About this title

Synopsis

This is The Bible of the Trinidad and Tobago Calypso and Soca Monarch Competitions. The Finalists is both entertaining and informative; Part 2 picks up from where Part 1 ends. An important aspect of the information presented in this book is the varying dimensions of research and analytical perspectives being made available. On one level it serves as a reliable source of reference data for those who need it at hand and at a glance. Throughout the book there is also a presentation of related factoids which in some instances point to the extracurricular activities of certain artistes. For those seeking a higher level of engagement with the information there are avenues for a deeper and more focused analysis of selected issues. No other publication makes available to the public as comprehensive an account of these competitions as is presented here.
