Double blogging this week to introduce the 3 top Junior Calypsonians on Montserrat after the 11th Annual contest hosted by the Montserat Union of Teachers
This year and for the third time, they were backed up by Small Beginnings an orchestra made up of young people who are just so dedicated, under the tutelage of Herman Cupid Francis, former teacher and now co ordinator of Culture who with no formal training in music is doing the best he can to help the youth of the island.
The contest is a feature of the St Patrick's Week of activities... now somebody tell me why we celebrate this Feast on Montserrat!
First place : Jaemal "ALOES" Jeffers, a Grade 6 pupil who also won the Best newcomer prize and the prize for the best calypso in the compulsory History Round
He sang Montserrat nice still and Abuses, no excuses
Second place Dikembe Cabey who sang Haiti Will Rise in his second round ( photo 24 )and a tribute to an educator, sportswoman, and Politician Mary Tuitt.
Third place: Kimberley " little Kim" Duberry who sang Lest We Forget and Potholes ( photo 16 )
