LEGENDS TENT TO FEATURE TRINIDAD’S REIGNING CALYPSO MONARCH CRO-CRO
Basseterre,St.Kitts (November 14th 2007):-Legends Entertainment in collaboration with the Young and Energized Corps entertainment group will be presenting the LEGENDS TENT CALYPSO REVUE on November 24th 2007 at PAM Headquarters.
The event is expected to feature a number of big name local and regional calypsonians including the reigning Calypso Monarch out of Trinidad and Tobago Weston “Cro-Cro” Rawlins .
Cro Cro earlier this year claimed his fourth Trinidad and Tobago National Calypso Monarch title when he performed a humorous calypso entitled 'Nobody Ain't Go Know' before the judges at the 2007 edition of the Dimanche Gras at the Jean Pierre Complex, Port of Spain in Trinidad . Singing in position 15, he scored 428 points with a performance that was entertaining and thought provotking and good enough to earn him full support from the audience as well as the nod from the judges who decided that the title and the $500,000 prize that went with it should go to him.
Cro Cro's song gave an account of his experiences whenever he travels to the United States and everyone he knows asks him to take things to relatives living in New York.
Cro Cro said he was always confident that he would win although he acknowledged that his competitors all had very good songs and delivered sterling performances.
Rawlins has made a name in calypso on the basis of stinging attacks against political parties and biting social commentaries on , the education system and past prime ministers. He is one a very elite group of calypsonians who have won the Trinidad and Tobago Calypso Monarch title on multiple occasions including 1988,1990,1996 and 2007. He was recently listed by Kaisoca International as one of the top 15 calypsonians of all times joining the ranks with names like Sparrow, David Rudder, Lord Melody and Black Stalin
