Antigua’s Queen Ge’eve arrives in Montserrat ahead of regional calypso contest

Montserrat prepares to host the region’s most exceptional female calypso talent as performers converge for the highly anticipated Queen of Queens Regional Calypso Competition, scheduled for December 30, 2025. Among the distinguished participants is Antigua and Barbuda’s reigning calypso monarch, Queen Ge’eve, who has already arrived on the island to finalize preparations for the prestigious event.

The competition will showcase the extraordinary artistry of leading female calypsonians from across the Caribbean basin, each vying for the coveted Queen of Queens designation. Queen Ge’eve, having secured her national title in Antigua, is poised to deliver a powerful musical presentation that reflects both her technical mastery and cultural heritage.

Event organizers emphasize that the gathering serves a dual purpose: to highlight the remarkable diversity and creative power of women within the calypso tradition while simultaneously celebrating the broader tapestry of Caribbean cultural expression and musical excellence. The competition has been strategically positioned as a cornerstone of Montserrat’s year-end cultural festivities, anticipated to attract substantial audiences comprising both local residents and international visitors.

The theatrical presentation is scheduled to commence at 8:00 PM local time. Patrons are advised to arrive early to secure seating for what promoters are characterizing as one of the season’s most significant cultural spectacles, promising an evening of vibrant performances and rhythmic innovation that underscores the enduring vitality of calypso music.
