Jumo crowned 2015 Carib Soca Monarch
Jumo ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo just minutes after his victory
JUMO ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo has proven that he is the best in the local soca industry when the 11th staging of the Carib Soca Monarch was held at the National Park on Saturday evening. Performing “Unruly”, Primo outshone his 14 other rivals and in process took away the monarchy from Kwasi Ace Edmondson, who reigned for one year. This is the third time Primo will rule the monarchy, with Edmondson being second in command. Former junior calypsonian Ernesta
Nelson has joined the kingdom for the first time as third in command, and Melissa ‘Vanilla’ Roberts had to settle for 4th in command. The best newcomer’s award was given to the ‘fireman’, Jory Hector, who performed “Whistle.” Primo walked away with $1.5 million in cash, while Edmonson will receive $500,000; Nelson pockets $250,000 and Vanilla will uplift $100,000. The newcomer is expected to receive $100,000 as well.
