Those who have made it to the finals are Shelly G, Passion, Roger B, Kemmy, Bones Man, Vanilla, Lil Red, Lady T, AJ, Avalanche, Ace and Mysterious.

Tomorrow evening we will see which contestant will be able to hold their own in order to win title of Carib Soca Monarch for the next year and have the privilege to represent Guyana at the International Soca Competition in 2015 in Trinidad and Tobago?

From the semi finals in Berbice, there were several high class performances by various artistes. These included performances by Shelly G, Vanilla, Bonesman, Kemmy and Lil Red along with Kwesi “Ace” and Roger B.

With the buzz around town, Jumo “Rubber Waist” Primo who recently returned from Trinidad and Tobago is all ready and will not let anything out of the bag other than to “bring u rags; flags; anything to get on bad”. The reigning monarch is eyeing the title for the third consecutive year. He encouraged his fans to turn up in their numbers and have a great time, while noting to come expecting anything.

As the hour draws near, the artistes are putting their final presentation into perspective. The Heatwave Band is also ready to take to the stage come Saturday evening. Apart from the Guyanese artistes, there will also be Kees and his band to add some flavour to the evening.
