Two newcomers stole the show and took the top honours when the Soca and Chutney Monarch competitions concluded last Saturday.
Gospel singer Samuel Medas was crowned the new Soca Monarch, while Kevin Satrohan Singh was crowned the Chutney Monarch. They were also the recipients of the Best Newcomer awards in their respective competitions, which saw a total of 20 talents vying for the honours when the curtains were raised by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport at the National Cultural Centre (NCC).
Medas took the stage by storm with a spectacular performance of his song ‘Stadium,’ which left little doubt that he would be crowned the new Soca Monarch by the end of the night.
