Rivaldo London claimed the National Action Cultural Committee’s 2026 Young Kings crown at the Carnival City, Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain, on Tuesday night.
His victory was sealed after a poignant performance of his song Water Thicker. Composed by London and Kenny Phillips, the song drew on the biblical story of Cain and Abel and flipped the old adage that “blood is thicker than water,” suggesting that family is not always safe or loving.
