Munro is a scamp from since before most tuners were born.

A whole arcade and plenty businesses burnt down early one morning because of something to do with outstanding rent that one renter of a boutique/shoe store did not want to pay. Talk about evil!

Correct! I am trying to remember if it was he and the Martineau brothers and then they fell out. Munro used to tax the Soca Monarch Winners part (5% ?) of their winnings. LOL.

Speaking of TUCO, how is it carnival is a so called revenue earner yet TUCO is in arrears to the tune of millions in their rent?

The funny thing is all these events have a million and one private sponsors , all these years supporting them. Not one year, the private sector could come together and put their money on the front line.....interesting

Yes, they just need some more innovation to be appealing to wider audiences, that said some of them can benefit with funding/assistance as they're culturally significant events that we should not lose. But everything has to evolve as well and so much government funding stifles innovation here.

I didn't think ISM was so reliant on tax payers that it couldn't stand on its own with minimal assistance

Like all of them it was part of the govt sponsored carnival play and evolved into certain persons controlling it

This thread is the most dead that I have seen in years.

Uninterested?

Licks for UNC as Kaiso Showkase opens

PICONG and political commentary dominated the opening night of Kaiso Showkase calypso tent at Palms Club, San Fernando on Friday night, with the usual bashing for the opposition and praise for the ruling party.

The lone UNC alderman Colin Lezama on the San Fernando City Corporation, sat in silence, with a smile and sometimes a smirk, among his cheering PNM colleagues who raised their hands and applauded as the calypsonians pounded his party and leader.

Dressed in yellow dress and shoes, the UNC’s party colour, Alicia Richards got the most encores for her satire called De Crush, in which she explored the “real relationship” between Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar and former AG Faris Al-Rawi.

There was raucous laughter from the time the diminutive and plump calypsonian hit the stage, telling the story of the "lady from Siparia" who sat opposite Faris when he was AG, always on his case blaming him for every situation in the country.

Richards, intimating she was really masquerading a crush, batted her eye lashes as she sang, “Everything is Faris, Faris, Faris, Ah wonder how Gregory does feel,” – a reference to Persad-Bissessar's husband.

Rolling out new verses as she was called back, she suggested that having “finished with Faris she now attack Foster, he name she began to slander, saying he is a land grabber, madam Siparia crying Foster, Foster, how Gregory does feel,” ending with “Rowley, Rowley, Rowley," – adding government minister Foster Cummings and the Prime Minister to song.

Enjoying multiple encores also was Tameika Darius for stage presence, in costume as an African queen, and a song which dealt with the name-calling spat between government minister Camille Robinson-Regis over Persad-Bissessar’s Indian middle name and Persad-Bissessar's comeback about her "slave" name.

As a woman of African descent, Darius said she was insulted by the reference, as she had no choice in choosing a name, saying that was no "jahaji bai" as Brother Marvin once sang, but Jahaji Bash – the title of her 2023 contribution.

The trend continued with Queen Victoria (Victoria Cooper Rahim), dressed in a red one-piece, who referred to the Prime Minister as a “hard working man” congratulating him for the gas deal with Venezuela before delving into her song Good Advice.
