SOCA star Machel Montano believes greater investment in arts and culture is needed.
He said while for young calypsonians and soca artistes being part of the Soca Monarch contest might seem exciting and had done a lot for people’s careers, it was now a shifting world.
He also spoke to why he believed this was a time for unity and not competitions. He also reconfirmed that he would be defending his Calypso Monarch crown for Carnival 2025.
Montano spoke as he and Dwayne “DJ Bravo” Bravo unveiled their collaborative riddim, Pineapple, which features Montano, Patrice Roberts, Lyrikal, Barbadian soca icon Rupee and new artiste 47 Ronzy.
The launch of the riddim took place at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, on December 18.
The riddim is a collaborative effort between their studios, 47 Productions and Monk Music. Read More
