While steelband aficionados converged at Queens Park Savannah, another notable competition took place down south at Skinner Park, San Fernando. It was time for the Chutney Soca Monarch Competitions. Yes, I said competitions since a Chutney Soca Monarch, Queen of Chutney Soca, Intellectual Chutney Monarch, and Traditional Chutney Monarch were crowned on that night.
So let's catch up with all the monarchs at this time:
- The newly crowned Chutney Soca Monarch is Rick "Rick Ram" Ramoutar. He sang a song titled "Luuuzzaarr."
- The newly crowned Queen of Chutney is Rawytee Ramroop.
- The Intellectual Chutney Crown was won by Nailah Blackman. She sang a song titled "Jam of the Year.".
- The Traditional Chutney Crown was won by Rakesh Yankaran.
Congratulations are extended to all the winners and those who participated in the competition.
