Carib Soca Monarch plans ‘on track’
Even as the focus is on the festive season, plans are almost complete for the staging of the Carib Soca Monarch 2010 Mashramani competition.
A source from within the Carib Beer Soca Monarch planning committee, told this publication that Soca Monarch contenders need to start preparing their songs to submit for a possible chance at the first prize purse.

“We are focused on Christmas right now but our plans are almost complete for the 2010 competition and from what I know things will be bigger and better,” the source said.
With Christmas Day having passed, the plans should be unveiled at a launching ceremony in a few days, the source informed. When this publication contacted Nigel Worrell, the event coordinator, he was tight-lipped on specifics, but hinted that the event is definitely happening in 2010 in a big way.
Shellon Garraway (Shelly G) formerly known as ‘Shelly Belly’, is the reigning soca monarch and word from her camp is that she has no plans to let go of the crown. She copped the title last year over Melissa ‘Vanilla’ Roberts with her spicy soca hit titled ‘Work it.’ ‘Vanilla’ eventually won the Road March title with her “Ah coming hot for the carnival.”
According to reports from the Kross Kolor ‘Head Hunters’ camp, three times soca monarch Adrian Dutchin is in the valley of decision, contemplating a possible return to the competition, while Vanilla and B52 (Lil Man) as well as Berbician ‘Bones man’ plan to stake their claim on the crown in February 2010.
