The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation (TUCO) is again denying claims of political interference in this year’s Calypso Monarch judging, but one veteran calypsonian, Hollis “Chalkdust” Liverpool, insists the real problem lies with poorly trained judges.
Speaking at yesterday’s draw for order of appearance in the National Calypso Monarch final at Sunday’s Dimanche gras show, TUCO president Ainsley King distanced the organisation from such claims, noting that reigning Calypso Monarch Helon Francis won last year with what he deemed as “political commentary” – titled ‘To Whom it May Be.’
