Dear Editor,
I believe Guyana needs to make the changes in the categories for the 2015 Carib Monarch Competition.
The way I see it is that “Still In The Game” by Kwasi (Carib Soca Monarch 2014) falls under the category of Groovy Soca and “On The Road” by Jumo is definitely in the Power Soca category. So, I will not agree with anyone who says that Jumo was dethroned by Kwasi, because it was not a level playing field of tunes.
From where I was on Mash Day 2014, I never heard “Still In The Game” played once, when it is customary for the winning song to be played on Mash Day. Perhaps it was played along the journey to the National Park. I do have both songs on my music system and I like them both.
Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
