A dynamic ensemble of nine calypsonians has officially clinched their positions in the highly anticipated Calypso Finals, setting the scene for a spectacular musical confrontation on February 14th at Windsor Park Sports Stadium. The selection process culminated during intense quarterfinal bouts held on Saturday, January 31st at the same venue, where performers competed for judicial approval and a coveted spot in the championship round.
The elite roster of artists advancing to compete for the monarch title includes Abiyah, Nacheal, Karessa, Jaydee, Daddy Chess, Tasha P, Redz, The Bobb, and Checker. This diverse group of musical talents will face the formidable challenge of dethroning the reigning calypso sovereign, Joy Stoute, in what promises to be a memorable Valentine’s Day extravaganza.
Adding strategic depth to the competition framework, event organizers have designated three reserve performers: De Web, Calpha P, and Observer. These designated substitutes stand ready to seamlessly enter the competition should any primary finalist encounter unforeseen circumstances preventing their participation.
The upcoming finals represent not merely a competition but a celebration of cultural expression through calypso music, combining artistic excellence with competitive spirit. This event continues the rich tradition of calypso championships that serve as both entertainment and social commentary within the community.
