Helon Francis is once again the National Calypso Monarch.

He dethroned Machel Montano to claim the coveted title on Sunday night at a fiercely contested calypso monarch competition at the Dimanche Gras show on Sunday night at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain. The show was a grand spectacle—a true celebration of mas, calypso, and culture.

Delivering a thought-provoking address to the next prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Francis secured his second national title with: “To Whom It May Be”—a poignant, politically-charged calypso that resonated deeply with both judges and audience at the show.
