According to SCDF, the organisers are very excited to be involved with Carnival’s largest local event in the Village.
“Calypso is very important to us and we are very happy that calypso lovers will be organising it this year. We always try to involve as many Carnival stakeholders as possible in all aspects of Carnival. Tobias, Stunky (a former Calypso Monarch), Toontje and Cheryl are all Carnival lovers and in particular calypso. They promote the event individually and support it every year. So, the event is in good hands,” SCDF said.

Ebony Empress singing the song “We are the survivors,” Tea Pot performing “Where do we go from here,” Mighty Dow – “I want to know,” Mighty Chipman – “Baseball Calypso,” The Protégé – “Countdown,” The Wizard – “Ah Vex,” Kaiso Brat – “Drones,” King Barrow – “We Must Believe,” Pensioner – “Yes,” Mighty Dando – “They don’t know how to run a country,” King Beau Beau – “Jam Dem, ” Genius – “Back to the polls,” D-Monitor – “St. Maarten name calling,” Baker Jr. – “Shame,” X-Rey – “Don’t come back here,” Repeater – “SXM will rise again” and Mighty Pepper – “Hippopotamus.”
