 Soca
veteran Iwer George showed once again that he still has what it takes to take
the Power Soca Monarch title home. Yes! Iwer mashed up the place over in Trinidad where he beat out artistes like Shurwayne Winchester,
Patrice Roberts and others. Bajan, Biggie Irie left as the first
non-Trinidadian to win the Groovy Soca Monarch title.
On Friday
evening, they held the International Soca Monarch competition in two
categories, Groovy & Power soca. Finalists were up against last year’s
winner of both categories, Shurwayne Winchester. Biggie Irie led in points
during the semi-finals and proved to be the favorite among the judges Friday
night. Performing his hit, “Nah Go Home,”
Biggie Irie had a simple, yet effective presentation with revelers and a rhythm
section. Chippin along the stage, Biggie
Irie’s strong voice had the crowd moving considering it was still early in the
evening.

It’s the kind of music you
want to hear when you are sitting at home on a Sunday afternoon and you need to
take a musical cruise. You’d pop in her CD, the same way you would a Sade, or
Della Manley.
Acclaimed Grammy
Award-nominated English singer and songwriter, Corinne Bailey Rae released her self-titled
debut album in February 2006. Incidentally, the singer, born in Leeds to an English mother and a West Indian father, was
named the number one predicted breakthrough act of 2006 in an annual BBC poll
of music critics.
And they predicted right!
Rae’s is the fourth female British act in history to have her first album debut
at number one.

Who will be the Power Soca Monarch? |

Sunday, 18 February 2007 |
By this
time next week, Trinidad will have a new
Groovy Monarch and Power Soca Monarch unless Shurwayne Winchester can put
together two amazing performances for a second year in a row. The competition
is looking stiff for Winchester
as the finalists for the International Soca Monarch Competition are looking to
shake things up this year. For the last
few years, Shurwayne and Bunji Garlin were the names to look out for. Bunji stated last year he was finished with
the competition, and it looks like he’s holding to his word. He’ll more than likely be at the competition
to show support to his wife, Fayanne Lyons-Alvarez, who will be competing in
the Power Soca Finals. Those who will face Shurwayne in the Power Soca category
will be: Nadia Batson, Patrice Roberts, Bionic Blaze & JW, Blaxx, Iwer
George, Fayanne Lyons, Dawg E. Slaughter, Minmi (Japan), Denise Belfon,
Olatunji Yearwood, and Barry Chandler (Barbados).
