Kaiso 365 Calypso Monarch Semi-Finals were held on Sunday July 14 at Spade Bar and Lounge. It was a great turnout. There were some new faces vying to make it to the finals like Naki, Lando Hooks, Slimmer from Edmonton, Blocker, and Shakalaka along with familiar calypsonians like Connector, Susan G, The Crooner, Boots, Bajan Brown Sugar, King Cosmos, Panman Pat and Yellows. While waiting for the judges results, the crowd was entertained by the reigning Queen seven-time winner Macomere Fifi who reminded us why she won last year with her song “We Don’t Want to Know”. Let’s not forget Princess Trinidad who had the crowd in stitches over her new song Billy Goat.
