Calypso Judging Underway

OVER 40 calypsonians will face quarter-final judges over four nights beginning last night with the combined Take-Over Tent/Soca Village at the National Cultural Centre.

Former King De Invader led the cast which also included a number of faces new to calypso competition. Tonight, it will be the turn of the De Socalypso Revue with Blaze and Weatherman leading the charge from a tent which also boasts exciting new talent.

On Friday it will be the turn of the South Calypso Tent where two former monarchs are expected to feature prominently alongside a number seasoned performers and bright new sparks.

The Ambassadors Calypso Tent will culminate the round of quarter final judging on Saturday with former King Educator and TC Brown and other outstanding talent making a case for semi-final places.
