Kwasi ‘Ace’ Edmonson overthrew the reigning monarchy of Jumo Primo and earned himself the title of the tenth Carib Soca Monarch when the competition wrapped up early yesterday morning.
Hundreds gathered in the National Park on Saturday evening to witness the highly-anticipated competition that leads up to the annual Mashramani celebrations. Despite a delay of more than two hours, the scores gathered bore no grudges when hosts Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardine and Leslyn Lashley finally appeared, laughing along with their warm personas as they set the mood for the evening.
An energetic opening number was performed by well-known local musicians Jackie Hanover and Calvin Burnett. Backed up by the Heat Wave Band and sensual high-jumping dancers, the musicians got the audience into the partying mood long
