The CPMC announces updates to its list of qualifiers for the Calypso Monarch Competition after former multiple monarch, Minelle, announced her withdrawal from competition to cater to unforeseen challenges. As a result of the withdrawal, two artistes whose points were tied, will now participate in this year’s competition. These artistes are J’Urgen and Dycer Fontellio.
The updated list of artistes and songs selected to advance to the next stage of competition is as follows. Note that the qualifying artistes are listed in alphabetical order, and not indicative of scores or judging preferences.
The CPMC wishes Minelle and all qualifiers the best as we move into the final round of competition. The Finals of the Calypso Monarch Competition, will be held on Saturday, July 9 at the SAAB, Vigie. Tickets cost $50 and are available for purchase at The Cell outlets island wide, and Steve’s Barbershop in Castries. Other ticket outlets will be announced in the coming days.
