Calvin Burnett’s song “HandyMan” has earned him the 2024 Soca Monarch crown, while Osei Clarke (OKC) is the new Calypso Monarch.
According to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, in Mashramani song competitions held at different venues over the weekend, young Vinel Hinds stole the spotlight, winning both the Junior Calypso and Junior Soca Monarch titles.
Hinds said that she was beyond proud of herself. “2024 is a great start for me. I was able to regain my calypso crown and I retained my soca crown,” the two-time champion said on her Facebook page.
