We recently posted the King of the Bands finalists and the final places for Carnival 2025. Today we complement that post with the finals of the Queens of the Carnival bands and the eventual placement for all eleven queens who participated. In the end, the beauty and grandeur of Roxane Omalo's "Sirena, Mistress of the Seas" emerged as the winner.
All our Carnival Lagniappe posts feature videos from WACK Visual Radio 90.1FM. We are thankful to Mr. Kenny Phillips for granting us permission to use these videos. Our goal is to provide a 'go-to' site to come back and review the portrayals 'on demand.' Enjoy the performances.
As we celebrate the creativity and talent showcased during the event, we invite everyone to relive the magic through these captivating videos. Stay tuned for more updates and highlights from this year's festivities, as we continue to honor the vibrant spirit of our community.

Let us promote the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
Our mission is to advance music producers, performers, and Caribbean culture. Your support helps us celebrate and elevate the vibrant sounds and stories of the Caribbean. We can all work together to make sure that this rich cultural legacy continues to inspire creativity and connection while reaching a larger audience. You should always purchase music for sale but refrain from sharing promotional music, as it deprives the artists, producers, and songwriters of vital income.
