summer Carnivals are wrapping up quickly and today we are piggybacking on information provided by Caribbean Insight TV's YouTube channel to bring you the results of the Saint Lucia Calypso Monarch competition. The cycle is moving fast and very soon, yes, very soon, Mecca will be in the spotlight again. But we must address the Lucian Calypso Monarch results first. It appears that support for the show has dropped considerably. Overall, Calypso is struggling across the Caribbean, and something needs to be done to address this issue.
Kaiso, Kaiso? Yes, Kaiso! Sokah2Soca celebrates the lyrical brilliance and cultural fire of this year’s Calypso Monarch Finals, held at The Sab in Vigie on July 12. After a fierce showdown of wit, rhythm, and social commentary, Dezral has reclaimed his crown with commanding performances of “The Kaiso Goat” and “The Immigrant,” earning 766 points and securing his second consecutive title.
? Top Four Placements/Winners:
? Dezral (Fire One Tent)—The Kaiso Goat, The Immigrant—766 pts
? TC Brown (Kaiso Pros Tent)—My Choice, Kaiso—764 pts
? LuShanne (South Calypso Tent)—How We Love Thee, Crown Them—755 pts
?️ Educator (Fire One Tent)—Drunk Cars, Great Again—742 pts
From satire to soul-searching, the finalists delivered two rounds of potent performances that lit up the stage and stirred the crowd. Dezral’s tribute to calypso legends and his lyrical evolution as “the Kid” destined to inherit the GOAT mantle was a standout moment.
Let's drop some flowers and a special thanks to Caribbean Insight TV for capturing the magic and providing detailed coverage of the event. The video we provide for this post is available on the YouTube page of Caribbean Insight TV, along with many more Caribbean cultural events.
Stay tuned as Sokah2Soca continues to spotlight the voices shaping Caribbean music and identity. Calypso lives on! ???
