For Steven Ramphal, six times proved to be a charm. His outstanding performance coupled with the words of his song “Rang Ke Bhare Main Bhool Jao” (“Forget About Your Colour and Let’s Live in Love”) won him the 2019 Chutney Monarch crown at the final of the competition sponsored by Banks DIH Ltd at the Anna Regina Community Centre Ground last Sunday.
Steven, who was performing on a high at having placed second in the Soca Monarch competition the previous night at the National Park, told The Scene in an interview: “Words cannot explain what I’m feeling right now. But from where I started to where I am right now, I’m very proud of my accomplishments.”
Steven’s song strongly emphasizes on love and unity of Guyanese and he scored 11 points more than last year’s Chutney Monarch Bunty Singh, who placed second.
