Show Coordinator at the Carnival Development Corporation Anthony Dennie at a recent press conference placed SVG’s Soca Monarch event ahead of any other in the region.
“At this point in time we are ahead of Trinidad and Tobago, we are ahead of Barbados, we are ahead of Grenada. The vibe, the energy felt and experienced at Soca Monarch in St. Vincent and the Grenadines—it’s very difficult for you to encounter such anywhere else across the globe for that matter,” Dennie said.

Kamara ‘Keido’ Foster; Kevon ‘Sick-O’ Shallow; Keronna ‘Keke’ Samuel; Chewalee Johnson & Jamalie ‘L-Pank’ Stapleton; Derron ‘Magikal’ Rouse; Keith Currency; Kenville ‘Fonando’ Horne; ‘Dymez’ and ‘Da Pixel’; Utamu ‘Bongo Prime’ Rose; Ozarie Matthews; and Delroy ‘Fireman’ Hooper.
