Registration opens for the International Soca Monarch on Monday 21 January

Soca artistes in and out of the Caribbean can now brace themselves for a chance to compete in the finals of International Soca Monarch on Fantastic Friday, 1 March 2019 in Trinidad & Tobago. The dates for registration and the list of events were announced at a press conference on Tuesday, 15 January with newly appointed chairperson of the Caribbean Prestige Foundation for the Performing Arts, Fay-Ann Lyons Alvarez.

Registration: Monday, 21 January to Friday, 25 January 2019

Announcement of Semi-finalists: Saturday, 26 January 2019

International Soca Monarch Semi-finals: Sunday, 10 February 2019 at Arima Velodrome

International Soca Monarch Finals: Friday, 1 March 2019 at Queen’s Park Savannah

Fay-Ann, famously known for winning both Power & Groovy Soca Monarch competitions in 2009 while pregnant was happy to announce that the separation of 2 Soca categories is back for this year’s competition. In 2016 the International Soca Monarch (ISM) held one competition that judged all speeds of Soca that saw Voice winning consecutively for 3 years.

As the new chairperson of the foundation, she believes in ensuring that the ISM is more than a one-time event on Carnival Friday, but rather seen as a festival. Lyons Alvarez is excited to create avenues for young upcoming artistes and to incorporate social media platforms in marketing which were not present years ago.

Famalay now #1 on iTunes Reggae Chart

Exactly one week after being released, Famalay by Skinny Fabulous, Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin became the number one song in the world from the Caribbean on the iTunes Reggae Top 100 chart. The song just bumped Bob Marley & the Wailers’ famous Three Little Birds into the number 2 spot.

Famalay, produced by Dada music & International Stephen is likely to become an anthem for Trinidad’s carnival season and ripple into the Caribbean’s carnival calendar.

What is being dubbed as the craziest collaboration in Soca merges talents in the Southern Caribbean: Soca genius Skinny Fabulous from St. Vincent & the Grenadines, the ultimate lyricist Bunji Garlin & Soca King Machel Montano from Trinidad & Tobago, DJ and producer International Stephen from Trinidad based in St. Lucia, and DaDa Music from Dominica.
