SINGING SANDRA WON THE CALYPSO MONARCH IN TRINIDAD

IVENA WON THE CALYPSO MONARCH IN ANTIGUA

ST. VINCENT HAS A FEMALE CALYPSO MOARCH

AND IN BARBADOS, T.C. CAME IN 1ST RUNNER UP

AND THERE MAYBE OTHERS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT

AND IN A REGIONAL COMPETITION, FEMALES TOOK FIRST AND SECOND PLACE

I THINK THIS STRONG FEMALE PRESENCE IN CALYPSO DOES COUPLE OF THINGS

1. IT GIVES AN ADDED DIMENSION TO THE ARTFORM AS A WHOLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO AS THE NUMBER OF FEMALE CALYPSONIANS POTENTIALLY INCREASE

2. CALYPSO (ALONG WITH SOCA) CAN INCREASINGLY BECOME A VEHICLE TO VOICE WOMEN ISSUES PARTICULARILY IN THE CARIBBEAN AND CAN BE USE TO CHANNEL POSITIVITY COUNTERING THE NEGATIVITY FROM OTHER GENRES OF MUSIC LIKE HIPHOP AND SOME DANCEHALL.

congrats to all the female making a name for themselves in the Soca Music Industry it is about time and it is well deserved let them man know that de females coming on strong to mash things up!:p

DEFINETLEY BIG UP TO ALL THE FEMALE ARTISTS WHO DOING THERE THING IN THIS MALE DOMINATED INDUSTRY!!!!
