Perhaps Ansa McAl Marketing Division can address this situation

Nov 24, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
Guyana needs to join the bandwagon with Trinidad & Tobago and categorise Soca Music for its 2015 Carib Soca Monarch Competition (Mashramani).  It’s either ‘Power Soca Category’ or ‘Groovy Soca Category.’
It also does not limit any artiste from entering both categories.
Failing to do so, it is my opinion that Guyana will once again have a messed up decision by judges as it did in 2014.
As I can vividly remember, Jumo sang a Power Soca tune and Kwesi sang a Groovy Soca tune. Kwesi was awarded the winner and I just never endorsed such a decision by the judges.
Again, I am not certain whether most Guyanese are aware of the difference between Power and Groovy Soca Tunes/Music. I hope they do research and understand the difference.
Enough time is available and perhaps Ansa McAl Marketing Division can address this situation ASAP.
The Press Report stated that ‘Kwesi’ is coming with something different for the 2015 Competition and if it is that he is belting out a Power Soca Tune vs Jumo with a Power Soca, I will endorse the judges’ decision between the two artistes.
Quite frankly,I can’t think of anyone else at the moment who can seriously challenge Jumo when it comes Power Soca, but perhaps Kwesi might be the one to change everything from a Power Soca level.
