Jumo wins first Road March title

Reigning Carib Soca Monarch, Jumo Rubber Waist Primo was announced the 2015 Road March King by the Mashramani Secretariat on Wednesday evening. He won the title with his tune “Unruly” which also dominated at the Carib Soca Monarch, 2015.

This is the first time that the X2 artiste has won the title but entered the competition twice before with, “The Road” and “One People”.

In a recent interview, he explained that the two previous songs were entered by his recording studio, Kross Kolors but this year, he thought that he has put a lot into promoting the song hence his double success in less than two weeks.

“It is indeed a great feeling… I am really excited and grateful… it shows that hard work and dedication along with prayers paid off… If you can dedicate yourself to something that you believe in, you can achieve anything”, the accomplished Soca Sensation related.

The self proclaimed ‘people’s champion’ promises to be the best he can be. He also promises to continue working hard to release quality music for his fans. “I just want to make them happy”, he reiterated.

Presently, he has a brand new song titled “Mr Mash” which has been creating some stir on the local airwaves. He is expected to record the video for “Like talk” as well the video for Mr Mash will be released soon.

He will concentrate on the release of a new song for 2016 and is excited about representing Guyana at the International Soca Monarch in Trinidad next year. He plans to visit the Twin Island Republic prior to the competition to promote his tune.

Ever since he has been crowned Carib Soca Monarch, Primo has been receiving calls from Antigua, St. Marteen, Canada and the US which he claims is a great feeling. The successes, he added could not have been possible without the support of the many bands that played his tune on Mash Day, the deejays Kross Kolors Studio, his team, fans and the media.

He also expressed gratitude to the Culture Youth and Sport Ministry for keeping Mash alive as well as Ansa McAl and the Heatwaves Band.
