Chutney Soca Monarch Semi Finalists | Trinidad 2014

Last year's Chutney Soca Monarch, Raymond Ramnarine, will defend his title next Saturday February 1, 2014 despite being short changed $200,000.00 of last year's first prize purse. Despite all the name calling and blame placed for the first prize 'short change' the show will go on as scheduled. This year the promoter of the event, George Singh, promises to host the biggest show to date (maybe some of that expenditure should be used to pay KI).

During the semi final round text votes will be allowed and will account for 20% of the total score. The other 80% will be awarded by a judging panel at the show. So are you ready for the bacchanal to start? Below is a player with most of the songs that will be sung on the night of the competition - if you plan to watch then you should listen to the music provided by the player on this post.
