Jumo Primo, reigning Carib Soca Monarch King, will be leaving Guyana shortly to make preparations for his participation in the international Soca Monarch competition, slated to commence in Trinidad and Tobago on February 8.
Primo is all excited about his participation in the competition for the first time and promises to do his best, noting that while it is a personal achievement, it is one that Guyanese should be proud of.
While he is cognisant that he has limited time to prepare, his main focus is to put Guyana on the map with respect, as it relates to soca music. He is also well aware that there are some guns who will be sharing the same stage who are known to Trinidadians and who have already started to campaign and promote their music.
He encourages all Guyanese to get on board and give him the support that is needed to move forward into the finals. The semi-finals will be held on February 8 and there will be a particular number to send text messages to in support of the Guyanese artiste.
“Once the number is available, I will broadcast it to make sure that all Guyanese become a part of the process,” he added. His entry into the international soca monarch is “On de Road” which will also be his Carib Soca Monarch entry as he defends his title come February 15, in the National Park arena.
The song was released on Thursday and has already been creating some vibes on the local airwaves. However, with less than a month away to defend his title, Primo is well prepared but claims that anyone can be victorious.
He encourages all his fans to come out in their numbers on February 15 and party to the vibes and energy that he will bring to the stage. He recently released “Marching Out” which he said is suited for a duvet party.
We will start with “Marching Out” then we will hit the roads with “On De Road” that will also be entered for the Road March competition. He is also expected to release Nosey People (Part two) called “People Like Talk”.
Meanwhile, the soca sensation and X2 member thanked his fans for their overwhelming support over the years. He said without his fans, he is no one. He reiterated that he is all excited to be part of the international Soca Monarch competition and renewed his call for the support from his fans.
