In a significant move to celebrate and sustain the rich cultural legacy of Calypso music, the St. Kitts & Nevis National Carnival Committee (SKNNCC) has unveiled its Recording Support Initiative (RSI) for October 2025. This program, designed to empower Calypsonians, offers financial assistance of EC$500 to artists releasing new music during this period. The initiative builds on the momentum of last year’s successful campaign during Sugar Mas 53, aiming to amplify the reach and recognition of Calypso music across traditional radio and digital platforms. By supporting early releases, the SKNNCC ensures that these powerful voices resonate throughout the carnival season, preserving the music, stories, and heritage that define the festival. With over 60 Calypsonians registered in Calypso Tents this year, the upcoming season promises to be a vibrant celebration of talent and tradition. The SKNNCC urges all artists to seize this opportunity to showcase their creativity and connect with broader audiences.
