The Trinidad and Tobago Unified Calypsonians' Organization (TUCO) has published the names of the twenty five semi-finalists for this year's Humorous Calypso Monarch Competition. Surprisingly the list of names was published on TUCO's Facebook page and not on the Official TUCO Website. That is the one complaint I have because the official website should be the first place any official news should be published.
The following information was sourced from the TUCO press release on their Facebook Page; you can access the TUCO page at the following link: TUCO Trinidad and Tobago on Facebook
