The stage is set for the highly anticipated semi finals of the Carib Soca Monarch billed for Saturday evening at the New Amsterdam Stelling Road commencing at 20:00h.
All 18 artistes are hyped and ready to compete for the grand prize of $1.5 million and bragging rights for a year, but the winner will also have an opportunity to represent Guyana at the international competition in Trinidad and Tobago.
The semis are expected to be steaming hot, taking into consideration that there will be eliminations on that night and only a fraction of contestants will be moving forward to the finals slated for February 15 at the National Park tarmac. This year, there are a few new faces while there are still some veterans in the game.
The semi-finalists are Lady T, Shelly G, G Money, Ernesta Nelson, Ahzula’s, Avalanche, Mysterious, Natoya London, Vanilla, AJ, Magga Man, Kemmy, Lil Red, Roger B, Bones Man, Kwesi “Ace” Edmonson, Passion and Ivelaw.
