Jumo “Rubber Waist” Primo is thankful for his semi-final experience at the International Soca Monarch competition held in Trinidad and Tobago last weekend.
The reigning Carib Soca Monarch in a recent interview stated that his performance was on point, but apparently there was an agreement that he was unaware of that he was there just to perform and not to compete for the title.
He noted that while in Trinidad and Tobago, his team managed to organise a few radio and television appearances with little or no assistance from the International Soca Monarch committee. His tune, “Unruly”, he explained, was only played whenever he made an appearance on the radio.
This, he noted, was not his expectation as any competition should always be a level playing field. While he represented Carib, as a result of being the Carib Soca Monarch, at the semi-finals, he now plans to enter the competition independently. Although he did not make the cut for the final, he was appreciative of the efforts made by Carib Beer to have him showcase his talent.
He intends to compete in the 2017 competition in a bigger way. He promises to continue releasing songs on a regular basis.
